| n a r e c e n t number o f the Research Institute Recommenda tions, the entire issue was given over to a discussion o f this question. Over one thousand o f the most prominent business executives o f the country were polled, o f whom at least 63% view "moral and spiritual decline” as one o f the greatest threats to the American way o f life. Several discerning comments in clude the following: "Work, honesty, integrity are becoming dirty words, not just among young people but among adult workers as well” ; “ The rewards o f work, such as money, per sonal satisfaction, are scorned as outmoded. They are called 'square.’ They do not motivate anyone today” ; "Traditions, like duty, law, patriotism, provoke derision. Young people care about only what they can get, not what they owe.” The article quotes these words from a recent Life editorial: "It may still be true that any boy who really wants to can grow up to become presi dent o f the United States, but not many o f today’s most talented boys seems to want to be President o f the United States, or for that matter, President o f U.S. Steel or the United Stove Works. Aspiring to that sort o f leadership, that is, the control and man agement o f industry and government, is decidedly unfashionable on our campuses today. Business as a career is anathema to most average and above-average members o f the class o f 1966.” The author correctly states that there are infinitely more wholesome young people in our country today than there are those who belong to the "beatnik” class. He lays part o f the blame for the unfortunate conditions, which we find in all too many areas, upon business and especially the advertising phase o f various business concerns. Where today the appeal is made for young people to get out on their own, they are urged to "come alive,” to break away from all restraining influences o f home and church, assert themselves and go "where the action is.” This editor respectfully suggests, however, that there is a far deeper reason for the alarming proportions to which this situa tion has developed. The cause is a spiritual one. The sad fact is that the great denominations in large measure have omitted en-

Have you ever wondered what you could do for God from the age of 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 or even 60? Did you know that God could still use you as a pastor, evangelist, missionary or Bible Teacher? Did you know that there is a Bible In stitute in Castile, New York founded pur posely for these middle or later age groups? Well there is and it is 25 years old and has *203 graduates serving Christ on 100 fields of service here in America and on a good many foreign fields. The proof that these middle age or older married couples can serve the Saviour is to be found in the fact that our graduates, now on these fields, have been accepted by some ten well known faith missions and they are now doing exploits for Christ. They are on such foreign fields as Ger many, Italy, Nigeria, Central Africa Re public, Jungles of Brazil, Panama, Mexico, New Guinea as well as in dozens of states here in the U.S.A. Families with children accepted. Actually one of the church's greatest po tentials for Christ's service is to be found in these dedicated married couples when they are thoroughly Bible trained. The nec essary thing is to “ Step Out By Faith.” WHEN MAN IS WILLING — GOD IS ABLE. If you mean business with God, write: Rev. Donald M. Perkins, Sr., Box 415, 17 South Main Stret, Castile, New York 14427.
