Field Representativ to Visit Indiana
Miss Harriet Bl and- ing, Publications' Di vi sion Field Repre- sentative for the Board of Christian Education, will be working in the Synod of Indiana during the months of January, February and March. She will give educa- tional assistance to Miss Blanding the local churches in the presbyteries of Crawfords- ville, Logansport and Wabash River, where her schedule has been arranged by Rev. Rodgers Spencer (Crawfords- ville), Rev. Herman McCoy, (Logans- port) and Rev. Ray Walther (Wabash River).
Miss Blanding will come to the synod with several years experience with the Publication Division. Her former service has been in the synods of Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa.
She has served as Director of Christian Education at the Presby- teri an Church, Lewistown, Pennsyl - vania; and as Assistant to the Christian Education field director in the Synod of New York.
Traveling Seminar to Alaska Planned
A traveling seminar to Alaska early next summer is available to thirty Presbyterians. Planned by the Board of National Missions particularly for church leaders, the Alaska Traveling Seminar in - cludes visits to most mission work in the territory.
The tour begins June 20, 1956, in Seattle. It is divided into three consecutiveunits which visit south- east Alaska, the interior, and the Arctic Coast.
For information write to Dr. Mer- lyn A. Chappel, secretary, Division of Missionary Support, board of National Missions, 156 Fifth Avenue, New York 10, New York.
" Displaced Persons" called Refuges under the present law - the Refugee Act, which includes all people in Europe, Middle East and Asia seeking emigration from Com- muni st dominated countries.
Thousands of refugees are waiting for the chance of a new life. Amer- ica has unlatched the door with the U. S. Refugee Relief Act of 1953. Refugees are arriving constantly, but the Act runs out in December, 1956.
Says Miss Margaret W. Gillespie, Executive Secretary of the Committee on Resettlement Services, " It is still a long way off to make the Presbyterian quotaof 3,000 refugees before the end of the Pill; " but this can be done if each Church and Presbytery does its part.
How can the individual help? In every Presbyterian congregation there may be business leaders, heads of manufacturing concems and hous- ing projects, doctors and lawyers
who know of employment opportunities. By bringing to their attention the urgency of securing assurances this year, one can do both them and the refugees a real service. Most of these refugee families have factory skills, mechanical, construction, clerical; a few, gardening, handy- man, farming, tailoring; and very few domestics and professionals.
The Refugee Relief Act of 1953 enables any organization or indi - vidual to sign assurances for a refugee family or single person, offering jobs for the skilled work - er, or training them on the job. One can save the life of a whole family.
For information ask your local Presbytery Resettlement Committees, or write to Miss Margaret W. Gilles- pie, Executive Secretary, Committee on Resettlement Services, The Pres- byterian Church in the U.S.A., (15f Fifth Avenue, Room 520, New York 10, New York).

THE EDITOR SAYS:
There is a Japanese proverb that speaks of three important things: reverence for the past, greatness achieved in the present, and striv- ing for future betterment.
The beginning of a new year is a fitting time for review and evalu- ating, as well as for new resolu- tion.
What can we say of the past? What have we expected to happen? What has been accomplished? How well have we served the high objectives of our Christian faith and proclaimed them?
In the beginning of this year of our Lord, 1956, what in our plans is of the " mind of Christ" ?
South Bend Ridgedale Church Breaks Ground
The congregation of the Ridgedale Presbyterian Church in South Pend broke ground for a new Christian Education building on Sunday after- noon, December 4.
A special service directed the thought of the congregation to the purpose for which the building is to be erected. Under the direction of The Rev. Franklin Bruce, pastor, the congregation prayerfully dedi- cated the site for erecting a build- ing to be used in the program of leading children and young people to Jesus Christ.
New Synod Leadership Training School Planned
More than 8,000 students took part in Presbyterian one-week leadership education training schools across the country during the summer of 1955.
Thousands of persons who wished to participate had to be turned away because of insufficient facil - ities and, as a result, six addi - tional synod schools will be opened next summer.
Dr. Paul Chal fant, pastor of Sunnyside Presbyterian Church, South Bend, and chair- man of Synod's Com- mittee on Christian Education, has been selected to dean one of the new schools Dr. Chal fant which will be held at Hanover College, Hanover, Indiana, July ] to 7.
