tem, and are eager to send out their own foreign missionaries. Filipino can didates are now on deputation through their own mission board for Indonesia and New Guinea. Three missionaries are now in Thailand and one family is home on their first furlough, hjiving established a flourishing church and trained a pastor in ju st four years. We rejoice to have a part in such a fru it ful mission field and seek ways to en courage our churches to grow stronger so they can send more missionaries. One of the finest tools is Christian literature like KING’S BUSINESS, each copy of which is probably read a dozen times over.

MUSIC As an appreciative KING’S BUSI NESS reader for some years, I read in the November issue a subject which gives me considerable concern. I t is the values and criterion of Christian music especially relating to our young people. There seems to be a landslide toward accepting the new sounds for Gospel'music by music publishers, rec ord companies and some denomination al arrangers. In a frantic effort to ap peal to youth, some are unconsciously using music which distorts and mini mizes the Gospel message. Music is the language of emotions. Christians should realize th a t the mel ody, rhythm and harmony (or discord) of music is felt, often subconsciously, and whether accepted or rejected, it does affect our emotional reactions. The right kind of rhythm, accent, harmony and melody is essential for good music. Good music is uplifting, ennobling, encouraging, comforting. Evil music is debasing, inflammatory, seductive, re bellious, wild, and is destructive of nerves, health and morals. We need to be alert to its evil effects and guard against promoting it or listening to it. There is no need to be profane to give the Gospel to the profane in his language. Nor is it necessary to use wild music to try to clarify the Gospel message to the rebellious today. F.W.T.M., Williamsburg, Kentucky OUR APOLOGIES . . . In the January issue which carried an article by Dr. Henry Morris the or ganization he represents should have been Creation Research rather than Biblical Research. In the February issue, the article on TRAVEL CAMP concludes with a para graph that should have been presented as a quotation from one of the youth directors. The statement reflects the feelings of the directors, not necessarily that of the writer. There is also a slight production error with several lines of copy out of proper sequence.
