QUOTE FOR THE MONTH "A projector is only good when you have motion pictvire films to run on it; and, the motion picture film is only good when it gives proper support to your program." -H. S. Van Deren, Jr. Since 1909 Da-Lite Screen Co., Inc. Warsaw, Indiana l!®ll Junior children take the first steps in understanding the basic concepts of stewardship, touching time, abilities, and money in the work of the whole church. There are 50 photographs and 9 minutes of recorded c-ommentary. I would have liked tliis better in straight narration rather than as dialogue. There is an assumption here about the superiority of dialogue which has wobbly psychological legs to stand on, if indeed, it can stand at all. Ml Over The World seeks to show Ck)d at work thru his church in many parts of the world; and, to show the church as the Christian's agency out across the world. Again, dialogue and recorded, and running 8 minutes. Good and useful. A Guide To Developing Stewardship In Children is a how-to-do-it piece for Primary and Junior boys and girls. There are 37 frames and 10 minutes of recorded narration. There are references to specific items of curriculum materials. While Presbyterian, these references could easily be generalized by the user. Produced by the Dept. of Stewardship and Promotion, United Presbyterian Church, 475 Riverside Dr., New York 27, this kit is available from the above address for $12.00 complete. Christian Adults What are they like in today's world? Can they live and work under pressure? Can a Christian get on in the business world? What happens to faith in God in the space age? How can a person find his place in the church? If you think there is an easy answer to all these questions, then you need to see and jx)nder the four-unit filmstrip series "Christian Adults In Tcxlay's World," produced by Family Filmstrips, Inc. This series is designed to start, not end, discussion. They are designed each one of them, to sharpenup the issues rather than give solutions. After all the solutions will vary v\'ith person, places, and time. The art is good; the recordings technically fine; but I would put a litde more vim and vigor in the commentaries. For adults they need more bite— to best set the mood for discussion. Here are the titles: Being A Christian In Business Living and Working Under Pressure Faith For the Space Age Finding Your Place In The Church Available from your A-V dealer. Price complete (2 LP records and four narrations) plus guides, $25.50. Recommended. Good and Useful Catalogue A good catalogue costs money. A good catalogue is no good if it doesn't get out to the customers. And even then it's not much good if you can't find your way around in it. Besides, a clutter of pictures is no substitute for useful information. Furthermore, a catalogue that's organized to death, can be the death of sales. All this is especially true of audiovisual catalogues. I liked the Sept. 1962 to Jan. 196.3 Cokesbury PROJECTOR. It has a topical set-up, and that's good. The church runs that way, and leaders work that way. They ask; What's on Stewardship; on The Family; on National Missions; The Church and Race; and, right on through to New Titles. Mr. H. S. VanDeren, Jr., Manager of the A-V Department of Cokesbury (Methodist) is commended for keeping right down to essentials in turning out an excellent publication. Audio Resources The LP record. Music From the Rim of East Asia, is available solely from A-V Services, Methodist Board of Missions, 475 Riverside Drive, N.Y. 27, and the price is only $3.00. Here is useful material in a usable package, with the finest notes on what is what. Side One of this technically excellent record has 8 recordings of folk music from Japan, Korea, Okinawa, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. Then comes 4 bands giving us Oriental music in the Westem style— not too happy a hybrid! When we turn the record over we come to Christian, or 'church' music. Here is music by orientals. First is a selection. The Shepherd's Song, from "A Christmas Cantata," one of very few pieces in the Korean idiom. How beautiful! Then we are given on Band Two "The Song of the Prodigal Son," #245 from the hymnal of the United Church of Christ of Japan, wedding with happy result, an old Japanese 732 Educational Screen and Audiovisual Guide — December, 1962
