Youth Evangelism--Let It Happen
William A. Haynor
THE basic idea is to allow things to happen. The elusive "secret" of youth involvement in church activities and specifically in evangelistic outreach is just that simple and just that hard.

Michael Stevenson
IT HAS been my privilege to attend many Bible conferences and retreats. The youth who have attended have usually returned to their campuses revived. Unfortunately though, until recently the revivals have been generally short-lived. . .

Donald E. Crane
THERE has been a spirit of unrest recently among college students on many Seventh-day Adventist campuses in the United States. One of the issues involved is dissatisfaction with the church's spiritual program. . .

Colin Standish
SOME years ago an Australian university professor, representing a large student Christian Society, addressed a gathering of students. After having denied the person of God, and having spent much time in debunking the Scriptures, the professor was confronted by a student who declared that as an atheist, he could agree almost entirely with what had been said by the professor.

WHAT'S it really like to be a pastor? There are twelve Seminary students from Andrews University who can answer this question more realistically after having participated in an experimental field training school in Glendale, California, this past summer. The field school incorporated many of the practical duties of a pastor and served as a real learning experience. . .

As death approaches, patients often play games that are actually defensive denials of the inevitable, this psychiatrist says. Recognizing which game is being played is the key to managing the terminal patient. . .

Since I'm 23 I suppose I'm right in the middle of the turbulent generation. I haven't left the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and I know I'm speaking tor more "faithful" young SDA's than just myself when I say we have a need' a big, wide, deep need that is not being met. We are hungry for some thing we are not being fed.

THE name Adventist intimates an eschatological thrust, and such a thrust was never more relevant than in 1971. This is, theologically and otherwise, the eschatological era. To speak of eschatology is to speak of hope in a hopeless world, it is to assert purpose and meaning in an age of ideological nihilism. It is a presentation of a viable theodicy to an age of deicide— that is, it justifies God to a world so suspicious of Him as to declare Him dead. . .

A youth effort in Eugene, Oregon, in which the young men did all the preaching, the girls the ushering, and earliteens and twenties furnished orchestra music, had been very successful. Three souls were the trophies. My role had been simply to coach the speakers and to plan with all of them.

THE most important group in the life of the unattached adult is the peer group. Each single adult has certain social needs that demand satisfaction as imperatively as do the physical needs. Strongest among these social needs is the need to be like others and belong to a group. . .

These precious children! What a short time we have them! How soon they leave the nest to venture into life on their own. How carefully we need to guide them, with what love correct them!
