A BIBLE AND PHILOSOPHY A Workman . . . Not Ashamed Too many graduates of Christian schools receive their sheepskins only to have the wool pulled over their eyes after they leave. That is the condition which VVheaton theologues and pbilosoploes must prevent, consequently they have undertaken the simultaneous task of explaining the Christian position and refuting objections directed ,LA against Scripture by the secular world. To train a stu- dent in this regard requires four years of patient, per- sistent labor by both student and teacher. The man in the pew, however, is not primarily interested in subtleties of epistemological discourse. Lost in the labyrinthine maze of metaphysics, he may consider doctrine or philosophy as merely the art of explaining something everyone knows in terms that no one understands. He cares not a fig for aphorisms A f MERRILL C. TENNEY. Ph.D.. Chairman of the Divi- sion of Biblical Education and Apologetics. or syllogisms, his chief concern is, rather, VVhat is the Christian position as expressed in everyday terms, and how does it relate to practical living? These are some of the questions that this department attempts to meet. Carl Armerding. A.B.. D.D. KENNETH S. KANTZER, Ph.D.. Acting Chairman of the Department of Bible and Philosophy. Steven Barabas.

LOIS E. LE BAR. A.M., Acting Chairman oi the Depart- ment of Christian Education. Page 26 CHRISTIAN EDUCATION E. Myers Harrison. Ph.D Too Precious To Neglect Shimmering heat waves danced across the desert sands, transforming the distant horizon to a watery brown gela- tin. Inside a small, mud hut, shaded from the scorching sun, a group of wide-eyed native children were learning to sing jesus Loves Me in their own tongue. A young lady was carefully explaining this simple truth to the eager youngsters. Little had she realized some ten years ago, while studying at Wheaton, the uni- versal practicality of Christian education. She was using the same principles here as were her fellow workers in the churches and Sunday Schools back home. She was deeply grateful for her training, for she knew that Christianity- in Wisconsin or West Africa - offers a salvation too im- portant to withhold from people too precious to neglect.
