to the assembly, which is tentatively scheduled to meet at Peradeniya, Ceylon, will consider many live issues that come out of the life of the churches. Delegates will meet in sections dealing with the unity of the church, the witness of the church, and the service of the church. A deluxe edition of the Bible has been published by the Japan Bible Society to commemorate the one-hundredth anniversary of Protestantism in that country. The translation is that of the colloquial Japanese Bible, which, when it appeared in 1955, was honored as the book of the year. Last year distribution of Scriptures by all the agencies in Japan totaled 75,284 Bibles, 39,139 New Testaments, and 1,425,161 Scripture portions. The Cross appears as part of the design of the newest denomination of U.S. postage. It is St. George’s Cross and it is displayed prominently on the new two-and-one-half-cent stamp recently issued by the Post Office Department. A demonination not seen before, the stamp anticipates a rate increase for printed matter postage from 2 cents to 2% cents in the near future. The new stamp shows the Bunker Hill monument in Boston, behind which is the flag of the Massachusetts colonists under which they fought that day. The banner features that British Cross of St. George. Though the Cross has appeared on American postage stamps before, it has never been quite so conspicuously a part of the design.

Faith and Life Curriculum for this year. The church. If the church is to fulfill the mandate laid upon it by God, it must not limit its attention to turning out end proj ducts in the form of statistics, i buildings, or even respectable characters. Neither must it strive to imitate the superficial characteristics of religion in former generations. The church must devote attention, with the aid of the Holy Spirit, to provide conditions within which persons may be informed about, see demonstrated in other persons, and therefore respond to, the grace of God in Christ. This response must be guided into reflective and responsible commitment to Christ and personal indentification with his church. This in turn will involve persons in the twin disciplnes of learnng and the communicating to others the signifiance of that grace for all the varied, ahd urgent issues of life. 10:30 a.m.—Morning Worship.
