The Reverend Tom Watson Jr., of The Evangelical Alliance Mission, gave a series of messages on the Epistle to the Philippians for the annual Spiritual Life Emphasis Week in the early fall. Dr. Francis A. Schaeffer came from L'Abri Fellowship in Switzerland, to hold formal lectures, discussion groups, and private conferences on cam- pus for a week in Novemberg his 'stimulating ideas on contemporary philosophical thought, theology, and the arts left a deep impression on students and faculty. Shortly afterward, the Minor Prophets were expounded and made relevant to the Christian life today by Dr. Arthur F. Glasser, home director of the China Inland Mission.

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.

STUDENT MISSIONS FELLOWSHIP The purpose of Student Missions Fellowship this year has been to afford the students an oppor- tunity for intercessory prayer and to give them a missionary outlook. In order to fulfill the iirst of these goals, there have been six prayer groups--e Europe, Africa, the Far East, Islam, North Amer- ica, and South America-each meeting once a week for a half hour, and zt Missionary Minute in chapel every day. The Saturday evening meetings have been de- signed to give SMF members new insight into the call and service of missionaries. Special mission- ary speakers, panel discussions, and Elms were ar- ranged. As a part of this missionary outlook, an SMF project was initiated to raise 3500.00 for literature work in Peru. The money was used to publish the fifth primer in a series of seven which are being used to teach the Quechua Indians to read. In conjunction with the project, the annual SMF dinner was planned around a Latin Ameri- can theme. OFFICERS: President R. Lambert, J. Sin- gleton, H. Mischke, D. Mozes, J. Cox , Ki-
