DO YOU have problems with family finance and balancing the budget? These are vital topics for every home and require a sensible approach for the maintenance of security and happiness in the family. Today there is little "rubber" left in the American dollar and it requires a rare type of ingenuity to make it elastic enough to meet our needs. . .

Marie Spangler
THE SOUL-WINNING program of our evangelist husbands is the most important and most joyous part of their ministry. Since their career is our career, we should consider their evangelistic program our evangelistic program. There is an old adage: "As unto the bow the cord is, so unto the man is woman, Though she bends him, she obeys him." The understanding wife, sensing this truth, will do her utmost to cooperate with him in making his main work of soulsaving a success. After all, his success is her success and his failure is her failure. . .

SHOPPING can be dangerous, even hazardous unless you have yourself in hand and well disciplined. Your budget can suffer for months under the barrage of a big sale-day appeal. Be wary of bar gains; remember it isn't a bargain if you don't need it or it doesn't fit. Know your materials and know your children. Some clothing that is left over is so styled that no child can wear it gracefully. . .

Ron Runyan
SINCE this special issue is dedicated to those wonderful wives of ours, the editors requested that I slant my thoughts toward women's fashions. I'm a man whose household boasts the presence of three lovely ladies. The smell of hair spray and perfume, the sight of put-up hair and faces masked with cleansing cream, the sound of hair dryers and ladies' electric razors have proved to me that the pull of fashion on the feminine side of the race matches that of a full moon on the ocean. . .

TODAY the black clergyman is no longer the symbol of respectability, virtue, authority, honesty, and fidelity. We all can recall those days of yore when the black clergyman was the most respected and revered leader in the community. The "now" generation of nonbelievers, scoffers, doubters, the would-be change makers, spew their venomous darts upon the black religious leaders of the inner city. . .

FROM January 5 to February 26, 1969, the third Andrews University Extension School for the South American Division was conducted on the campus of River Plate College, Argentina. Located in Entre Rios province, among rolling hills, fifteen miles from the nearest town, the seventy-year-old college offered the quiet environment best suited for studying. . .

But what about the work of our church in Africa? From the viewpoint of accomplishments, we can pat ourselves on the back. From the viewpoint of what remains to be done, we can only fall to our knees and beg God for help and power to finish the task. The immensity of territory, the widely separated racial and cultural back grounds, the radically different levels of education and development present a fantastic challenge to the church. . .

SOME years ago, at the completion of a series of meetings, we faced a real problem. It had been my custom personally to cover with each family the material in the Baptismal Certificate in preparation for their baptism. However, the pastor and I were left alone, making it impossible to do this with all who had made their decision. Therefore, I was forced to try something new. . .

John W. Fowler
THE usual arguments, heated by constant repetition, flamed between husband and wife as I entered their home. The same petty criticisms, incessantly voiced, had now erupted into seemingly insurmountable differences. Plainly this marriage was moving swiftly toward the dismal rooms of the divorce courts. Nothing I had said or done on previous visits seemed to have brought any healing to the couple's open wounds. . .

THE first time I saw the familiar placard was on the wall of the press-room at the Seventh-day Adventist Japan Publishing House at Hodogaya. Ever since, it has been called to mind when a particularly difficult task has confronted me. "The Difficult We Do at Once—The Impossible Takes a Little Longer" that placard read, and it certainly has much to say to Seventh-day Adventists all over the world whose way of life is a commitment to the accomplishment of the seemingly impossible. . .

I AM a Bible teacher and I've been trying to understand our youth—the teenagers —that "troublesome group in our church." This is the group that leaves the church. I've been trying to find out why they leave our ranks, why they are rebelling against the church, why they try anything that comes along. . .
