Seldom do behavior and belief get together in our world of to day, he said, resulting in an acute need for Christian higher education. Noting revolutions in the social, political and religious lives of people in the United States, with many inherent pressures, Weer sing said that there is a need for revelation and reason. Speaking of the political revo lution in the U.
