in our era of two-parent careers or of single par-
ents attempting to work and care for their fami-
ly at the same time.
Solutions are diverse and not many appear
to adequately solve the problem. The Currents
Page deals with this dilemma and offers some
helpful pointers for struggling parents of chil-
dren at loose ends after school or on Saturdays.
The Spectrum column presents the current
list of Crown and Lamplighter Awards for exce-
lence in children's literature. Administrators at
Brentwood Christian School, Austin, Texas,
direct this competition as a means of acknow-
ledging quality children’s books that teach spir-
itual values.
We received a letter from a reader who was
appalled at our use of the expression, “Jim
Moffett, pulpit minister for the Raleigh church,
Memphis, for nearly 45 years, has decided to
hang up his Bible, so to speak” (February issue,
P. 3). This was figurative language, meaning
only that he was retiring from full-time preach-
ing. It was not meant in any way to belittle him.
In fact, his picture and the accompanying para-
graph were intended to honor him. Our apolo-
gies for this misunderstanding.
For 35 years the annual Pan American Lec-
tureship has moved from city to city in Latin
America. In the process, hundreds of Christians
from the States have expanded their vision and
developed a keen interest in the Lord’s mission
in Central and South America. Now, for the first
time, a like lectureship will be conducted in
Europe. The first site is Rome, Italy, and the
dates are July 31 to Aug. 7. Contact Jim Frazier
at 1 (800) 533-7660 for details.

VALDOSTA, GEORGIA
Floyd Rose, minister and
enterprenuer, has retired
wealthy after decades of
financial misery. He has
written two tapes on getting
out of debt. He says, "There
are no short cuts ... If you
want to get out of debt, try God’s way.”
These tapes are available through Save Our
Children, Inc. Phone: (912) 241-0705.
Hayes chosen Practicioner
SULPHUR SPRINGS. TEXAS
Dr. Hank Hayes, Sulphur Springs, was
chosen Food Animal Practitioner of the Year
for the State of Texas by the Texas Veterinary
Medical Association.
'W'W 'There in
the world
▼ ▼ are we
going? This is a
question that haunts
us in many realms
— moral, ethical,
social, political,
religious. It has
become a godless
world in many
ways, and we are
perplexed by it.
One reason why
it is godless is that
we who know the
Word of God and
his mandate have
been slow to share Christ with other peoples,
even in our own country.
There may be many reasons for our relative
ethnocentrism in evangelism. Whatever they
are, surely they are nothing but feeble excuses
in our Lord’s sight.
We here at The Christian Chronicle are con-
cerned over the evangelization of the entire
world. To that end, we dedicate the Center-
spread in this issue to a look at where we have
been, where we are and where we need to be in
the world. There may be some slight inaccura-
cies, even though we attempted to make the
information as current as possible.
The list of unreached nations could have
been extended to include those in which we
have only a minimal presence. However, space
does not permit a more extensive study. Take a
close look at the article and accompanying
graphs, praying with us that God will raise up
people and churches to enter all unreached or
inadequately reached countries.
The topic of Latch-Key Kids is all-pervasive
