It looks as though we were faced with a similar con­ dition today. Already the freeze has started. Rubber, tin, copper and wages have been put under government regulations. Steel has been cut and the future only holds the secret as to what else will come under government control. Paper is getting scarce. It also is expen­ sive. This is one commodity that Seventh- day Adventists need as much as any other material item in all the world. The message of truth has found its way into more homes by the use of the press than any other meth­ od. If the use of the press were denied us, just think of the gigantic task that would face us in the finishing of this work. “ In a large degree through our publish­ ing houses is to be accomplished the work of that other angel who comes from Heaven with great power, and who lightens the earth ELDER H.

Miss B a r b a r a P o p p will go to the Paris Youth’s Congress next July. The college faculty named this junior French major from Illinois to represent E M C ’s students at the coming world-wide gathering of Missionary Volunteers. The choice was made, says D r. P. W . Christian, college president, on the ba- s i s o f scholarship, leadership, future promise, and past ex­ perience in the share- your-jaith movement.

And this is only one of numerous facts indi­ cating effectiveness of student summer activities. A n $18,000 gain in the sale of Christian literature in the Lake Union conference during 1950 can be credited largely to the work of student colpor­ teurs. There were 82 student scholarships earned in this union during the summer of 1950. These facts came to light during a chapel program January 31 when R. G. Campbell, Publishing secretary of the Lake Union conference, and three of his local conference secretaries spoke. Elder Campbell indicated that Bob Ham m ond will be leader of the student colporteur band in preparation for the coming sea­ son’s work. Dr. Evans Speaks W hen he “ became a man” the apostle Paul “ put away childish things” pointed out D r.
