Some felt that ince our Council of Ten con– ducts almost all our business, it could meet an extra day and the rest of us would have two solid days of in– spiration. The second question was whether we need and want a fulltime state worker. Most of the pastors there were very much in favor, with only one objecting that it would lead to ' 'con– ventionism .' · The chairman aid, how– ever, that he had had many let ter on the subject during the year, and that they were about equally dividerl pro and con. The reason for the feel– ing at Camp Patmo was that only one church ha applied for fellowsh ip thus far this year, over against four in ·ss, six in '59, 12 in '60, and two in 6 1. It wa openly said that we are dr agging our feet while other Bapti t groups are advancing.

A 12-man PTL evangelistic t eam carried the battle to the enemy's gates this sum– mer at the ten-day 8th Communist World Youth Festival in Helsinki.
