about college

atmosphere?

When you think about college there are things to consider. You want a good education. And that means academic excellence. But that’s not a l l . . . a good education means interaction and involvement on your own level — doing what you enjoy more than anything else. For some that has to mean athletics. And if that includes you, consider Biola College. Are you a wrestler? Our team is ranked nationally. Top men from all over the U.S. come to Biola to wrestle. Do you play basketball? Our team is young, but with three all-state stars we stand to be tough. How about baseball, soccer, cross coun­ try, track, tennis? We could say much

more. But why don’t you write us? And remember Biola is a distinctly Christian institution, where high spirited standards and excellent Bible courses are part of every student’s life.

“ A Message from the E d ito r”

BY DR. SAMUEL H. SUTHERLAND / PRESIDENT, BIOLA SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES, INC.

What are we coming to ? T he January 1970 issue o f Fi-Po News (Fire and Police Research Association o f Los Angeles) reveals a most revo lting situa tion which exists in Southern C a lifornia . P resumably it is ta k in g place in o the r urban areas o f o u r coun try as well. An a rtic le in th is p u b li­ cation describes a gala event which too k place in the home o f moving p ic tu re and TV star, Dean M artin . Over 3 0 0 guests gathered fo r th is occasion; th e entrance fee was a donation o f $ 1 ,0 0 0 .0 0 per couple. In th is way over $ 2 0 0 ,0 0 0 .0 0 was raised. For what purpose? Charity, medical research, deprived ch ild ren , s u ffe rin g humanity? C e rta in ly not! The purpose o f the ga the rin g was to assist in fu n d in g “ the costs o f the American C ivil L iberties Union Police Practice Complain t Cen­ te rs " ! These centers have been created w ith th e ir personnel acting in th e role o f “ w a tchdog” over ou r police! A selected lis t o f ACLU a tto rne ys are constan tly available to ca rry on legal ba ttles aga inst the o ffice rs o f the law in cases o f alleged “ police b ru ta lity " o r “ police harassm ent.” The a rtic le concludes w ith th is in cred ib le statement: “ The cop on the beat m ust be ever m ind fu l o f th e well-organized and highly-financed endeavors o f those like the ACLU who are standing by, ready to challenge his every action as he a ttem p ts to perform his du tie s o f en fo rc ing th e law. Yes, th a t cop on the beat is also fu lly aware th a t w h ile the re are centers set up to so lic it anti-police in fo rm a tion , he w ill not fin d any coun te rpa rt centers handing him commendations o r supp o rtin g him in his a c tio n s .” The tra ve s ty o f th e whole business is th a t these ACLU atto rneys are looked upon w ith fa vo r by many judges in ou r land. O f course, th e news media are on ly too happy to get te s tim on y from these a tto rneys so they can give them extended coverage in newspapers, radio, and television. The police ra re ly have o p p o rtu n ity to present th e ir side. W ith th is ho rrib le fa c t in m ind one wonders why any young man would be in ­ terested in becom ing a lawman, a peace o ffice r, in th is coun try. O ur hats are o ff to those courageous ones who, know ing these hazards, jo in us to “ PROTECT AND SERVE” * us all!

To re tu rn to the gala at the M a rtin home: Ano the r amazing fa c t was th e lis t o f those in attendance. Heading the lis t a t th is ACLU fund -ra is ing pa rty was U.S. Senator Alan Cranston (D -Californ ia). An­ o the r prom inen t po litica l fig u re was Councilman Thomas Bradley, de­ feated cand ida te in the recent Los Angeles m ayoralty election. In view o f his supp o rt o f th is kind o f th ing , one shudders to th in k how close he came to being elected! Why th e J u n io r Senator from Ca li­ fo rn ia would pay $ 1 ,0 0 0 .0 0 in to such a slush fund fo r the express purpose o f d is c re d itin g the police who are hired to p ro tect not only the state, city, and towns b u t also his home, his person, his loved ones is too d iffic u lt to understand. What would he have to say if some n ig h t his home was broken in to and his fam ily molested, while the police stood id ly by fo r fea r o f being accused o f “ police b ru ta lity " *T h e slogan which appears on all police cars.

