cooperation in this project. Better still, get the Christian education department of the local council of churches to sponsor area previews of good and useful materials. This seems to be the plan in Greater Cleveland where the Christian Education Department of the Cleveland Area Church Federation put on a two-day program of previews in January, 1961. On the east side of Cleveland 36 churches sent 184 'previewers'. On the west side 138 leaders came from 29 churches. Sixty-five churches in all, and 322 attending. That's a worthy effort and a fine result. Some denominations were conipicuously absent— to their impoverishment. Several of the largest United Presbyterian churches were not represented. We wonder why. Ill risk a ^ess: no one really cared enough to promote attendance at the preview. Why didn't they care? That's a story :oo long to tell here. \udiovisuals Left Out From a flier bearing the title "Skills >hops for Church and Vacation i^hurch School Teachers," I get the mpression that audiovisual aids were eft out entirely as a metropolitan comnunity set about to prepare those I'ho were teaching in the church chools and who would be conducting nd teaching in the vacation church chools of that large community this ummer.

He finds the present liurch school ineffectual and adJnces (his) "church education" as a Mjacea for the church's educational hnents. This new education is to B in the hands of a pastor-teacher. le is to be the product of a new kind seminary. Until it can begin proicing these pastor-teachers in quana pseudo edition of them are to recruited from here and there. Now this book. Church Education For ■morrow. Dr. Wesner Fallaw finds ace to say .something about audiosual aids in tliis revitalized pastorntered educational program which III be truly educational. It's on page ', and it's one paragraph of eight les and of about 73 words. He says, part, "Choosing these teaching aids is a task to keep the willing layman busy from now on!" whatever that may mean. Index For Biblical Films We are planning to use the Cathedral film Return to Jerusalem. It's for a special meeting of our youth. We want to give it a context of worship and need to know what the relevant scripture is. Now that we have our copy of the Index to Biblical Events Depicted In Cathedral Films, a nicely printed and easy-to-use booklet of 12 pages, it's no trouble at all. Right there it is: Acts 9:26a, Acts 9:26b-28, and Acts 9:29-31. That's the basis for the film which tells how Saul, now Paul, comes back and tries to make contact with the followers of Jesus. He does, but they are suspicious of him, as well they might be. John Mark rejects him; will not trust him at all. Peter, more mature, does.
