ACROSS THE DESK of the Associate Editor

QJIÑCERE congratulations to several ^ hew religious magazines which are doihg an excellent job presenting truth in up-to-the-minute journalistic dress. However, there may be a dan ger in a too intense desire for modern acceptance which inevitably calls for sortie form of sensationalism, jf The printing industry has certainly im proved its technique in the last gen eration. Some of the color work ap pearing on today’s magazines is sim ply superb. We wish that it were possible for us to compete with such expensive photography, Many let ters cross the desk from elderly peo ple who listen to the radio ministry. They thank God for the privilege of hearing the riches of the Word of God taufeht even when they are unable to attend church services. This is an- othér worthy by-product of Gospel broadcasting. There seems to be an untisually high percentage of those who write in with real problems in their lives. Those who edit maga zines, and who plan radio programs ought to keep this in mind. Other letters come to the desk revealing great confusion about simple Bible truths. One of the weapons of Satan’s present-day strategy is to confuse men and women by preaching things that are similar to the truth, but do not contain the genuine and the whole truth. This behooves us to be very simple and clear in our presentation of the Word of Life. j[ I am told, and I believe it to be true, that there is a dearth of writers with real ability today. Many manuscripts which are presented exhibit little or none of the basic elements of successful journal ism, Perhaps the lack of time that is needed for good writing is the cause of this. But there is definitely a wide field here, Among numerous appli- catibns received at Biola from re- turried G.I.’s, many have been accept ed as students. The percentage of these who are dead in earnest about absorbing the truth of the Scriptures is high. Another ten years may see these same veterans graduated and established in service, making a real impression on the Christian world. The fortnighter, Protestant Voice, seertis to be doing well reporting the religious news. Some of its readers, we hote from the letters’ column, wish that it would “protest" a bit more. Have you noticed in Protestant jour nals the rising tide of opposition to Roman Catholic politics? Surely this is a healthful sign. Glad to note some definite figures from official circles in Argentina, revealing the facts about the Catholic population (See current editorial on this subject.)
