ACROSS THE DESK of the Associate Editor

TT was thrilling to see nearly 20,000 young people assembled in the Holly­ wood Bowl for a Youth for Christ Rally on June 29. Three things were impressive: the audience was over­ whelmingly composed of young people with surprisingly few adults present; the speakers did not “trim” their mes­ sages—they spoke fearlessly of Christ ,and His power to save; we were both­ ered no end by the photographers from the newspapers who were constantly taking flashlight pictures. Christian Recording Company with offices in Los Angeles is filling a real place by manufacturing records for distribution and sale. Earle Williams, youthful president, says that he is in­ terested only in recording the musical efforts of born-again Christians. God’s blessing will be upon this enterprise as it cannot be upon the artistry of worldly people who sing our hymns but do not know their meaning. Noticed Christian Life and Times on the newsstands, and observed sev­ eral purchasing this new, newsy and well-gotten-up magazine. | T h e r e seems to be a real need on the part of the Christian reading public for arti­ cles which stress the comfort which is to be found in the truth of God. Yet this subject is dealf with very infre­ quently on the pages of religious pub­ lications. Tf Report of the practical Christian work activities of the students of Biola for the year 1945-46 shows that out of nearly 6,000 conversations on spiritual things, 844 persons were led to Christ. In addition, 136 other young people were led to surrender their lives for service. Thus training time opens a real mission field to the Bible student. Far too often young people, who ought to go to a summer Bible confer­ ence, forego this in order to take jobs. Conference week often results in the most important decision in life. U The Christian public seems to be more and more agreeable to the use of Gospel films for Christian work. How­ ever, in Order to safeguard this excel­ lent means of approach, those who produce these films should be conse­ crated Christians. U Paper shortages continue to plague publishers of many publications, even long established secular magazines being forced to reduce size and number of pages. Yet, inexplicable as it may seem, dozens of new publications have recently appeared on the newsstands. If Enjoyed greatly the visit of Wendell P. Loveless, veteran radio director of the Moody Bible Institute. Dr. Love­ less undoubtedly knows more about Gospel broadcasting than anyone else in the country. He stopped off on his way to Mt. Hermon for a Bible con­ ference.
