and higher schools. It will be an invaluable aid to an adequate
educational and vocational guidance program, the selective re-
cruitment of potential professional workers in the Church, and the
training and use of consecrated lay leadership in all areas of
Christian service. We urge the establishment of such a bureau on
our campus, where much valuable experience in this area has
already been accumulated, and the appointment of a committee,
representing the Board for Parish Education, the Board for Higher
Education, and our faculty, to study this area. We also recom-
mend the allocation of sufficient funds to implement the work cf
this committee and to get the project under way.
