Pepperdine College

[Page 14]

     Reuel Lemmons writes in the July 9 issue of Firm Foundation as follows: "To our minds, one of the most significant events of this generation, so far as the church is concerned, has just occurred on the West Coast. George Pepperdine College Board has just announced a complete and sweeping change in administration."

     Why is that significant to the church? I thought these Bible Colleges were individual and private enterprises, and not connected with the church. Have not the debaters argued in their defense that they were just like grocery stores, filling stations and sawmills? Is it a significant fact "in this generation" when a grocery store gets a new meatcutter or manager? When a filling station secures a new man to manipulate the grease rack? Or when a sawmill gets a new hand to run the saw? How is it possible for a "Christian College" to develop Christian atmosphere when the ones who run them cannot tell the truth about their nature and purpose. Surely the members of "The Church of Christ" must be of all men most blinded!
