By Bob Wear
Chronicle Staff Writer,
In our heterogeneous society, with so many people
who differ in cultural background, ancestral back-
ground, religious views, and political concepts, there
are many possibilities for the development of hate. It
is important to our well-being that we maintain an
awareness of such possibilities and the dangers they
pose.

was no exception to the rule. But per-
* sons who attend invariably told this one
intriguing story:
On Tuesday, April 2, President Otis
Gatewood addressed guests and stu-
dents at the chapel hour on “The Stu-
dent World and the Unfinished Task.”
- At the rear of the auditorium was a j
display of 69 countries with popula- 1
tions between 1 million and 7 million
each which have no full-time American
missionaries working there. - «
.....-......... ‘dml
President Gatewood urged his lis- O
teners to commit themselves to either
go themselves or agree to work to send H
someone else to one of .these unevan- S
gelized areas. ■
As a result 119 students, faculty H
members and workshop guests filed to M
the rear of the auditorium and signed H
their names to placards of 41 of the 69 H
countries! H
Another giant step forward! (L.C.) H|

In 1955 when a dedicated group of
men began the work of Gospel Press
with the intent of operating a non-profit
foundation devoted to the distribution
of messages about the church in
national magazines, they had a great
vision and purpose.
But it is doubtful that those men
realized the great good or results that
could come from the effort. Today,
after seven years have passed, the work
continues—and so do the results!
Just recently, for instance, the
Gospel Press office in Dallas received
two requests for information by way
of coupons clipped from the January,
1956, Coronet magazine. Imagine!
Seven full years later the message in
that magazine still reached someone!
And there have been many messages
in between and in many other
magazines.
Another letter received recently was
from a Methodist preacher in Arizona
had this interesting and heart-warming
statement in it:
“The writer would be decidedly in-
terested in all information pertaining
to the organization of a church in this
area of the nature of your non-denom-
inational structure.
“I have felt for some time that tjie
Methodist Church Is decidedly soft con-
cerning Communism and having travel-
ed very considerably I know at first
hand the potential danger facing the
Christian Church and this Nation. I
would like to be in a position to do
all that I could to awaken more people
to the menace that must be met before
it is forever too late.”
The office of the Gospel Press re-
ceives many thousands of letters over
the months, many from foreign lands,
as a result of the ads placed in national
periodicals. Countless persons hay?
been converted through this work (L.C.)

Michigan Christian College, estab-

become recognized in brotherhood
circles as an emphasizer of mission
~ work. ■
Many of its teachers have been
and are some of the more successful
foreign missionaries we have had work-
ing for us. Already many students and
ex-faculty members have gone into new
fields because of inspiration gained
from activity and study at the small,
growing junior college.
Indicative of this spirit have been
the World Evangelism Workshops held
on the campus the past four years.
• Each year this has been the highlight <rf
the year for persons in the church vital-
ly interested in sending the gospel
around the world.
is no reason for us to give
way to hate. Moat of our con-
flicts can be reconciled by hon-
orable compromise which cornea
from open and free discussions
of pressing issues.
When compromise is impos-
sible, we can surely admit our
differences, and freely grant
to each other the right to be dif-
ferent. AU of this can and must
be done without hate.
All of us should be guided by
the Divine injunction, "So what-
ever you wish thafwnen would
do to you, do ao to them.” This
is much belter than allowing
hate to control us and, in time,
destroy us. When we permit
our differences and our pref-
erences to lead to hate, every-
body loses.
The history of human affaire
in which the emotion of bate
was the predominant force is
bloody and gloomy. Hate moti-
vates people to the wrong kind
of behaviour. It has no respect
for person, character, property,
