ACROSS THE DESK of the Associate Editor W E have had occasion to become acquainted with s o m e of the executives of a national broadcasting chain, and find them riot at all anti- Christian in their attitude, Perhaps the reason why so many religious broadcasters have had to leave the airways is b e c a u s e of poor pro gramming. 'if The second book by Dr. Wendell Loveless has made its ap pearance—this one is on methods of Gospel broadcasting. IT S p e n t two weeks at a summer Bible conference and am convinced that this is the ideal vacation for Christian young people, combining fun with benefit, and fellowship with spiritual growth, if The demand for space in our col leges and institutes seems to exceed all records. It grieves our hearts to turn down more than three hundred applicants to the Bible Institute of Los Angeles. Before me are some of the many letters from sorely disap pointed young people for whom we have no room. Surely it is wrong to have to turn down such earnest and potentially useful youth, but what can we do? We are filled to capacity. Statistics indicate that the veteran G. I. makes a good student. He is eager to learn, which is more than can be said for the average matric ulant. As someone has facetiously remarked: “College bred is a four year loaf!” It is interesting to note the way in which faith mis sion societies have grown. Even dur- the difficult years of the war, suf ficient means were secured to recruit and send forth scores of missionary volunteers. ^ It has been demon strated convincingly that a radio pro gram helps a church greatly in the matter of attendance. At the Church of the Open Door in Los Angeles, where an .extensive radio ministry is carried on, there is scarcely a Sunday in which there are not hundreds of visitors, whose interest was aroused by radio, ff The same troubles in the paper industry persist. However, the end may be in sight as labor and transportation difficulties are being solved, Many requests for publicity reach our desk and most of them are worthy of space, but we feel that only material bearing on the furtherance of the Gospel should be accepted for publication. Glad to see the an nouncement of the revived Sunday school convention to be held at Moody Church in Chicago, October 2-6. Have been enjoying the gracious ministry of Dr. Walter L. Wilson of Kansas City, Missouri. His Gospel presentation is unique. He employs the wonders of nature to illustrate the most profound doctrinal truths. Not only do his audiences listen raptly, but they remember his messages in full.
