BIBER. AND) PHILOSOPHY Details to Concepts Some truths, the paradoxical truths of God, meet finally at a point beyond man’s reason. But Bible and philosophy majors at Wheaton College find para- dox no substitute for hard work as they seek to understand in the light of God’s Word. From the great maze of detail in freshman Bible to the philo- sophical concepts of the senior apologetics, the Wheaton student is taught to think through his be- liefs. The meaning that philosophy can give to the Chris- tian’s appreciation and understanding of his faith is surpassed only by the meaning Christianity gives to philosophy. Yet the Christian student need not limit the depth and breadth of this interest to church philosophers. He may venture toward a synthesis of classical problems and current ideas. In the meet- ing of Christianity and philosophy important ques- tions are pursued to their true answers. Merrill C.

CHRISTIAN EDUC ATION Practical Idealists This is a department of practical idealists. They look at people and see their needs—then they attempt to set goals that will meet these needs. They learn the characteristics of a “typical” six-year-old, yet they plan to meet all the emergencies and exceptions that would be found in a Sunday School class of these individual six-year-olds. Charts and more charts—for their files. These they will interpret into pupil-centered programs and interest-compelling methods. Hard working student teacher spends twelve hours on a program for her class on Thursday and may not even use it because Johnny's comment on his new baby sister leads the whole class into a retelling of the Baby Moses story. Dedicated teachers, thought provoking devotions, and absorbing projects are all rolled into one depart- ment of practical idealists. Vivienne Blomquist, A.M.