fo r in te rfe rin g w ith those who were de sp o iling th e Senator’s home? It is in cred ib le th a t th is is the type o f ind ividua l C a lifo rn ia voters sent to Washington to represent them on the national scene. His vo ting record there po in ts to th e fa c t th a t th is re la tionsh ip w ith ACLU was not a mere “ happenstance.” It is tra g ic th a t fo u r years m ust elapse before he m ust face th e voters again in an appeal fo r re-election. We tru s t th is episode w ill no t be fo rgo tten when the citizens enter the p o lling booth a t th a t election. Not only were p rom inen t p o litic ia n s present on th is p a rticu la r occasion b u t also actors and actresses, whose names are household words due to th e ir TV shows, were likew ise present in large numbers. Among them were Polly Bergen, M ilton Berle, Joey Bishop, Tony Cur­ tis , K irk Douglas, B u rt Lancaster, some o f the S inatra trib e , Andy W illiam s and others. A ll paid $ 1 ,0 0 0 .0 0 each toward a fund estab­ lished fo r th e express purpose o f in tim id a tin g the police in th e ir e ffo rts to m a intain law and order; to hire cra fty, unscrupu lous lawyers to defend the lawless element whenever these characters fa ll in to the clu tches o f the law. To th in k th a t these show-business persona lities are the idols o f o u r American youth— and o f many o f th e ad u lts as well! As a m a tte r o f fact, the whole moving pictu re in d u s try is shot th rough and th ro ugh w ith those who want to see our American way o f life changed com plete ly to conform to th e ir comm u n is tic ideology and gu tte r-like type o f m o ra lity. These are the ones who go ju s t as fa r as the y dare in de p ic tin g sin, vice, co rru p tion , and im m o ra lity— not to condemn it— bu t fo r en te rta inm en t, and fo r appeal on ly and exclusively to the p ru rie n t interests and lusts o f a s p iritu a lly and m o ra lly decadent pub lic. Yet the most tra g ic aspect o f all o f th is is th a t so many otherw ise good, solid, law -abiding C h ristian American citizens aid and abe t th is kind o f life by sup p o rtin g th e movies and a llow ing tra sh y TV program s to have a place in th e ir homes. In these shows these anti-American characters are featured and no th ing is ever done o r said about the m atter. No voices are raised in protest; no demands are made o f pastors th a t sermons be preached against these social and moral evils. These people do not cast th e ir votes aga inst th e p o litic ia n s who are tea rin g down ou r mores and standards no r do the y vote to reject members o f the ju d ic ia ry who have an ou tspokenly perm issive a tti­ tude toward lawlessness, lawbreakers, and th e de file rs o f o u r land. Some w ill vote th e pa rty line whoever runs. A generation ago, one citizen said he was a Republican and if the devil ran on th a t tic ke t, he would vote fo r him ; th is was repeated by a Democrat, who n a tu ra l­ ly pu t his pa rty firs t. It figures! We believe the re is a great s ile n t m a jo rity o f good, solid Am e ri­ cans who believe a righ t, from a moral po in t o f view. If on ly we could un ite and make o u r concerted e ffo rts coun t fo r th e utmost, perhaps we m igh t s till tu rn back th e forces o f evil. The hou r is late; tim e is runn ing out in which such a reversal can be accomplished. But there comes to m ind the te rrify in g th o u g h t th a t unless th is right-about- face takes place very soon, laws may be enacted which w ill deprive us com plete ly o f o u r re lig ious freedoms. We shall wake up some m o rn ing and not be able to enjoy th e lib e rty which cost so much in blood and sweat and tears o f the p a trio ts who came before us. God g ran t it may never happen bu t le t us awake o u t o f ou r fa ta l sleep!

Loving Father by Mizpah Woffenden Loving Father, holy, gra­ cious! As I kneel to seek Thy face, May I bow in deep contri­ tion, L ean ing only on Thy grace. Loving counsel hast Thou given, In Thy Word, for me to see; May my footsteps follow only, In Thy way laid out for me. Loving Father, may I ever, Keep my heart for Thy de­ light; May I trust for my sustain­ ing, In Thy holy power and might. Abba, Father, gracious, ten­ der; Hear the child, Thy love hath bought; Cleanse me, mold me, guide me, keep me; Make me love Thee as I ought. THAT LITTLE CHAP WHO FOLLOWS ME A careful man, I want to be; A little fellow follows me. I do not dare to go astray, For fear he'll go the self-same way. I cannot once escape his eyes; Whatever he sees me do, he tries. Like me, he says he going to be, That little chap who follows me. He thinks that I am good and fine, Believes in every word of mine. The bad in me, he must not see; M y life must an example be. I must remember, as I go Through summer's sun and winter's snow, I am building for the years to be, That little chap who follows me. Psalms 37:23-24. Romans 8:14-17

