Wnrereas, The recruitment of young men for ministerial and
teaching positions in our Synod is made difficult in the Southeastern
area because of the distance to present synodical schools; and

Wuereas, The difficulty of recruitment could be alleviated if
the curriculum of our colleges would be adjusted to allow young
men to enter after their high school years without loss of time; be it

Resolved,

1. That the expansion of our Higher Education program give
favorable consideration to the establishment of a Junior College
in the Southeastern area of our country or provide preministerial
training on the college level; and

2. That consideration be given to the adjustment of the cur-
riculum of our schools to permit entrance after the high school
years. SouUTHEASTERN DISTRICT

From time to time, the Church Militant must take stock of her
resources in order that she may know how far and how fast to
extend the borders of Christ’s kingdom. But always we must first
count the blessings of God. These blessings were never more gen-
erous, it seems, than since the. close of World War I.
