,rw-r Two of the twelve Pruitt Bible classes Christian Service Council and National Presbyterian Mis- sions. Under this program, seminary students are placed in churches for a specified length of time, usually in the summer, where they can work under the guidance of an experienced pastor. Both the churches and the seminarians have enthusiastically received the idea of Pastoral Intern- ship. Among the Christian service projects carried over from last year were the Sunday afternoon children's classes at the Pruitt-Igoe Housing Development, the classes at the Annie Malone Chi1dren's Home on Saturday mornings, the ensembles and gospel teams which ministered in local churches, and the Children for Christ classes.

CHRISTIAN SERVICE COUNCIL The Christian Service Council has made many strides ahead this year, under the direction of Paul Emerson aes chairman and Mr. Buswell as faculty adviser. The tasks of the council are often tedious, detailed, and singularly unglamorous, but the rewards make the work well worth it. This year there have been many of the same jobs to do as before, but also a few new highlights. For example, the council arranged for the Reverend David Haas to conduct tive evening classes in teacher training in Februarv. In the seminary, several new activities have emerged this year. Gospel teams were organized and sent out, as well as supply preachers, to minister in many churches in the area. Most important, the Pastoral Internship program was organized under the dual directorship of the Covenant Teacher Training Class conducted by Mr. David Haas
