The faculty has grown from 9 the first year to 27
dedicated, sacrificing Christians in this, the third year.
An outstanding Christian servant, Thomas Warren,
heads the staff. There are now four permanent brick
buildings and four frame buildings on the campus.
THIS ENCOURAGING BEGINNING is indicative
of the tremendous possibilities which the school has in
the future. These possibilities can be seen from a con-
sideration of the population. The campus is located in a
city which has a population of 580,000 The neighboring
city of Dallas has a population approaching 1,000,000.
The nine-county trading area of metropolitan Dallas-
Fort Worth is now near to 2,000,000. In this metropoli-
tan area there are some 222 congregations of the church
Certainly, this population affords a wonderful opportun-
ity for meeting the ever-present need of teaching our
youth how to live as well as how to make a living.
PLANS ARE NOW UNDERWAY for the building of
two more permanent buildings on the campus, a multi-
purpose administration-classroom building and a gym-
nasium. As is the case in all our Christian schools the
tuition and fees alone are not enough to meet the oper-
ating expenses of the school and pay for the erection of
new buildings. Fort Worth Christian School needs your
prayers and your gifts in order for these buildings to
become a reality.
You ask, “But why should we be called upon con-
stantly to help some effort?” There is another lesson we
need to learn. Not only are great works built upon
dreams and visions, but every effort that is worth-
while has and will come at the price of sacrifice and
dedication to the cause.

An Influence That
Will Never Die
"YOUR OLD MEN SHALL DREAM dreams; your
r ’ young men shall see visions.” Has it ever dawned on
you that every effort of worth must be built upon
dreams and visions?^
The establishment of a Christian college in the Fort
Worth-Dallas area was the realization of dreams and
plans that many Christians had had for years, and the
phenomenal progress that the school has made has
come about through the hard work and sacrifice of
many Christians.
FORT WORTH CHRISTIAN SCHOOL opened in
September of 1958 with 222 students enrolled in grades
one through eight. In September, 1959, the enrollment
was 294, with 40 being college students taking work at
night. Currently, there are 444 enrolled with 67 of that
number being college students.

Franklin Catholic School
Asks For Federal Aid
By Hugh Boydston
I Franklin, La.
THE TITLE OF THIS ARTICLE is the headline on page
one of an article we think the entire brotherhood ought to con-
sider. Catholicism has been accused of many things when per-
haps it has not been guilty bot of this official act of their
schools here in Franklin. Ixxuisiana, there can be no doubt
THE ARTICLE READS THUS:
“Pupils of Hanson Memorial High School returned home
Monday afternoon with fo< m letters for consideration of their
parents addressed to members of the Louisiana Congressional
Delegation asking for Federal Aid to parochial schools.
“Each child was provided with two samples One asked
congressmen to vote against Federa^ Aid only tn tax supported
schools. but for Federal aid to all school children.
“We urge you to promote the civil rights of individuals as
was done in the Gl Bill of Kights, and tn oppose all forms of
education-aid that treats millions of patriotic Americans as
second class citizens, the letter said . . .”
THE CATHOLIC POSITION is that they pay taxes the san*
as others to support public s*-hools and then have to pay for
their own schools and therefore an unfair burden is placed upon
them.
We realize that this is burdensome but it is a self imposed
burden.
Baptists. Methodists and other protestants do not impott
such burdens upon themselves. They send theiir children to the
public schools and the children grow up to be good Amencan*
and usually about as faithful adherents to their I-.....
as their parents are
THERE ARE CERTAIN ADVANTAGES in the propagate*
YOU SAY, ‘‘They don’t need my support. My gift
would be small. ’ They are, of course, interested in
large contributions, and they must have some in order
to build the school; however, hundreds of people pledg-
contributing reg-
Christian college
ing a small amount each month and
larly can give greater strength to a
than just one large contribution.
WHEN WE BUILD FACILITIES for the Christian
education of our youth, we are not merely laying stone
upon stone and erecting physical mounments. We are
building forever, for these buildings are tools for build-
of Cohsecration and dedication that will be

I.Letters To
The Editor
Dear Editor (Hero l» • letter
to parent* and wive*.):
So your son or your
is coming to Korea! Perhaps
he is already here If so, you
may be in for quite a shock in-
sofar as his remaining faithful
to the Church of Christ .is con
cerned.
I WOULD LIKE to point out

terms add do not intend to
point to any specific individ-
ual Did you know that only 1
out of 10. who profess to be
members of the Church, at-
tend Church of Christ services
each Lord’s day'.’ Shocking
isn’t it? But it is a fact!
Let’s ask ourselves why this
is so. You may say this son
this husband of mine attend-^
services fairly regularly
when he was in the United
States. Apparently he was not
as well grounded in the faith
as you thought he was? Is he.
or was he. a once-a-week Chris-
tian’’ Are you?
There is a fundamental fact
that we must face, that is. one
must live the Christian life each
and every day and must be
more than a once a week Chris-
tian. ■*
IT SEEMS TO ME that when
most men leave Travis Air
Force Base, or other points of
departure in the United States,
they leave their religion there

United States.
Is your son or your husband
attending Church services in
Korea? How do you know1 Has
he spoken of fellow Christians
in his letters? Has he told you
of his efforts to help the Church
over here?
DID YOU KNOW that al the
present time we only have two
Armed Forces congregations
meeting in Korea’ One meets
at the Seoul American High
School at 0930 each Sunday
morning The other congrega-
tion meets on Sunday afternoon
at the Osan Air Force Base
ChapeFat 1400 hours.
If your son or husband is not
in the Seoul or Osan area then
more than likely he is not at-
tending Church services. Even
if he is in one of these areas
he may be among the 90% not
attending You may say, “Well,
if he isn’t in one of these two
locations how can he attend
services?” Why can’t he help
to start services in one of the
areas indicated below’ Is he
strong enough in the faith?
Does he have the desire to do
something for Christ and for
himself?
There are_ many other loca-_
Tons where the work should be
started in Korea such as in
ASCOM, I Corps, 1st Cav Div.,
7th Inf Div., Taegu and Pusan.
