Southern Baptists
To Plan Church-
Student Program
The 887 Baptist students of How¬
ard are urged by Louie Wilkinson,
student secretary, to contact the
pastors of their home churches im¬
mediately and let them know that
they are willing and ready to help
in planning and presenting "Stu¬
dent Night at Christmas" in their
home churches.
The purpose of “Student Night
At Christmas” is to acquaint South¬
ern Baptists with the work of the
Baptist Student Union.
All pastors of full time churches
are familiar with this program and
have already received the neces¬
sary material for the program.
Louie would like to remind you
that this is a splendid opportunity
for you as students to let your
churches know of your Christian
activities and experiences at How¬
ard and also give them an idea of
what Baptist Students over the
Southland are doing.
He says that this also gives your
church an opportunity to let you
know that they haven't forgotten
you while you have been away at
school.
