The Press and The Christian W o r ld One Church: Many Presbyterian leaders are greatly desirous of a complete Presbyterian union. This may be a step nearer with the election of Dr. Clifford E. Barbour of the Knoxville, Tennessee, Second Presbyterian Church to Moderatorship of the General Assembly of the Presby terian Church in the United States. Dr. Barbour, the first moderator from the South since 1834, has expressed his hope that one great Presbyterian Church out of many will be created. Largest Missionary Offering: The 26th Annual Missionary Con vention of the Peoples Church in To ronto was the occasion for receiving an offering of $181,000, the largest ever received. This will enable the Peoples Church to maintain its present staff of over 20'0 missionaries, and to send out a score or more of new workers. Protestant Voice: Although U. S. Protestantism has never yet possessed a single journal istic voice, in all probability this may soon be realized. Recently a hundred and fifty Protestant churchmen met in Kansas City and announced plans to buy the present Protestant Voice and turn it into a national Protestant publi cation which looks like a newspaper and reads like one, with interest as uni versal as the church it represents. South American Revival: Recently Paul F. Robinson and Henry C. Crowell of the Moody Bible Insti tute flew over 10,000 miles throughout Central and South America and reported that real revival is breaking out today in that area. Even veteran missionaries are immensely encouraged by the way the Lord has been working during the last few weeks. Especially in Ecuador was the revival evident. The meetings are crowded and sometimes there is barely room for the speaker to stand. Foundation For Christian Schools: Dr. George J. Broodman, a dentist of Grand Rapids, Michigan, is the foun der of a movement to further the in terest of Christian education by the publishing of Christian school text books, sponsoring scholarships, confer ences, clinics, and refresher courses for Christian school teachers. Teams For Europe: Dr. Robert A. Cook, President of Youth for Christ International, has called for a thousand ministers to form 500 two-men evangelistic teams to travel to 55 countries of the world to reach the spiritually hungry. Dr. Cook be lieves that'with these teams there would be created a spiritual “blitz” which would shake these countries for Christ. Tomorrow, he feels, may be too late. J U L Y . 1 9 4 9