A num ber o f years ago, when Los Angeles fir s t became the c u lt center o f th e U.S.A., some­ one wrote: “ A ll it takes to s ta rt a re ligion is to w rap a tu rb an about one’s head and s it in the sun under a palm tre e w ith a book.” Appa r­ e n tly it is not much ha rder today to found a c u lt o r to become a m in ­ is te r o f one, according to an a rti­ cle in “ T im e " magazine, 2 /2 1 /6 9 , en titled “ Mail - O rder M in is te rs ” * from which we quo te by pe rm is­ sion: “ All a candidate needs is a postage stamp. Any man, woman or ch ild can become a m in is te r in the Universal Life Church. The only th in g th a t Hensley [w ho founded th is c u lt in 1962 a t Modesto, C a li­ fo rn ia ] demands is a name and ad­ dress so th a t he can fill ou t the ce r­ tific a te . A fte r tha t, the new m in is ­ te r is on his own. In C a lifo rn ia , and according to Hensley, in many o th ­ er states, he can pe rform marriages ( if he is over 21 ), o ffic ia te a t fu n e r­ als, dedicate churches, baptize, take up co llections and ordain o th ­ er m in is te rs .” Founder K irby James Hensley cla im s a m embersh ip o f 18 ,000 and 1,000 m in iste rs. A lthough he cannot read o r w rite , he possesses

a m a il-o rde r Ph.D. and an honorary degree in m e ta llu rg y and makes a liv in g as con tracto r. “ T im e " quotes him : “ My w ife and o the r people read the verses to me, and I would m em b rize them ; I have a good mem- bry . . . I membrized the B ible from Genesis all th e way th rough , and then I realized I was only he lping Peter, Paul and John to preach th e ir story. I had my ideas to preach too . . . I believe heaven is when you have what you want and hell is when you do n ’t have it . . . I be­ lieve in reinca rna tion, an eternal beam in you r body th a t moves from one to another. I believe th a t death is no th ing more than a lapse o f m emb ry from one life to the next. I believe th a t Jesus C h ris t was a human being ju s t like me and you w ith a little advanced knowledge. He was the Son o f Man, g it me?” He most ce rta in ly d id depa rt from the Gospel th a t Peter, Paul and John preached in the Word o f God! Meantime he continues m e rrily on his taxfree way, having complied w ith requirem ents o f incorpora tion and church charter, issu ing even D.D. degrees fo r $ 2 0 .0 0 each! *Courte$y TIME; copyright Time Inc. 1969.

th a t is really o u r o p p o rtun ity to w it­ ness to them o f ou r Saviour. FIRST PROMISE OF THE CROSS? Q. Does Genesis 3 :1 5 re fe r to C h ris t’s com ing as a Saviour? Does it describe th e c o n flic t between the devil and God? A. Yes, to both questions. God spoke to the serpent, pronouncing upon him the curse, o f which a pa rt was th is : “ I w ill put enm ity between thee and th e w om an ." Now, o f course, the serpent was bu t a tool o f Satan. It was the devil who was speaking. Satan is the enemy o f C h ris t and o f every C h ris­ tian ; he is called “ o u r adversary, th e d e v il” (I Peter 5 :8 ). He is ever seeking to tu rn man from th e w o r­ sh ip o f God to h im se lf. Even the beast, who was used by Satan, is hostile to man, h issing a t him and b itin g him and c ru sh ing him when possible. No one likes snakes. But the real hatred discussed in Gene­ sis is th a t between “ th a t old ser­ pent, the d e v il” (Rev. 2 0 :2 ), and C h rist and His servant, man. Note th e words: “ And between th y seed and her seed ." Here the seed o f the woman is none other than o u r Lord Jesus C h rist. This is the very fir s t prophecy o f His v ir ­ gin b irth . In many passages He is called “ th e seed,” meaning the prom ised Son o f Man. Jesus C h rist was in very tru th “ the seed o f the w om an ," not o f man; fo r He had no human fa the r. Now Satan hates Christ, seeks in every way to thw a rt His great purpose fo r man, sought to tu rn the w o rship o f C h ris t to him se lf, b u t fa iled to obtain it. In every p a rtic u la r the re is enm ity be­ tween ou r sinless Saviour and the arch-enemy o f our souls. Ephesians 6 :1 2 describes th e kingdom o f Satan and his demons who w ith ­ stand th e C h ristian and in th a t chap te r ou r a rm o r aga inst him is delineated. T h is we m ust put on daily. G e n e s is 3 :1 5 s t a t e s : “ He [C h ris t] shall bruise th y head [God here was speaking to the ser­ p en t] and thou sha lt bruise his [C h ris t's ] hee l.” The head is the seat o f government. Po ten tially TH E K ING ’S BUSINESS

