DO YOU HAVE 1300, 1500 or 11,000?

This will interest YOU . . . Our field representatives meet Christian men and women quite frequently who are looking for places to invest their money. Most of them need a return on their savings. Some are considering investments in stocks. But because of their limited knowledge of stocks and bonds, they are reluctant to buy. Others hesitate because of market fluctua­ tions, uncertainty of dividends, etc. And some tell us of disappointing experi­ ences on their investments. * * * Without exception, a ll are looking for security . . . a guarantee that they will be as­ sured of a generous income. Something they can count on as long as they live . . . in good times or bad . . . regardless of whether the stock market is up or down. But they’re interested in something else, too. ♦ ♦ ♦ You should see their faces light u p . . . when we tell them about the DOUBLE DIVIDENDS provided by Moody Annuities. When we tell them that Moody Annuities assure them of a generous, guaranteed income as long as they live (up to 8 V a % depending on their age) . . . plus a share in the Lord’s work . . . they’re overjoyed! And when we tell them that every annuity is backed by all the resources of Moody Bible Institute, and that M B I has never missed a single payment in almost 50 years . . . they are convinced that it’s the plan for them!

Worldliness (cont'd)

Sirs: I was particularly pleased with “The Christian and Worldliness” in the November issue. The emphasis against the establishment of “lists” is necessary in evangelical circles. Perhaps you could have gone a little further and been bold by in- eluding an analysis of some of the typical items on such lists. Is it not possible for someone to either smoke, go to shows or even dance and still have a more genuine “spir­ ituality” than we are so quick to attribute to ourselves? For my part I think so. I would say therefore that your article is a good start in the right direction, but even more probing thinking is needed. Little mention was made of TV by the author. Why? The latter entertainment has been swallowed wholesale by fundamentalists in general with little discernment. This is, of course, a drastic contra­ diction. It reveals the shallowness of our so-called “separation” and our complete misunderstanding of the whole concept of worldliness. Mr. Stedman has done some sharp thinking and I am thankful for his article. However, we need to go further if we are ever going to shake up the stagnation and dol­ drums of fundamentalist thinking on worldliness. Such a step might lose a lot of subscriptions, but it would advance the cause of Christ in this present evil world. St. Paul, Minn. L. van Heerden, Manager Bethel Book Store Because o f the great number of requests fo r Rev. Stedman’s article on “T h e Christian and Worldli­ ness” w e have placed it into booklet form . It is 32 pages with an attrac­ tive two-color cover. Price is 10c ea ch , postpaid. — ED.
