Rare Book of 17th Century Displayed
In California Baptist College Library
A rare, old book probably dating back to the  Seventeenth
Century is on display in the California Baptist College Library.
This book was found in the walls of a very old house in Maine.
It has a name and the date of 1785, but its spelling is that of early
King James version of the Bible which was published in 1620 and
it is a religious history of great interest.
The author is very pointed in his
criticism of Catholicism and exhorts his readers to follow the Bible alone when religious teachings
contradict the teachings of the
Bible.
"We are privileged to display this
rare item through the corutesy of
Bill Ryan, one of the students at
California Baptist College," comments  Mrs.  Brown,  Librarian.
It is believed that this book
would be of great interest to all
of the students at CBC and that all
students should see it while it is
on display here.

Cyniftiins Gives Stress
To MWftmy Chaplaincy
"To see the depth and breadth
of the chaplaincy," was the center
of the talk given by George Cummins, member of the Home Mission
Board in the division of chaplains,
who spoke to a group of Ministerial Alliance students, at California
Baptist College Tuesday, February
24.
It was pointed out by Mr. Cummins that to be a chaplain in the
Armed Forces takes 120 hours of
college credits plus 90 theological
hours. There is also a requirement
of either four years part time pastorate or two years full time pastorate.
There was an emphasis given to
the fact that the 400 Baptist chaplains baptized as many new converts as one state convention of
2100 churches and 15C0 ministers.
Not only does the~chaplaincy include the military service but it also includes hospitals, mental institutions, and penal institutions.
One important thing about the
chaplaincy was the fact, as given
by Mr. Cummins, that a person has
to be called of God into this type of
service.
Also visiting with him was Staff
Chaplain Pennington of March Air
Force Base.

STUDENTS EXCUSED FOR
High School Senior Day
Dean Lowe, student body president, has brought to attention that
in the forthcoming High School
Senior Day, it should be noted
that any senior in any high school
in California may be excused from
school on the day that the school
of his or her choice holds its senior
day.
Some people have felt that having senior day on a Friday is not
a good idea but this special note
will help clear up matters.
If you know someone that is interested in senior day at CBC,
please pass this information on to
them so they can see their school
counselors about it.
