Expansion Plans
Set by Baptists
FORT WORTH (BP) Trustees
of Southwestern Baptist Theologi-
cal Seminary re-elected officers
heard committee reports raised
'faculty and staff salaries and
made plans for future expansion
during their semi-annual meeting
on the seminary campus here.
James E. Coggin pastor of
Travis Avenue Baptist Church
Fort Worth was re-elected chair-
man; Ralph M. Smith pastor
Hyde Park Baptist Church Aus-
tin vice chairman; and seminary
business manager Wayne Evans
secretary.
The financial committee report
showed total assets on July 31
1968 of $18964541. Of this $6
million-plus is endowment.

is not as true of Southern Bap-
tists as it is of some other
groups it does seem that many
of our members but particularly
many of our leaders and pastors
are management oriented. Un-
fortunately many working peo-
ple find a more congenial at-
mosphere in the labor union
than in the church.
It would help all of us work-
ers with hand and head to re-
member that Jesus was called
"the carpenter's son." He
worked with Joseph in the car-
penter's shop. My judgment is
that when he began his public
ministry his countenance was
tanned and his hands were
rough and calloused. His first
disciples were fishermen who
doubtlessly showed the out-
ward evidence of exposure to
the elements of nature and car-
ried on their hands and in their
clothing the reminders of their
trade.
"Abilene Printing & Stationery Co.
Worth chairman of the building
and grounds committee reported
construction under way on sev-
eral new parking lots and the
medical center.
Plans for a new Children's
Building were reviewed and the
renovation of Price Hall discuss-
ed. Both projects are scheduled
as soon as funds are available.
Walsh also reported the early
construction of a president's
home.
In the president's report to the
trustees Robert E. Naylor cited
the largest fall enrollment since
1961. The 1735 students represent
an increase of 121 over 1967.
Trustees faculty members and
their wives heard a report on
Naylor's recent trip to the South
Seas during a dinner session.
OF HONOR
And let us not forget that
Paul toiled with his hands to
support himself. One could not
cut and sew the material of
which tents were made without
revealing the evidence on his
hands.
We need in our churches and
in society in general to recap-
ture so far as we have lost it
the dignity of manual labor or
common toil. The man who
works with his hands should be
respected just as much as any-
one else within our Christian
fellowship.
It would be helpful if those of
us who belong to the "white col-
lar" class would do some manual
labor. Many of us can mow
our yards. Some of us can
have a garden. We can to a
considerable degree be our own
carpenter painter plumber
and electrician. We can be
handy with our hands. At least
we should never feel that
manual labor is "beneath our
dignity."

By BETTY LOU ROGERS
Brand Staff Writer
Mrs. Ellen Turner English staff
member never graduated from
high school.
After her third year of high

tion ceremonies.
MRS." TURNER began her ele-
mentary education in the third
grade. Therefore she completed
high school at age 14 and received
her B. A. from Hardin-Simmons
at the age of 17.
For the first four years of her
teaching career Mrs. Turner was
teaching students older than she
was.
She explains "I did not find
this situation to be an advantage.
I felt that I was always too
young."
Mrs. Turner received her M. A.
from North Texas State and also
took courses at ACC.
HER TEACHING career in-
cludes 14 years in Abilene High
School 10 years in Woodrow Wil-
son Jr. High in Port Arthur four
years in Tuscola Junior High and
other consolidated schools. She
has a total of 37 years of teaching
experience.
Although she likes teaching in
high school and junior high she
states "I feel that college is a
challenge to me as much as it is
to students." She explains "I
have to get out of a rut and look
for something constantly new.

Church "Budget Offering"
Turns Out To Be Stolen
NASHVILLE (BP) For a
while it looked like some shy
philanthropist had dumped a
bundle of money on the steps of
First Baptist Church here right in
the middle of a budget campaign.
Fat chance! It turned out to be
a bank robber getting rid of some
booby-trapped loot.
Robert Snead minister of music
at the church saw it all and
leaped into action.
Snead was sitting in his up-
stairs office when he heard a car
come to a screeching stop out-
side. LOOKING OUT he saw red
smoke pouring from the car. The
driver jumped out jerked off his
coat fanned the smoke jumped
back in started toward the cor-
ner stopped again and fanned
the smoke some more.
Snead ran downstairs thinking
the car was on fire and seeking to
help. The car had gone but
Snead found on the sidewalk a
bundle with a genuine $5 bill on
top but fake money underneath.
Red smoke was pouring from the
bundle.
Snead called the police and five
patrol cars converged on the
scene. The story- then began to
fall into place.
A NEARBY branch bank had
been robbed of less than $600.
The teller had given the robber
a smoke bomb disguised as a
packet of $5 bills. The robber
put the "money" into his coat

pocket and three minutes later
as he drove past the church the
bomb went off.
Snead said when he called the
police he thought that someone
had booby-trapped the money to
try to kill the man and that the
bomb might yet explode outside
the church.
Despite Snead's description of
the car and the driver police sev-
eral days later had not located the
thief.
SNEAD SAID everyone he-
knows and many strangers had
kidded him about the incident
about being a non-hero and
about going to any length to raise
money for the church's $586000
budget campaign.
If he had only captured the
robber Snead might have been
able to donate the reward money
to the church campaign which
raised nearly $500000 on the first
day of pledging.
When asked if he really would
have given it all to the church
Snead replied "WelL at least 1Q
per cent of it."
