While our family was involved
in mission work in Nigeria from
1954 to 1956, my husband worked
with three other missionary men
as teachers for the Ukpom Bible
College, teaching the Nigerian
Christian young men, and some
not so young, how to teach and
preach the gospel to others.
Some of the men had Christian
wives, while others were not
married, and some were even
involved in polygamous marri-
ages, which have been a part of
their culture for centuries. Con-
sequently, much emphasis was
put on Christian marriage and
what the Bible says about it, and
many of them changed to a
more Christian concept of mar-
riage.
However, the missionaries be-
gan to see that it did little good
to change the husband’s attitude
toward marriage unless the wife
also was taught, since a wife
who does not share her hus-
band’s belief in God and Christ
as their guide would have a
weakening effect upon her hus-
band’s ability to teach and
preach. Women’s lectureships
were begun which not only
taught many scriptural prin-
ciples of marriage and the
home, but also helped the
women to know each other
better and form friendships with
other Christian women.

Eddins to Serve
as Moderator for
Harding Biblical
Forum
SEARCY, Ark.:—Tom Eddins
of the Harding Bible faculty will
be in charge of the Biblical
Forum, which is a division of
the 13-in-l workshop to be held
at Harding College Aug. 7-10.
Eddins will serve as moderator
for the question and answer
sessions during the Forum.
Five ministers from both
Harding College and the Hard-
ing Graduate School of Religion
in Memphis will make up the
faculty. Tom Warren of Mem-
phis will speak daily on “The
Inspiration of the Bible,” Dr.
Neale Pryor of Searcy will
discuss the Book of Revelation
each day. Ed Sanders of Searcy
has been assigned to explain
Cults, a subject to which he has
devoted much study and re-
search.
Dr. Jack Lewis of Memphis
will present evaluations of three
versions of the Biblical text, the
King James, American Standard
and Revised Standard versions.
Dr. J. D. Bales of Searcy will
speak on “Instrumental Music”
and the “Holy Spirit and the
Church.”
The Biblical Forum will be
held in the Athletic Center. The
other 12 will be at various sites
on the Harding campus.
Planned as a full spectrum
workshop for all Christians, the
13-in-l will offer intensive study
for all areas of Christian ser-
vice. Participants will attend
only one workshop for three
days for 16 hours of classes in
that field.
Dr. Jerry Jones, chairman of
the Bible department and work-
shop director, anticipates an at-
tendance of several thousand.

is to provide quality Biblical
instruction for women, both
single and married; to provide
opportunities for practical Chris-
tian experiences; to provide
training in counsehng; and to
develop better concepts of their
role in the work of the Lord’s
church, the home, and society.
“The church and the home cry
for women who are grounded in
sound Biblical principles,” said
James Young, the newly ap-
pointed director of the school.
“The School of Christian Ser-
vices provides women with the
sound Biblical principles to
stabilize the home.
“In addition, there are many
areas of service in which the
School of Christian Services
desires to provide opportunities
for practical Christian exper-
ience. There is the urgent need
for qualified teachers at home
and foreign missions. Requests
are received from missionaries
seeking experienced and well-
trained women for secretarial
service. Many of the students
are trained nurses needing fur-
ther in-depth study of the Bible
for effective personal evangel-
ism. There is no minimum level
of formal education required for
admission, but the intense char-
acter of the course of study will
necessitate maturity and deter-
mination.
“The school operates from
September through July of each
year. Classes are in session both
morning and afternoon, five
days a week. The entire course
them x requires two years and is
tuition-free. Enrollment for new
students is the first week in
September and the second week
in February.”

years. The church in Too-
woomba, Australia, expects that
the Campaign will result in a
doubling of its present member-
ship of 27. In fact, the congre-
gation is presently constructing
a building in anticipation of the
Campaign growth.
Even at this time the congre-
gation is benefiting from the
Campaign which is yet future.
Members are learning to use the
O.B.S. and soul-winning methods
which will benefit the work per-
manently. Also, members are
growing as they prepare them-
selves to be able to be “bro-
ther’s keepers” to our new bre-
thren the Campaign will bring.
51 Campaigners are commit-
ted already and more can go if
they contact Randol Mill imme-
diately. The team of Campaign-
ers will be finalized in early
February. Won’t you come?
Brethren, pray for this effort.

MacQuarie (Aust.) Preacher s
School Graduates Sixth Class
SYDNEY, Australia:—John
Whelan became the twenty-
second graduate of Macquarie
School of Preaching at the
school’s sixth graduation service
held on December 9, 1977, in
Sydney, Australia. John became
the first student to graduate
since the regular preacher-train-
ing course was expanded from
two to three years in 1975.
Also about 150 Christians,
including visitors from four
Australian states and America,
were present to hear Brisbane
| evangelist Tom Fairley exhort
John to “preach the word.”
In addition, three former
I students were awarded certifi-
1 cates retroactively, to recognize
that they had in the past
successfully done at least one
year’s work. They were Tom
Fairley, Pam Pauli, and (in
absentia) Peter Humby.
