who have graduated since 1954, and who present two years of suitable college credit, may qualify for a de­ gree by enrolling for additional hours of Bible.

Leslie Miller, director of publica­ tions for Gospel Light Publications, Glendale, California, has announced three new additions to the editorial staff. Dr. Frank Farrell, former assis­ tant editor of Christianity Today, joined the Gospel Light staff as associate editor. In addition to his work on Bible study materials for youth and adults, Dr. Farrell will represent Gospel Light at key con­ ventions and conferences across the nation. Also joining the Gospel Light staff are Mr. and Mrs. David Benson. As editorial director, college-career department, Mr. Benson is directing the development of a new college- career curriculum, and Mrs. Benson is developing a new youth curriculum for use in vacation Bible schools. Mr. Benson is also writing a biography of the late Dr. Henrietta C. Mears, founder of Gospel Light Publica­ tions. Dr. George O. Peek, pastor of the North Long Beach Brethren Church, California, has announced ground breaking for a n e w educational building which is expected to cost $435,000.

formed without cost to missionary societies. Mr. Wolff stated that ap­ plication forms and tests prepared by STA will meet the requirements of a majority of mission boards in order to reduce red tape for volun­ teers. The agency also will co-oper­ ate with several schools in further­ ing the training of applicants in such areas as culture and language familiarization. Dr. Edwin L. Frlzen, Jr., Mr. Wolff executive secretary of the Interde­ nominational Foreign Mission Asso­ ciation said, “ At least a third of our 47 member missions are already in­ terested in this approach. It is be­ coming an accepted method of mis­ sionary endeavor. Although it is a new thing for most of us, I am pre­ pared to co-operate completely.” Rev. Raymond J. Davis, general director of the Sudan Interior Mission, ex­ plained, “ Short-term service is first and foremost a missionary program. Its objective and goal is the calling out and development of the church of Jesus Christ. It is not a substitute for, but a complement to, lifetime missionary service. . . . Certainly not all Christians are called to serve their entire lifetime on the mission fields of the world.” An interesting sidelight to this is the fact the one organization which originally sent 23 abroad for short terms reports that 14 are currently back on the field in full-time service. Dr. William Culbertson, president of the Moody Bible Institute of Chica­ go, announced recently that the In­ stitute will begin to grant degrees in June 1967. While continuing to offer without change its famous three- year Bible centered curriculum lead­ ing to diploma, the school will issue the bachelor’s degree to those who have also taken two years of work at an approved college or university. Since more Bible study will be re­ quired of degree candidates than has been required for a diploma under the established curriculum, alumni
