It is a Department of the Church through which the Church works for and through her youth?Ellen G. Harmon-White penned the following quotes regarding the youth:"We have an army of youth today who can do much if they are properly directed and encouraged. We want our children to believe the truth. We want them to be blessed of God. We want them to act a part in well-organized plans for helping other youth. Let all be so trained that they may rightly represent the truth, giving them reason of the hope that is within them, and honoring God in any branch of the work where they are qualified to labor." (General Conference Bulletin, January 29, 30, 1893, p. 24.)"Young men and young women, cannot you form companies, and as soldiers of Christ, enlist in the work, putting all your tact and skill and talent into the Master's service, that you may save souls from ruin? Let there be companies organized in every church to do this work." (Signs of the Times, May 29, 1893)
