A Jewish boy accepted a tract, "Isaiah's Por trait of Messiah" and immediately asked, "Can you tell me more about this?" There on a street corner in Chicago a )2 year old boy listened intently to the skillful presentation of the Scriptures and ac cepted Jesus Christ as his Messiah and Sav iour. A middle-aged Jew ess, after hearing the gospel for several years at Miami Beach called and said, "I am terribly distressed. Please come over. I must find the Lord today."

THE NATIONAL COUNCIL OF CHURCHES SWITCHES ITS EMPHASIS |N r e c e n t y e a r s , the National Council o f Churches in its an nual sessions has centered its heaviest blows against the war in Viet Nam. It has also lauded the civil rights programs by encour aging marches, demonstrations, and other forms o f civil rebellion. In an editorial, dated March 8, 1967, the Chicago Tribune says concerning the National Council, “ Never given to saying a harsh word about the Communist enemy or a kind word for American involvement in the fight for freedom in Southeast Asia, the N.C.C. usually have called for a cease fire, American withdrawal, and submission o f the country’s future to the indifferent atten tion o f the United Nations.” However, at its annual Christian Education meeting held in February o f 1967, in Dallas, Texas, there was a noticeable switch in its emphasis— “ Sex replaced Viet Nam.” One o f the key speakers was the Dean o f Students at a well-known divinity school in the East. He stated that the oppor tunities for sexual experience have increased vastly in our modern day life and added; “ The time has come when Christians will have to acknowledge the undeniable existence o f sex, then per haps we can begin on our feeble beginnings o f educating our church members for this important area o f living.” The Tribune editorial concludes: “ The more effort the N.C.C. expends on re search into the birds and the bees, the less it will have to befuddle and confuse the serious matter o f life and death in Viet Nam.” It seems tragic, indeed, that the time has come when the secular press must take the church to task for its lack o f spiritual empha sis and its involvement in all o f the peripheral activities which are occupying the attention o f these so-called spiritual leaders o f our churches. Among the notables who were invited to speak before the more than one thousand Christian Education leaders from over forty denominations in attendance at the conclave, were former Bishop James A. Pike and Malcolm Boyd. It was this latter in dividual who reportedly was featured in a recent issue o f Playboy Magazine. The publication itself boldly advocates everything
