Speaking en the Youth Conference theme — "His Way;—Mine!",
Dr. Frei L. Fisher of the Golden
Gate Seminary brought a most inspiring message at the second annual
meeting  in  Long  Beach.
Later on, W. C. Harrell led a panel
discussion on Personal Problems of
Youth. Audience participation was
encouraged through written questions handed to the ushers. The
panel was composed of Dr. Loyed
R. Simmons, Gregory Walcott, Dr.
Richard Poss, Miss Josephine Pile,
Mrs. Joseph Daniel, and Miss Beverly  DeWitt.
I had been aware that teenagers
and ycung people had problems, but
the caliber of the questions turned
in literally left me speechless. The
depth and seriousness of the problems turned in actually opened mv
eyes. In the following paragraph I
will quote a few.
These questions have not been
changed or re-worded. "How can a
young saved person bring their
parents, who are not saved to know
the Jesus?" "Why do older people
call us 'care-free?' We have our problems too." "Should a Christian mother force her child to become Christian?" "What can we, as young people, do about the narcotics problems?" "Someone has surrendered to
preach, he has been licensed for two
years, and is now in college studying. The girl he dates is a fine Christian girl but is of a different denomination. What should he do?"
"Why don't parents understand
them?" "What should a person in a
non-religious and Christian family
do?"
The questions were numerous concerning smoking, dancing, dating,
and mixed marriages.
What can we do for the youth of
today? Think about it. Every one of
those questions quoted above stems
from a problem in family life. If we
lay down on the job nothing will be
done. But if, with God's guidance
and leadership, we study and prepare
ourselves, we wi',1 have opportunities
in future places of responsibility to
help young people find answers to
these problems.

ncfiMfurcsfes Lecture
eries
Judge J. S. Bracewell, a Houston,
Texas attorney, presented a series of
lectures on the relations of church
and state on our campus February
15th to the 17th.
The second lecture, on Tuesday,
was open to the public. This series
of lectures is to be an annual affair
and known as the Bracewell Lectures.
Judge Bracewell said that he would
be available next year.
The Broadway Plan of Church
Finance, which has been used in
Texas and California, as well as other
states, was originated by Judge Brace-
well. He also has loaned money to
beginning churches, and he and his
wife and sons gave $10,000 in 1958
and $1,000 this year to the Annie
Gabriel Library.
Mrs. Bracewell accompanied her
husband on this trip to California.
They attended the State Sunday
School Convention in Long Beach
before coming to CBC.
and drunkeness, not in clambering and wantoness,
not in strife and envying. But put
ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and
make not provision for the flesh to
fulfil the lusts thereof." (Romans 13:
11-14).
What does the Lord Jesus Christ
really mean to us? The day or night
that we accepted Him, He was our
Redeemer, Savior, and Friend. God's
love so engulfed us that Jesus was
Everything, our all in all. But
through the years, the months, day
by day, and even hour by hour,
what has Christ come to mean to
us — right now?
Someone has said, "When Jesus
was here, Ke said to His disciples,
'Follow Me,' and the rest of us have
been sitting around ever since discussing what He meant." It is time
for us to realize that Christ is alive
and s-eaks to us even as to His disciples.
If Christ is to become alive and
real we must say, "Lord Jesus, here
is my life, do as you please with me."
The Holy Spirit takes over from
there to teach us all things. He gives
life and quickens the soul. If there
will be anything worthwhile in our
lives, it will be when God's Soirit
leads us. It is then and only then
that we are
"In Quest of the Best."