Ephesians 2 :8 -9 states: “ For by grace are ye saved th rough fa ith ; and th a t not o f yourselves; it is the g ift o f God; Not o f works, lest any man should boa st.” Read very care­ fu lly Romans, th e 10th chapter, and note p a rtic u la rly verse 4 : “ For C h rist is the end o f the law fo r righteousness to everyone th a t be- lie ve th .” When we are saved by fa ith in th e Son o f God, tu rn ou r lives over to Him, re lying upon Him com plete ly fo r salvation, we are born again; we become new crea­ tu re s in C h rist, and by the Holy S p irit are able to fu lfill the law, in fact, go fa r beyond it, fo r we then live by the S p irit o f life in Ch rist Jesus. COMPLETE SEPARATION POSSIBLE? Q. Please explain I C o rinth ians 5:9, 10, especially the last clause which is puzzling to me. It sounds as if com plete separation from the world was not possible fo r the Ch ristian. A. It does not teach any th ing o f the kind. The Word o f God is fu ll o f commands to separate ourselves from the sins o f th e world and its way o f life. Take I John 2 :15, fo r instance: “ Love not the wo rld, ne i­ th e r th e th in g s th a t are in the world. If any man love the world, th e love o f the Father is •not in h im .” In th is le tte r to the C o rin th i­ ans, Paul is exho rting C h ristians to live separated from the world but he is very practical. He makes it plain they are not to engage in the evils o f the wo rld; to be in tim a te w ith fo rn ica to rs , covetous, ex to r­ tione rs, idolaters, etc. Especially does he deal w ith professing C h ris­ tian s who live evil lives and states th a t the believer m ust not “ keep company” w ith them . But the clause you refe rred to makes it pos­ sible fo r C h ristians to ca rry on business dealings w ith unsaved people; otherw ise he says tru ly “ fo r then [ i f you do n o t] m ust ye needs go out o f the w o rld ." We do not re­ fuse to buy bread and meat, o r go to doctors o r den tists, who are not saved, although we would p re fe r to ; da ily we deal w ith th e unsaved and

Q U E S T IO N B O X

BELIEVING AND DOING Q. How do you harmonize the fa c t th a t we can do no th ing to be saved w ith Romans 2 :13 : “ Not the hear­ ers o f the law are ju s t before God, but the doers o f the law shall be ju s tifie d ” ? A. When Paul w rote these words, under th e guidance o f the Holy S p irit, he was addressing people who appa ren tly believed as you do. They were tru s tin g in th e law fo r th e ir salvation. They gloried in the fa c t th a t it was given to them . Yet the very law condemned everyone o f them . They d id not— could not — keep it. Paul rem inded them th a t if they expected to be saved by the law, they had to keep it, not merely hear it, which the y were not doing. Paul makes clea r the m a tte r o f salvation in Romans 3 :19 , 20: "N ow we know th a t whatsoever the law saith, it saith to them who are under th e law: th a t every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become g u ilty before God. Therefore by th e deeds o f the law the re shall no flesh be ju s tifie d in his sight; fo r by the law is the know ledge o f s in .” All the law could do was to condemn the sinner, and d rive him to the Saviour. 8

C h rist bruised Satan's “ head” when He died and rose again, thu s a ccom p lish ing His redemptive work fo r m ankind, and lite ra lly He w ill seal Satan’s doom fo re ve r when He casts him in to th e lake o f fire “ to be to rm en ted day and n igh t fo r­ ever and ever” (Rev. 20 :1 0 ). Satan d id bruise C h ris t’s “ heel” on the cross, when Jesus suffe red and died. But death could not hold Him and some day H is to ta l v ic to ry over sin and Satan and death w ill be manifested.

