Lipscomb Lectures, invited those
present to pick up forms for
reserving their rooms on campus
for the 1975 Summer Lecture
Series, June 15-18. Miss Ruth
Gleaves, lectureship hostess, will
accept requests for the free
dormitory space by April 15,
1975.
..Dr. J.P. Sanders is the new
president of Columbia Christian
College. Inauguration was May
24th. Dr. Norvel Young, Chan-
cellor of Pepperdine University,
gave the inaugural speech. A
large gathering consisting of
faculty, students, board mem-
bers, and representatives of the
business community witnessed

God,” he said,
“The true Christian surrenders
everything he has to God,” he
said, “realizing that he is never
more than a tenant on earth-a
tenant with no term of tenacy.
At any moment, without notice,
he can be called upon to sur-
render all that he has and give
an account of his stewardship to
God.”
Nowhere in the Bible,
continued, is it taught that
wealth in itself is wrong, Wealth
is power, power that may be
used for good or evil.
“It’s wrong to trust in riches,
but the possession of wealth can
be an opportunity to do great
good. If A. M. oiu Gale
chairman emeritus of Lipscomb’s
Board of Directors), had never
given anything away he could
have left over !100 million when
he died.
“Of course, this school would
have been several million dollars
poorer, and you and I would not
be here today. He used his
wealth for the glory of God and
the good of humanity.
“If I am a Christian, no
amount of doing good gives me a
license to do wrong with any
part of what I have. Everything
I have and all that I am-my
soul, my mind, my influence,
and my talents-must be used for
the glory of God and the good of
humanity.”

Voss. Long before the finished
parcels were distributed, fruit
and boxes were ordeded. police-
men's addresses were obtained,
color-coded maps were made,
the boxes were packed, Christ-
mas cards were made and driv-
ers for the deliveries were en-
listed.
Although the project is now
history, cards, letters and per-
sonal phone calls to express
thanks continue to come in. Here
are a few quotes representative
to the many wonderful responses
already received.
“I have been a police officer
for 9 years and during those
years I can’t recall a gesture of
friendship any more thoughtful
than this.”
“I knew that there were many
..The elders of the Hillcrest
church of Christ in Arilington,
Texas, the overseers of the
World Bible Translation Center,
announce their plans to translate
the New Testament into Telegu.
Telegu is the language of 50
million people in southeastern
India. The vast number of
Telegu speakers with the great
opportunity for evangelism
makes it imperative that there
be a good, usable Telegu trans-
lation of the scriptures. There
are two existing Telegu trans-
lations of the Bible. One was
done in 1904 and revised in 1911.
The other was published in 1966.
Objective testing of the trans-
lations indicates significant
weaknesses in doctrine and
communicative ability.
Therefore, the decision was
made to produce a new trans-
lation that is both according to
the original text and in the
conversational language of the
people.
The Karns Church of Christ in
Knoxville, Tennessee is seeking
to raise the necessary funds for
this translation. Sister congre-
gations are asked to assist in
making possible a Bible for the
Telegu people. Funds are needed
to provide for translation ex-
pense over the next three years.

cerning the Telegu Bible or other
efforts of WBTC please write:

Christ, 1401 Hillcrest Drive, Ar-
lington, Texas 76010.
young people who were striving
to be well pleasing to the Lord,
but you sure brought that fact
home to me in a manner that
will be long remembered, long
after the gift is gone. I still
haven’t gotten over the shock of
the unexpected generosity which
you have displayed.”
The Amarillo Globe News feat-
ured a story of this unique
benevolent activity included the
following comment: “Policemen
who may have had visions of
sugar plums dancing in their
heads were happy to settle for
apples, pears, grapefruit, oran-
ges, bananas and a Christmas
card, courtesy of the young
people of the Central Church of
Christ.”
Youth Give To Policemen
AMARILLO, TEXAS-Christmas
1973 brought an unexpected sur-
prise to many of the police
officers in Amarillo as they were
greeted by teens from Central
Church of Christ, “.
We would like to give you this b
ox of fruit as a token of our
appreciation for the fine job we
feel you have been doing for our
community”.
One hundred and eighty-eight
of these boxes, packed with
apples, oranges, grapefruits, ba-
nanas, pears and a Christmas
card, were delivered to the
uniformed police officers over a
period of two days. Delivery of
the boxes, however, was pre-
ceded by weeks of planning and
preparation by the young people
and their youth director, James

..The greatest problem in the
world today is “getting along,”
Ira L. North told a capacity
audience in the closing session of
David Lipscomb College’s 27th
Annual Summer Lecture Series,
June 9-12.
Theme of the lectureship,
which drew approximatley 1500
men, women, teenagers and
children from 23 states and 198
cities and towns, was “God’s
Plan for Me.” North’s subject
was “God’s Plan in Practicing
Love.”
The minister of Madison Chu-
rch of Christ and conductor of
“The Amazing Grace Bible
Class” televised nationally, said
churches do a ‘beautiful job of
praching the love of God, but
they are not doing so well in
practce. The greatest proble, we
have in the home and in the
church, is getting along. The
saddest thing on earth is a
church fuss or a split home, and
prevention of such tragedy is
found in the practice of true,
genuine, Biblical love.”
At the closing chapel meeting
of the lectureship, President
Athens Clay Pullias ofLipscomb
spoke on “Christian Steward-
ship.”
“The true Christian surrenders
everything he has to God,” he
said, “realizing that he is neve
more than a tenant on earth--a
tenant with to term of tenancy.
At any moment, without notice,
he can be called upon to sur-
renders everything he has to
