Nine Colleges Attend Leadership Conference More than 50 representatives from nine colleges attended the three-day seventh annual A&M Student Leadership Conference during the past weekend at the Lakeview Methodist Encampment in Palestine. Featured speaker at the initial meeting Friday was the Rev- Wil liam E. Denham, pastor oi ,-,he River Oaks Baptist Churcn in Houston, who spoke on the reli gious and personal aspects of leadership. “A Former Student Recom mends,” was the topic of a two- man panel by Tom Gillis, ( presi dent of the Arrowhead Idol Co. Of Houston, and William Oswalt, III, vice president of the South land Center in Dallas, both for mer Aggies. It was brought out in the panel discussion that many students up on graduation are content to work for an employer who offers secur ity, rather than strike out on their own. Saturday morning, ‘•he group heard State Sen. William Fly of the 18th District speak on the ap plication of political leadership. Saturday’s luncheon topic, “Di ploma vs. Education,” was discuss ed by Dr. Robert E. Branson, pro fessor of agricultural economics and sociology.

P. Hannegan; Col. J. E. Davis, commandant of School of Military Science; and Student Af fairs Director B. A. Zinn. The talks and following informal dis cussions were designed to better acquaint student leaders with ' members of the college admin istration.

ALL FOR THE CHURCH The Church is the greatest factor on earth for the building of character and good citizenship. It is a storehouse of spiritual values. Without a strong Ghurch, neither democracy nor civiliza tion can survive. There are four sound reasons why every person should at tend services regularly and support the Church. They are: (1) For his own sake. (2) For his children’s sake. (3) For the sake of his community and nation. (4) For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and material support. Plan to go to church regularly and read your Bible daily. Day Sunday Monday T uesday Wednesdaj Thursday Friday Saturday Book Chapter Verses I Samuel i 26-28 Luke 2 39-10 I Samuel 3 17-10 Luke 2 46-49 I Corinthians 2 3-5 Psalms 37 3-6 Deuteronomy 7 9 Mrs. Thompson is a “modern” mother. She wouldn’t think of neglecting her baby’s regular visit to the doctor. She knows that these early check-ups plus proper diet, rest and care, are vital if her child is to grow up into a strong, healthy boy, ready to take his place in tomorrow’s world. Nor will she forget an even more important factor in his development—his spiritual check-ups. When the time comes and baby is old enough, his tiny footsteps will lead him into Church School where another kind of ministry will be given to him. Later still, he will worship with his parents, and the importance of the family unit together at work, at play and in worship will be engrained in his mind. In tomorrow’s world he will be well equipped to take his place physically, mentally . . . and spiritually. Copyright 1959, Keister Adv. Service, Strasburg, Va.
