truly great The television program for
1961 has been highly successful and has
evoked great interest among those not
members of the Lord's church The pro-
gram for 1962 promises to reach even
greater heights in audience appeal and
in solid gospel teaching No. the pro-
gram is not going under—it's going over '
And for this very reason funds are
needed—urgently -
Appeals continue to come in asking
' for ^the program As a. door-opener in
hundreds of sections throughout the
country and abroad the program is with-
out parallel The Lord's church is more
widely known now than at any time in
this century In recent years a blank
look often resulted when mention was
made of the church of Christ Now how-
ever. in many places where the church
was unknown, mention of its name caus-
es eyes to light up with recognition This
is due in a great measure, we feel, .to

Bold, Successful
_ when two enthusias-
-1 began talking in terms of
nation-wide network program to be
supported by churches of Christ, their
proposal met with mixed reaction. Al-
most everyone was delighted with the
idea. Some were startled by the im-
mensity of the project. The thought of
reaching millions of souls with the pure
gospel of Christ was overpowering. .
„ Within a short time the entire broth-
erhood was talking about the “fantas-
tic” idea of such a gigantic task being
attempted by members of the Lord s
church It took more than talk. It took
hard unrelenting work — hours, days,
weeks and months of traveling and
