reader reaction
STAND FOR THE TRUTH I am writing this letter to say how glad I am that you are so definite for the fundamental Gospel. The editorials by Samuel H. Sutherland have been of spe cial blessing to me. I am so disappointed with some men whom I used to think were true to the Scriptures. I hope you keep it up! R. I. Humbert), Flora, Indiana. REVIEW OF SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST BOOK Thank you for your review of the book of Seventh - day Adventism by Walter Martin. Ever since the book was first pub lished I felt that Mr. Martin was inade quately informed about this cult. While the book is well written and does contain some accurate material that is helpful, I feel that it will do more harm than good. Frankly, I feel that the booksellers would render a service by returning all of their stock to the publisher. Dr. Lehman Strauss, Pastor, Highland Park Baptist Church, Highland Park, Michigan. YOUNG PEOPLE'S REACTION The High School Christian Endeavor Society of Chowchilla wishes to thank you for the wonderful article, “ A Saint Enters His Rest” (August, 1960). Rev. Walter Sutherland was the sponsor of our group and pastor emeritus of our church for many years, and we all loved him dearly. He was with the C.E. societies until the week before he became ill. His influence has reached over more than a generation of young people in Chowchilla and we do truly know him to be a saint. His love, his example, and his teaching have made a lasting impres sion on us and have played a great part in molding our lives. W e know we shall always remember this wonderful man. The High School Chriiti.n Endeavor Society, First Presbyterian Church, Chowchilla, California. COMMENTS ON EDITORIAL May I thank you sincerely for that pow erful and timely Message from the Edi tor on Catholicism (July, 1960).

TEACHING SPEECH
at MBI
New three-room speech recording center at MBI is being used for classes in practice teaching, preaching, public speak ing and storytelling. It is possible to record from these rooms in a central control center at one time. Teacher can signal by means of intercom munications system. With these facilities, stu dent will have at least two recordings of speech es made during a semes ter. Then he will have opportunity to listen to them critically by him self, or together with teacher for his evaluation. Two of the rooms in the sp eech cen ter are equipped with closed cir cuit television. As stu dent speaks or preaches before a TV camera, the teacher and part of class retire to a small viewing room where they watch student on TV set. This permits discussion and evaluation of student performance while speech is in progress, without interruption. New TV Classrooms
While this laboratory method is revolutionary and the facilities new and exciting—it is only a tool. At MBI this effective tool is helping train future mis sionaries to reach the 2,000 tongues as yet without the gospel.