M ISS JOY RIDDERHOF . . . M issionary to Hon­ duras. Founder and D irector o f Gospel Record­ ings. And every tongue shall confess th a t Jesus Ch rist is Lord, to the g lo ry o f God the Father (Ph ilipp ia n s 2:11, Living Letters). “ You a m issionary?" M r. R idderhof laughed be­ n ign ly a t his youngest daughter. “ Joy, da rling , be rea­ sonable!” Mr. R idderhof tu rn ed to the v is itin g Quaker m is ­ sionary and explained, “ Our Joy is much too fun -lo v ­ ing and im p ractica l to be a m issionary. But you m ust meet o u r daugh te r Amy. What a fine m issionary she’ ll make!” Joy R idderhof got the same reaction from her school friend s . "Y ou in A frica?” they would chortle. "O h , Joy, y ou ’ re a fra id o f a frog . You’d never be able to live in A frica, w ith w itch doctors and lions and py­ th o n s .” They were righ t, Joy adm itted sadly. Her o lder s is te r Amy had all the qua lifica tion s fo r m issionary service. Joy could not do much o f anything. S till, she clung w is tfu lly to th e dream o f serving God in A frica. Joy’s dream was born as she listened to a m is ­ sionary message when she was ju s t five years old. A woman spoke about the needs o f Honduras, and lit­ tle Joy w ished th a t some day she m igh t go and te ll fo re ign people abou t God. The stream o f m issionaries v is itin g in the R idder­ hof home in Los Angeles kept Joy’s dream alive and interested her p a rtic u la rly in Ethiopia and the Sudan. Joy attended Bible school, spent two years in practical church w o rk in M iam i, and completed a de­ gree in professional education a t U.C.L.A. In the s p ring o f 1930, M iss R idderhof was ready to go to the m ission fie ld . Tha t sp ring very few Americans were going any­ where, except bankrup t. But Joy's God was not bank­ rupt. He sent her fir s t to the very parish in Honduras whose needs had fir s t aroused her compassion. There the g irl who was “ too im p ra c tic a l” to be a m issionary survived two revolu tions and constan t per­ secution w ith the trium p h a n t testim on y th a t “ Fierce battles lead to g lo rious v ic to rie s .” Too sick to return to Honduras a fte r her fir s t te rm , Joy seized pick and shovel, hammer and nails, and tu rned a d irt-flo o re d Los Angeles stable in to a snug recording studio. The g irl who “ co u ld n ’t do an y th in g ” mastered the te chn ica litie s o f the fin e s t recording equ ipm ent. She traveled from Alaskan igloos to stone-age New Guinea, recording the Gospel message in the languages of illite ra te tribes. The c h ild who was a fra id o f frog s grew up to

spend a year in the P h ilipp ine jungles. In th e shan­ tie s o f brown-skinned natives, she endured gekko liz­ ards and monsoon rains. The g irl who was “ too im p ra c tic a l” to be a m is ­ sionary now d ire c ts a recording studio, pressing and processing plants, and a phonograph fa c to ry in Los Angeles. She supervises a hundred workers, oversees branch officves in six coun tries, and tra in s and directs fie ld workers. “ It is good,” Joy adm its, “ I did not know in the beg inning how vast th e ta sk was to be bu t I d id know th a t God had pledged His Word. Of Abraham he said, ‘ But Abraham never doubted. He believed God, fo r his fa ith and tru s t were strong, and he praised God fo r th is blessing before it even happened. He was com plete ly sure th a t God was well able to do any­ th in g He prom ised, (Rom. 4:20, 21, Living Letters). Could I not accept th is inheritance too?” Through five m illio n w h irlin g discs in over th re e thousand languages and dialects, Joy R idde rho f's fa ith speaks to th e wo rld. Testim onies to new life th ro ugh th e recorded message pour onto her Los An­ geles desk d a ily from th e fo u r corners o f the earth. What tu rn ed th e w is tfu l R idderhof g irl in to a wom ­ an o f vic to riou s faith? In th ree stages Joy recounts the experiences th a t led to th e fo un d ing o f Gospel Recordings: The healing o f her d ispo s ition ; The fo l­ low -through o f obedience; The secret o f rejoicing. Her frien d s and fam ily good-naturedly disparaged her m issionary ideals. Bu t th a t d id not bother school­ g irl Joy too much. She was not pa rtic u la rly concerned abou t her lack o f a b ility o r a dap tab ility . One th in g tro u b le d her— her d isposition . Joy set high standards. M issionaries m ust be v ic ­ to rio u s C h ristians in every-day life , especially in th e ir homes. Joy knew she d id not qua lify. “ I wanted to be good ,” she says, “ bu t I was w ill­ fu l. I was often cranky and cross. I was selfish, very c ritic a l, easily aggravated. I fussed a t my m other and blamed her fo r th ing s th a t we ren’t her fa u lt. The man­ ners o f my b rothers and siste rs annoyed and em ba r­ rassed me. I qua rreled w ith Amy, my closest s is te r.” To the Friends' m eeting th a t the R idderhofs a t­ tended in Los Angeles the re came old-fashioned fie ry evangelists who preached the ve ritie s o f sin, o f rig h t­ eousness, and o f judgm en t; “ . . . one who is not holy w ill not see th e Lo rd ” (Hebrews 12:14, Living Letters), the y thunde red . The te x t dug deeply in to Joy’s consciousness and convicted her o f need in the give and ta ke o f da ily living. Impatience, sho rt temper, irrita tio n — were these normal tra its fo r a c h ild o f God? “ You don ’t act like a C h ris tia n ,” said Joy in d ig ­ nan tly one day, app ly ing her high standa rds to her

