B y PAUL MILLER Conquest Editor

Who are we? Someone has tagged us “The Restless Ones.” Where are we? We live in your town—perhaps your home . . . go to your schools . . . attend your church . . . eat pizza in your teen hangout. What are we? So we’re called restless—that may be true. If we are, there must be reasons for it. Those who study teen-agers through a sociological micro­ scope say we’re restless because of world con­ ditions . . . the draft . . . space exploration . . . working mothers . . . mobile society . . . the spectre of world annihilation. What do we say? We want something significant to do. If we’re restless it’s because no one has really given us an opportunity to work out our energies—“to spend and be spent.” We don’t mean car washes or folding service bulletins or playing forward on the church basketball team. Our high school teachers stretch our minds and hearts with concepts as wide as the world and as minute as a split atom. We are challenged to take our place in this narrowing world com­ munity and through our influence engage in the struggle for peace. On Sunday we attend a Sunday school class, sit through two worship services, and participate in a Teen Fellowship program that asks no more of us than to be quiet and listen or read an essay cut from a program quarterly. We don’t want or need busy-work projects and

Jerry employed the zone framework already established, and selected pastors or laymen as zone chairmen (depending on who seemed most willing to get enthused and work). Neither the enthusiasm nor the effort came too hard after Oliver speeches. Frequent mailings from his office to pastors, personal calls to the slower ones, and more encouragement to the ones who were enthused was how he kept it going. The zone chairmen called personally in all or most of the churches for which they were re­ sponsible. All of this enthusiasm was pointing to awards created at the “kickoff” dinner in October, which would be presented in the December “victory” dinner. The awards ranged in categories from the first church on BIG PAYLOAD —Campaign Manager Jerry Oliver hands to Neva Deming, each zone to report going over its zone chairman, the “grand champion’’ trophy for leading the Jacksonville goal, to zones reaching 100 percent or Z o n e to 174 p erc en t o f its Herald of Holiness subscription goal.
