Christian schools needed where delinquency abounds By Fred Alexander (Baptist School of the Bible) I ha.ve ibeen more completely .haippy in my work thjs year th,an ever ·be– fore. I have .always sought a lfield of service where ·there was real need and h.ave at ]a t found it right next door. T 1 he only question !i where to place my en,ergies to best advant- age. One of the great umu1filled needs of Cleveland and every major city in America ti inrtegrated Chri tian D.aiy Schools. It's wondenful to see young and older adults saved f rom delinquency, drugs, drinkin,g im,mor– ality etc. bu.t how much more wonder– fu1 to see them kept tfrom such in jby ChriSlti·an homes, scihools and churohes. Our Baiptist School of the Bible has brought many of our people to a place of sound relation to Jesus Christ. As our Christian parents see the public sahool ,becoming more and more un 1 0 hristian, ithey are be– coming exercised ,that their children be taugh.t jn schools c offitPati,ble with home and c-hurch. Then again my hobby (priinting) offers another almo t untouched ap- proach to the American Negro. T here is very, ver y limiited evangelical liter– ~1ture w 1 hioh is par.ticularly slanted to this nee<l . To meet thi n eed barriers ar e ,almost in urmountable. Even used printing equipment that could develo p 1,his ,f ie 1 ld be~ins at $ J 5,000. Besides it.his, wher e is the dedj cated printing and wri.ting talent? Should we see the need and shru.g jt off as too great for us or s·hould we make praye11ful sacri,fi cial eff orts to meet the need ? Thi s year has m 1 arked a new begin– ning in our Bible Sc,hool wi,th 1 the hiring of three ,full time ,teacher s a nd the r enting of ,two new store !front space . Perhaps the f,ir t of .the year will also see the ,addition of Rev. William Mason as a student-recruiter and fi eld man among the Negroes. We have had ·no moment of financiia1 sunp'Jus but salar~es are paid and bills are met . Prai e ,tJhe Lord! And now a word from my private Secretary. As ecretary for ~hese world trave– lers I (Anne) scarcely have a dull moment. Try4jng to set up schedules to suit many ohurches develops pa– tience ,and also wniter's cramps! S.ince Au·gu t we've tr,aveled over 10,000 miles presenting the School in 12 dififerent tates, from Connec.ticut to Colorado and down ~nto Oklaihoma. We've seen no spectacular results but ' . we re certain m·any ,more people know of our School and we hope many accepted the challenge we tried to give in regard to ,the woeful neglect of our ,people.