fa ll over a steep precipice and be lost if I did, bu t the word trust rescued me. I tru s ted th a t God’s arm s re­ ceived me, th a t H is S p irit had taken c o n tro l.” For Joy R idderhof, su rre nde r was an act o f the w ill, not an em otional experience. In th e fo llow ing months, as she watched God tu rn her in to the kind o f person she fe lt a m issionary should be, her heart fille d w ith gladness. M iss R idderhof likes to say th a t life began fo r her then. Imm ediately ahead o f her lay seven years o f tra in in g and patience and then a c ris is o f decision about her m issionary call. Several th in g s in those years could have held Joy back from m issionary service. A man she loved p ro ­ posed to her. She tu rned him down because o f her m issionary comm itm en t. S till, the desire to have a home and fam ily pulled strongly. Later the frien d sh ip was renewed. Because Joy had no imm ediate plans fo r going to fie ld , she decided to say “ Y e s " to him but was prevented in the s im p lest possible way. He never “ popped” the question again! For two years Joy d id church w o rk in M iam i. In a fast-grow ing comm unity, she saw much fr u it among needy people. Lives were tran sfo rm ed . Prayers were answered. Young people were steered in to Christian service. Should Joy remain in Florida and continue to serve God there? Perhaps some o f the young peo­ ple she influenced would become m issionaries in her place. Bu t fam ily needs in Los Angeles recalled Joy to the West Coast. There she tu rn ed her face once more towards A frica as she set to work to com plete her studies a t U.C.L.A. fo r a teache r's credentia l. About to graduate, Joy looked around fo r m ission ­ ary openings. There were none. The depression had closed the doors. M issions were conside ring re tren ch ­ ment. What should she do? She had already bypassed m arriage and a successful m in is try in M iam i. Joy possessed a b rillia n t m ind. Her high grades and recommendations b rough t her an in v ita tion to teach in th e Los Angeles school system. She was de­ lighted. She could earn a com fo rtab le salary in spite o f the depression. She could save money fo r her m is ­ sionary o u tfit and she could help pay her own way to A frica. When a college B ible class teacher asked Joy what she planned to do a fte r gradua tion, Joy to ld her, “ I’m going to teach fo r a year o r two and then app ly to the Sudan In te rio r M ission o r A frica Inland M ission .” The teache r looked a t Joy in su rp rise and said, “ But you know the tim e is s h o rt.” Joy went home and faced the m atter. She prayed, “ Lord, if You want me to go abroad now, show me an

“ N e ithe r do y o u ," reto rted Amy. “ No, bu t I expect to when I’m you r age.”

Yet Joy was no be tte r as she grew older. She d is ­ appointed herself daily. Was she to rtu rin g her con­ science unnecessarily? Going outside the Quaker fe l­ lowship, Joy found preachers who to ld her she could never expect anyth ing more in th is life than daily defeats. Outside o f her home, Joy seemed a model C h ris ­ tian . She invited her schoolmates to church youth classes and attended the meetings fa ith fu lly herself. She never le t down the s tric t standards o f her home and church. She was active in a ll sorts o f Christian Endeavor, stree t meetings and c ity m issions. As soon as she enrolled at U.C.L.A., she hunted up o the r C h ristians and found a prayer group th a t met every m orning. Joy made it her p rim a ry ob liga tion in life to attend those 7 :45 a.m. prayer meetings each day. The need to w itness fo r C h ris t rested heavily upon her, and she forced herself to speak to other students about her Saviour. C h ris tia n ity fo r Joy R idderhof, college freshman, age twenty, was a lis t o f a rb itra ry negatives and a parallel lis t o f arduous obliga tions. Ever w ith her was th e nagging consciousness o f her fa ilu re s at home. Surrender? Of course, the solution was to su rren ­ de r her life com plete ly to God. Joy trie d it . . . no re­ su lt. She went on praying, fre ttin g , hungering. Du ring fin a ls week, Joy was drawn away from her anxieties about her grades by a conference a t the Friends church. Dr. R. C. McQuilken was scheduled to speak on “ The V icto rious L ife ,” basing his messages upon the book o f Romans. If the subject b rough t M iss R idderhof to the firs t meeting, the speaker kept her com ing. The assurance in his voice, the radiance on his face, the freedom and joy o f his s p irit gave a ring o f rea lity to his words. “ What a s u rp ris e !” says Joy, de sc rib ing the im ­ pact o f those sermons. “ Instead o f ha rp ing on the sins o f anger o r bad tem per, he bore down hard on the w o rst o f my defeats— worry. ‘Worry is a s in ,' he would say. " I was undone. W ith all my s p iritu a l inadequacy I had thoug h t th a t a t least my concern fo r my own cond ition was commendable. But now I saw it fo r what it was— w o rry— a slap in the face o f a loving, a ll-powe rful God. No wonder my a ttem p ts a t su rre n ­ der h a d n 't worked. I’d never surrendered my righ t to fuss over my own s p iritu a l life .” S ittin g in the church, hearing the words “ su rre n ­ d e r” and “ tr u s t," Joy a t last let go o f her own e ffo rts to live like a C h ristian. “ It seemed as though I would

