they selected about 350 for Pul-
lias’ illustrated lecture, “Far-
Horizons,” which was given for
the first time as a Lipscomb
Artist Series program in Oc-
tober, 1959.
By October 1, 1960 the lec-
ture had been given 24 times.
It is customary at each pres-
entation to give those attend-
ing an opportunity to make
voluntary donations to Chris-
tian education at Lipscomb, and
the College has already re-
ceived more than $20,000 from
grateful persons who have en-
joyed the lecture.
Invitations have bden re-
ceived to present the lecture
in a large number of other
communities, and as his busy
schedule permits, Pullias is
trying to accommodate all re-
quests. Eiders of congregations

Swaziland In South Africa
Might Be Site For New School
By Al Horne
MBEYA, Tanganyika (CNS) —With much of Africia plunged !
into a chaotic state of affairs, there are few countries where
men of different races enjoy peaceful co-existence. There is
unrest in South Africa, riots in the Rhodesias, and cold war
gripping the world as a result of the Congolese situation Much
of the attention of the world is focused on the distressing con-
ditions in so many parts of the "black continent", that’ small
peaceful and peace-loving countries are largely overlooked and
forgotten about either partially or completely. Such a relatively
insignificant country is Swaziland!
SWAZILAND combines the gentle pastoral scenery of green
hills dotted with grazing cattle and sheep with an exceptionally
colorful native population In the higher mountain ranges of this
southern Switzerland, pine-clad atopes sweep up to meet banks
of billowy clouds, and swift-flowing trout streams cascade down
to meet the rivers of the well-watered country This country
with its extensive grass plains, is the winter grazing ground for
thousands of sheep from the Transvaal and every year Boer
ranchers drive th^ir flocks over the mountain passes and down
into the verdant valley of this little native kingdom.
THE SWAZIS are not energetic people, but they pride them-
selves on their peaceable relations

King Sobhuza III has always been pro white. In a recent
speech in Johannesburg he stated that the last thing Swaziland
wanted was for the white people to leave. There is a strong
political motivation for this: Swaziland is a British protectorate
and as such owes its virtual independence to Britain The
moment the British withdraw the country will be swallowed up
by South Africa with its harsh segregation laws.
ANOTHER FACTOR which is conducive to good race re-
lations, is that each race has its own government. The white
| people have a council under a British governor, and the natives
