ACROSS THE DESK of the Associate Editor C ONGRATULATIONS to Dr. R. S. Beal, Southwest stalwart, on com- . ptetion of twenty-eight years of fruit ful ministry in the “ sun city,” Tucson, Arizona! Dr. Beal follows New Testa ment strategy with a strong central church and s u r r o u n d i n g mission churches. . 1] We admire the factual make-up of the fearless Converted Catholic magazine, edited, by former Roman Catholic priests and given over to the dissemination of truth among Protestants and Catholics alike. This monthly ought to be included in every alert believer’s reading, Some of the wind is taken out of the sails of preachers by consideration of the sta tistics to the effect that there are fifteen times as many churches as “movie” theaters. With this preponder ance of houses of worship, surely the American church ought to make a better showing. And yet, even this comparison does betoken a vital and definite Christian’ nucleus in our land. Many out-of-state cars are appear ing in California. The Chamber of Commerce predicts a future popula tion of 20,000,000 for the Golden State with 5,000,000 in and around Los An gèles. Another challenge to the Chris tian forces of this area, including the Bible Institute o f ’Los Angeles. ^1 Our hearty endorsement o f the excellent Baptist weekly, The Watchman Exam iner. for editorially calling on pastors and church to consider the amount of space given over to liquor advertising in the national behemoths of the mag azine business, Life and Time. Editor Luce, son of missionary parents, ought to know better. A complaint we would add is that the note of “ smarty- smarty” sensuality is ever increasing. /] Visiting alumnus of Biola expresses Wish that he might take courses of fered now after he has come to ap preciate their value as he did not at the time when his parents forced him to attend. There’s something to this, and schools might do well to take note, Plans are under way for our usual six weeks’ summer session at the Bible Institute. Last year there were reports of abundant blessing from this summer oasis. Students may live in the dormitories during this s c h o o l term, Printing costs con tinue to increase with result that many magazines are forced to raise their subscription prices. However, a half dollar raise looks rather small when yow remember that it will be divided into twelve sections, f Na tional conditions continue to be un settled with many religious editors advocating this and that. What a comfort to remember that we do have a Heavenly Father who isn’t worried.