Courses designed to aid all who carry responsibility in the Church's program will be offered, and a special feature will be supervised activities for children while their parents are attending classes. Evening work shops will include Missionary Education, Family Recre- ation, Music in the Church, Creative Activities and Christian Family Li fe.

PHILIPPINE LEADER SPEAKS
Miss Josephine Phodaca, an at- torney from Manila, in the Philip- pine Islands, spoke to a group of Presbyterian women in the Meri dian Heights Church in Indianapolis.
She insisted that Christian women should take greater part in public affairs. She expressed her confi- dence that women, united in purpose, have power to bring Christian prin- ciples and actions into focus.
Hammond Church Women Reorganized
The women of the Hammond Presby - teri an Church have been reorganized according to the Handbook, and will function under a newly adopted constitution.
Mrs. S.C. Ennis is the newly elected president. At the reorgan- ization meeting there were seventy women present, including guests from churches located nearby.
Mrs. Charles MacDonald, of Evan- ston, Illinois, was a guiest. She is president of Chicago Presbyteri al, associated with Miss Edith Prook- miller in the East Central Area.
Church Officer Training Projected
The General Assembly is embarking upon an extensive program of church officer training.
The program will take the form of Seminars for ministers over the en- tire Church. This will be a three year program dealing with the " Na- ture of the Church", " The Order of the Church", and " The Nurture of the Church".
Two Seminars will be held in our Synod early in 1957: One at the Calvary Presbyterian Church at Logansport, and the other at the First Presbyterian Church, Columbus.
Although these Seminars are more than a year away every minister in the Synod should be making plans to attend. These Seminars will fill a long felt need in the church for a program of church officer training. Each minister attending these train- ing Seminars will be given adequate material and instruction to return to the church he serves and train his own officers.
Wanted -- Boats!
Several individuals and church groups have contributed toward the purchase of new boats for Kosciusko Youth Camp. Four or five new boats are assured but at least five more are needed. A boat costs approx- imately $150.00.
If a group feels it cannot buy a boat, contributions toward the pur- chase of a boat will be gladly re- ceived. For furthur information contact the Committee on Christian Education, 1132 North Alabama St., Indianapolis 2, Indiana.
National Christian College Day Observed
The Committee on Christian Educa- tion for the Synod, through its Sub Committee on Higher Education, is sponsoring the observance of National Christian College Day, Sun- day, April 15, 1956.
The Committee is arranging to make available to the churches of synod, speakers and deputation teans from our Foundations and Hanover College.
Churches making early requests will be given first consideration. A church wishing a speaker or a deputation team should make that request known to The Rev. Howard W. Kipp, P.O. Box 139, Frank fort, Indiana.
For this observance, the Committee is preparing a special bulletin cover which may be used in the churches. It will be left blank in- side for the order of service of each church. In January all churches will be contacted for orders for bulletins. They will be sent free of charge to those requesting them.
It is the conviction of the Com- mittee on Higher Education that congregations must take a deeper interest in students while they are in centers of higher education.
No church should overlook the opportunity for making this special emphasis on this day set aside by our Church.
Parker Called to Jasper
The Rev. K. Jerome Parker, for several years pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Montezuma, has been called to the First Presby- terian Church at Jasper.
In addition to serving the Jasper church, Mr. Parker will provide leadership for churches at Lemon and Portersville.
Mrs. Williams Oldest Resident Peabody Home
Mrs. MattieE. Wil- lians, age 99, is the oldest resident of the Estelle Peabody Memorial Home. Al - though confined to the hospital section of the Home, Mrs. Williams' health and physical condition anticipates the poss- ibility that she will Mrs. Williams become the Home's first centenarian.
Mrs. Williams entered the Home on November 4, 1938, coming from Nobles- ville, Indiana, where she was a member of the Presbyterian Church.
Church School Leaders Return from Conference
Two Indiana church school teachers have returned from Buck Hill Falls, Pennsylvania, where they attended a consultative conference at the in- vitation of the editors of the Faith and Life curriculum.
Mr. Ralph Baumheckel of Conners- ville andMr.John Lawson of Knights- town, both teachers of senior high school classes, were selected to attend the conference to make a study of " This Generation", the magazine for teachers and parents of senior high young people.
In the conference the lesson mat- erials were examined and an evalua- tion made ofgeneral articles, read- ing books, and special departments of the magazine.
Approximately forty teachers from churches throughout the country met with members of the editorial staff for the conference.
