Multiply this situation by many thousands, and you'll understand why a chronic shortage of trained clergymen is a serious threat to the na tion's religious life. America has such a shortage today. And it is getting pro gressively worse all the time. To serve an expanding pop ulation, America's churches need more ministers each year. Instead, they are getting fewer. The United Presbyterian Church now has about 800 congregations which are searching for pastors. But en rollment in its seminaries de clined this year by nearly 12 per cent. The Episcopal Church dis covered in a national survey five years ago that it was 806 clergymen short of its "mini mum" requirements. Since that time, its membership has increased 8 per cent-and sem inary enrollment has dropped 10 per cent. The Southern Baptist Con vention ordained nearly 2,000 new ministers in 1951. In 1959, with a far larger mem bership, it ordained only 840 During the past year, enroll ment in its seminaries de clined from 5,000 to 4,809. Need 1,200 Clergymen The Methodist Church needs 1,200 new clergymen annually just to replace those lost by death or retirement. To serve an expanding membership, it needs at least 2,000. Its sem inaries will turn out fewer than 700 this year. First Christian To Start Youth Week Sunday is the beginning of Youth Week.

Its seminaries are graduating about 150 a year. The membership of the Ro man Catholic Church has in creased by more than 40 per cent in the past 10 years, but the number of priests has grown by less than 20 per cent Similar figures could be cited for virtually every other major religious body in the nation. Different reasons have been advanced for the down trend in seminary enrollment. Some church leaders blame the per vasive materialism of Ameri can society, which, they say, causes young people to view a potential career primarily in terms of the financial rewards it offers. Underpaid Profession The ministry is unquestion ably an underpaid profession. But doctors are the most high ly-paid professional group in the nation, and there is also a shortage of medical stu dents. So it seems doubtful that today's youths are alto gether money-minded in their choice of a career. Another theory is that the ministry like the medical pro fession, is suffering from "image" trouble. Young peo ple don t know about the cler gyman's job to be attracted to it. They've heard about the low pay and long hours, and they may have an exaggerated notion of the limitations on a clergyman's private life. But they haven t been made aware of the opportunities for lead ership and service and the tremendous satisfactions that a good pastor finds in his work. Joyce Stockstlll, Jim Osborn and John Alansky.

PREACH THE WORD "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profit able for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of Dennis Moss minister 10:17). Christ warned, ". . . If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book; and if any man shall take away from the words of the bock of this prophecy, God shall take away his part of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book" (Revelation 22:18-19). Peter warned, "If any man speak, let him speak as the or acles of God . . ." (I Peter 4:11). Paul warned, "But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we HAVE preached unto you, let him be accursed" (Galatians 1 : 8 . John warned, "If there come any unto vou, and bring not THIS doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed." (2 John 10). We should preach God's word ONLY for: (1) God command ed It. (2) Saving faith depends upon hearing it. (3) Obedience to IT purifies and saves (I Peter 1:22-23, James 1:21). U) We shall be judged by IT (John 12:48, Revelation 20:12). (5) The faithful preacher of IT shall be saved (1 Corinthians 3h (6) The unfaith ful preacher shall be eternally lost (Revelation 20:12-15). To Israel's preachers God said, "The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell his dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word FAITHFULLY" (Jeremiah 23 28K This message is supported by Christians seeking the unity of believers in the nondenominationil CHURCH OF CHRIST Tune in "HERALD OF TRUTH" Coast-to-Coast ABC Mutual MEDFORD heavens, the work of CHURCH OP JKSUS CHRIST OP LATTER DAY SAINTS (1st Ward) 648 South Ivy st.

Moses instructed Israel while he was yet alive that God's law to Israel was to pass away. All men would have to take in structions from another (Deut. 18:18-19). We are informed in Acts 3:22-23 that Christ was that prophet. The law of love tbat we have in Christ does have the promise of eternal life in Jn. 3:16 and it will abide forever. Matt. 24:35. Moses work began in Egypt while Israel was yet in slavery there. He did a great work in Egypt in preparing for the deliverance of Israel from their bondage. He led them from Egypt and across the Red Sea. We learn through Moses that God had never given man a day in which to worship. They now have a reason for worship after their deliverance from Egypt, Deu't. 5:1,6. God gave them the Sabbath day as a day of Rest and remembrance.
