COLUMBIA THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY EARNESTLY REQUESTS
THE IMMEDIATE GIFTS OF ITS FRIENDS FOR THESE REASONS:
/. Under God's blessing we have won the war. We must also
win the peace. The one hope of our Nation and of the World
lies in a great spiritual awakening. The times are summon-
ing the Church of Jesus Christ to a new faithfulness in
proclaiming His Gospel.
2. The mission of the Church cannot be accomplished without a
trained and consecrated leadership. Only the church can
prepare men for its own ministry. The work of the theologi-
cal seminary is indispensable to its entire program.
3. Columbia Theological Seminary has served the Church and
Nation well for 117 years. Strategically located in the heart
of the developing Southeast, it must do a greater work
tomorrow. Of the 10,000,000 persons already living in the
bounds of its five supporting synods, less than one-half
belong to any church.
4. In order to meet the demands of tomorrow, this institution
needs an increased endowment and an enlarged faculty.
Friends have offered to give $50,000 to its endowment if
$100,000 more can be secured by January 1, 1946. Nearly
$60,000 of that amount has been given or pledged.
5. A dollar given to Columbia Seminary now means an investment of
more than two dollars for the work of the Church.
". . . We have had our last chance. If we do not
devise some greater and more equitable system,
Armageddon will be at our door. The problem
is basically theological . . ."
General Douglas MacArthur
