Matthews says the kids' program will reflect a philosophy of positive life-style. GIVE KIDS A CHANCE TO MEET JESUS "When you realize that most people who ever become Christians actually accept Christ before they're 12 years old, then it becomes important that we minister specifically to children," says Matthews. "Television makes it possible for us to meet them right where they spend a lot of time." And he adds, "Too much of what they see on TV isn't all that beneficial." As a step to get the children's ministry started, last October sample copies of Bodywise, a health magazine for children, were mailed to all of Faith For Today's donors. Adults were asked to sponsor the magazine for the children they know. During the current annual offering campaign that offer was extended to every Seventh-day Adventist who receives a union paper. Another part of Faith For Today's new children's ministry is a set of three Bible games called Project: ORION Kit. These were first made available through selected Vacation Bible Schools last summer. To date more than 2,000 children have received ORION kits from Faith For Today.

None of the committees was able to finish the work assigned to it in the time span of December 11 through 13. Here are the pertinent recommendations made by the Education Comittee: Whereas the educational program of the church is in a critical state due to declin- ing enrollment and weak finances, and whereas there exist different perceptions as to what Christian education is and its importance to the Seventh-day Advent- ist Church, and whereas these situations and dichotomy threaten the very ex- istence of the Seventh-day Adventist educational system, Voted that the subcommittee on Education propose to the Atlantic Union Conference Committee that each conference conduct a "Crisis in Members of the subcommittee on education and invited guests shown seated left to Education" Workers' retreat to in- right.

Elder Earl W. Amundson, our Union Conference President, gives strong emphasis to Christian education. All members are encouraged to pray for our young people and their teachers so the work of the church may grow steadily and remarkably. Dr. Geraldine I. Grout again shares in this issue the thoughts, comments, and aspirations of some of our young people concerning Christian education. LHD

Where is it possible to receive a greater reward for our prayers and care than from seeing our boys and girls grow to be Christlike and useful in life. I am not necessarily thinking especially of taking their places in the organ- ized work of our denomination, but to be God's ambassadors wherever they live, work, or worship. How grateful we can be for Christian education and Christian teachers who, in cooperation with parents, dedicate their lives to helping your young people find their way through life. Here are more comments and thoughts from your boys and girls con- cerning how they view and consider the place that Christian education has in their lives.

"I have had a Christian education all my life. I like the Christian school because I am in a better at- mosphere. I have never been to a public school, but I have heard many things about it. In a Christian school, I know that an advantage is a class in Bible. When I know more about the Bible, I feel better because I know something that I can tell to a person who doesn't know.
