ESCAPE FROM ARMSTRONGISM The wonderful testimony contained in “We Escaped from Armstrongism” (August 1966) has been deeply appre ciated. Perhaps more such articles would help to warn those who are being led astray by the numerous cults of our day. Mary L. Lyons, West New York, New Jersey EDITORIALS I want to give a profound “ thank you” fo r Dr. Sutherland’s editorial comments on the dilemma of the courts, the police officers and the society atti tudes of today. There was a time when the police officers o f our nation were highly respected and honored . . . today they are degraded and scorned, and yet expected to protect society that they may walk without fear. A police officer has to be a peacemaker, a counselor, an advisor on legal questions, at times, a pastor, and always, a fearless bul wark to protect the rights o f society to live in their homes without fear and apprehension; to safely walk on the sidewalks of “ Hometown, U.S.A.” with out fear of violence. A police officer becomes frustrated in these times when the world church leaders brazenly step forward and ad vise people to do those things which are contrary to good order. . . . These same churches spend nothing or do nothing toward a mission field, starv ing and crying loud fo r them right in their own hometowns, and they are not heard. Glen E. VanderBrink, Bellingham, Washington This natron is a nation of people who belong to churches. This high degree of spirituality is the iron core of our resistance to Communism. It would be ironic if a country like ours — built around the great ideals of freedom — were to collapse be cause we did not appraise the Com munist strategy realistically, or were lulled into a sense of false security by Communist peace offers. It is time for us in the free world to quit being defensive, apologetic and m e a l y - mo u t h e d when our system comes under attack. The most effec tive antedote to Communism is a pro gram of intelligent, articulate, posi tive Americanism. Each citizen has a sober responsibility to know the facts and to do his part in the preservation of our great heritage. — Senator Karl E. Mundt (S. Dakota)
OPEN YOUR HEART TO A CHILD PICTURED HERE These and many others in our orphanages are hoping for a loving “ Daddy and Mommy” or “ Big Brother or Sister.” Only $10 a month, just 30 pennies a day, provides loving Christian care for a Korean orphan—shelter, clothing, food, medical care and all necessities, including cost o f school supplies. One Missionary Superintendent writes, “ I greatly appreciate your loyal help and the blessing it has been to all the children. If not for this Orphanage, most o f these would be beggers today; ignorant, filthy, diseased and without hope. May God richly reward you for the wonderful work you are doing.” Some o f these children and hundreds in our many other orphanages are without sponsors. The father o f one o f our orphans, Son Jung Soon, died o f disease when she was only three. Her mother died the following year. Neighbors cared for her temporarily before bringing her and two sisters to our Home in Pusan. The parents o f Yoon Yang Won were both lost at sea when their small boat sank in a storm. He and his sister were kept by neighbors for several
weeks and then brought to us. YOUR LIFE WILL BE ENRICHED The orphan you select will know you as sponsor. You will receive the child’s picture, address and life story. Letters and parcels may be sent and will be acknowledged promptly in English. Sponsors are THR ILLED and BLESSED by this personal con tact. Ask a friend or relative to share a sponsorship with you—only $5 each—or interest your Sunday school or other group.