open doo r before the date o f en te ring in to my con­ ta c t w ith th e c ity schools. If You w ill give me an open­ ing, I’ ll go to the m ission fie ld ." O f course, Joy meant she would go to A frica. Several days later, a member o f her church asked M iss R idderhof if she would be interested in w o rk ­ ing in Honduras under the Quaker M ission Board. A needy post was em pty there. “ I was shocked,” recalls Joy. “ I a lm os t fe lt like Jephthah w ith my rash vow. I was caug h t.” Joy R idderhof fe lt no pull toward Latin America. As a little g irl, she had been a fra id o f Mexicans and would cross the stree t to avoid them in Los Angeles. She d id not know any o f the m issionaries in the Quaker wo rk in Honduras. Besides, she planned to apply to one o f the in terdenom inational fa ith m is ­ sions. Though the y attended a Friends church, the R idderhofs had never iden tified w ith the denom ina­ tion. Joy’s hea rt was heavy. A strange coun try, s tra n ­ gers to work w ith , a denom ination to serve, and o f all fie ld s , Latin America! But in the face o f her prom ise to God, how could she refuse? “ I waited before the W ord,” says M iss R idderhof. “ I hoped in the S crip tu re to fin d some ‘o u t’ o r else some very clear command to go. But no special mes­ sage was given me, ju s t the general im pact o f the Great Comm ission. I d id n ’t fin d any th ing to bolste r up my resistance or to urge me fo rw a rd .” Her prom ise to God, her realization th a t “ the tim e is sh o rt,” and the plain tea ch ing o f S crip ture caused Joy to accept th e appo in tm en t o f the Friends m ission to Honduras. There her tim e was indeed short, and opposition faced her a t every tu rn . In a remote h ill town, she worked w ith ju s t one Ch ristian companion, an illite r ­ ate native g irl. The Roman Catholic village p riest spared no e ffo rt to destroy her work and get rid of the Protestants. Political upheaval, p rim itiv e liv in g cond ition s, and extreme personal danger to o k th e ir to ll. Joy caught a trop ica l fever. But how could she leave th is little town where she had seen such m iracle s o f grace? She had seen lives changed by th e Gospel; she had been rescued again and again from imm inen t danger. She stood by the death beds o f those who had ju s t tu rn ed to C h rist fo r salvation. She watched helplessly as young be­ lievers were swept away in to revo lu tiona ry activities. She heard the testim on ie s o f new C h ristians who blessed God w ith all the words at th e ir command. The tim e was sho rt; the w o rk ju s t beginning. In the excitemen t o f service, Joy ha rdly realized the cond ition o f her own health.

