PRACTICAL CHRISTIAN WORK Classroom Theory Becomes Practical Practical Christian Work assignments are an important aid to the spiritual growth of the individual student. Mr. C. Sumner Wemp, Director of the Practical Christian Work Department, stated that the assignments enable the stu- dents to prepare for Christian service “‘through challenge, through experience, and through seeing classroom theory work in the lives of people.”’ The average student spent seven hours on his assign- ments weekly. The women participated in such activities as Sunday. School teaching, Child Evangelism and Release Time classes. The men had many opportunities to preach in missions and in churches under the supervision of local min- isters. Students were encouraged to fit their assignments to future plans. Mr. Wemp and his assistants Miss Helen Rentschler, Miss June Montague and Mr. John Tahlendeavored to impress upon students the fact that the Practical Christian Work assignments were not simply practice but actual serv- ice in the Lord’s work. Marilou Hage questions Miss Rentschler about receiving a special assignment. At Harbor Light Mission Horace Daniels takes his turn at leading the singing. One of PCW’s quartets discovers that practice makes perfect.

MISSIONARY UNION EXECUTIVES M.U. Links Students With Missions Missionary Union is one of the most extensive organiza- tions at Moody Bible Institute. Prayer Focus, Friday Night Focus, Student Missionary Teams and financial projects offered students the opportunity to be informed and become involved in missions. The M.U. executives chose ‘‘To know Christ and to make Him known”’ as their theme. These same leaders se- lected the goal of presenting a contemporary portrait of missions, so that the students would be better prepared to face the world with the Gospel. They emphasized new meth- ods of evangelism and the student’s responsibility in home missions. Missionary Union also initiated a “‘song of the month.” The hymn or song selected was used for an entire month in the M. U. assemblies and Focuses. The student body, rather than the M.U. executive com- mittee, decided on this year’s project. They voted on aiding a Chilean camp. Several new methods, suchas ‘‘Dollar Day” and “Stocking Day,”’ were employed for the collec- tions.