Back in Los Angeles fo r a belated fu rlough , Joy yearned fo r the needy in the h ills o f Honduras. A year wasted away and s till she lay in her a ttic room . The tro p ica l disease was stubborn. Seeing no immediate prospect o f sending M iss R idderhof back to th e fie ld , the m ission board dropped her support. Lying the re weak, penniless, w ith the desire o f her heart closed to her, Joy faced what she ca lls her “ re jo icing c ris is .” God had been good to her, she rem inded herself. He had lifte d from her the burden o f a w illfu l tem p e ra ­ ment. He had given her grace to fo llow th rough on her m issionary comm itm en t. He had allowed her six intense, fru itfu l years in Honduras. The way had not been easy, b u t happiness had always followed obe­ dience. “ I a t la s t woke up to th e fa c t th a t even on my sick bed I m ust rejoice. God could use me rig h t the re in my g a rre t as well as on the m ission fie ld . If I would wait, w ith rejoicing, fa ith , and expectation, God would w o rk in some g rea te r way to reach th e unreached in Honduras.” Thus Gospel Recordings was born. Convalescing Joy c u t a record in Spanish fo r use back in Honduras. The a ttic became an o ffic e where s c rip ts were pre­ pared. H ig h -fid e lity equ ipm ent, technical aid, finances, appeared as if on cue. By the tim e Joy’s health would pe rm it her to go abroad, m issionaries to o the r coun tries had begun asking fo r Gospel records. Joy hesitated. How she longed to retu rn to Honduras! Bu t God said to her, " I have o the r sheep, too, in ano the r fo ld . I m ust b rin g them also . .. .” (John 10:16, Living Gospels). M illio n s around the w o rld had no m issionary who knew th e ir language and no B ib le to read. Joy p rom ­ ised God th a t she would make records in any lan ­ guage o r d ia le c t fo r which He would help her fin d speakers and tran s la to rs . Rejoicing as each new doo r opened, Joy R idder­ hof and her team moved fo rw ard. To the Navaho firs t, then the Mexican Indians, and the Alaskan Eski­ mos; to ninety-two F ilip ino trib a l groups, naked Aus­ tra lia n aborigines, and on to Ethiopia, the Congo, and th e Sudan. S imple Gospel messages have been recorded in over th ree thousand languages and new d ialec ts are added each week. The m issionary fa ith o f a g irl who has never o u t­ grown being “ too im p ra c tic a l” reaches ahead to th e day when "e v e ry tongue shall confess th a t Jesus C h ris t is L o rd ” (P h ilip p ia n s 2 :1 1 ).

by Peggy Sanders O n January 8, 1970, P resident R ichard Nixon de­ parted from his home in San Clemente, C a lifo r­ nia, and headed by he licop te r fo r El Toro Marine Base where A ir Force One awaited the P resident and his pa rty fo r the tr ip back to Washington, D.C. A lso aw a iting the P resident, however, was a small group o f representatives from the B a p tis t Youth As­ sociation o f Southern C a lifo rn ia . Finding a unique way to present the message o f Jesus Ch rist, these young people had received special perm ission to meet w ith the P resident before his depa rtu re and to present to him th ree plaques as an “ expression o f app reciation fo r his d ig n ifie d and God-honoring” leadership o f the country. When the P residential pa rty had landed and p re ­ lim in a ry in trodu c tion s were over, the P resident lis ­ tened in ten tly as Kathy Dussault o f Bethel Baptist Church in Torrance, began th e presentation by hand­ ing M r. Nixon a scro ll bearing the signature s o f six hundred B aptist youths who could not attend, but who w ished to express “ th e ir be lie f in God and loyal­ ty to Am e rica .” John Burgess, First B ap tist Church o f El Monte, then presented to th e P resident a plaque bea ring the photo “ Ea rth rise ” taken from Apollo 8. Below the photo was inscribed the quo ta tion “ In the beginning God . . .” from the Scrip tu re read from space by Astronauts Borman, Lovell and Anders on Christm as eve, 1968. John explained to M r. Nixon th a t th is plaque represented the app reciation o f his fe llow Bap tist youth fo r the reading o f th is S crip tu re and th a t it was a con firm a tion o f the g roup ’s be lie f th a t the B ib lica l account o f Creation deserved recognition. Tim Robertson, from Calvary B ap tist Tabernacle in Gardena, followed John by exp la in ing to the Presi­ den t th a t the young people he represented believe th a t “ accom plishm ents in space have been realized because o f th e in te lligence and resources which God the C reator has given to m an.” To emphasize th is fa c t and to place space exploration in its proper per­ spective, Tim gave the P resident a second plaque th a t ca rried a photo o f m an's fir s t “ m oonwalk,” ac­ companied by the inspired words o f Psalm 8 :3 : “ When I consider th y heavens, the wo rk o f th y finge rs, the moon and the stars which thou hast ordained: What is man th a t thou a rt m ind fu l o f him?”

The th ird plaque was presented to the P resident by C raig Heaps from the B ible B ap tist Church in H un ting ton Park. Below a photo o f the earth seen from space, were im p rin ted the words from Job 26:7: “ He stre tche th out the North over the em pty place, and hangeth the earth upon n o th in g .” C raig ex­ plained to the P resident th a t in view o f many old s c ie n tific teachings, th is ancient quo tation from the oldest book o f the B ible contains amazing in s igh t in to the workings o f the universe and “ is considered to be a unique te s tim on y to th e tru th fu ln e s s and accuracy o f the B ib le .” As M r. Nixon w a rm ly responded to each repre­ sentative, he read aloud over the m icrophones o f the news media, the words w ritten on each plaque. In a le tte r given to the President, the young people also stated th e ir supp o rt o f th e P resident in his “ con ­ tin u in g e ffo rts to achieve an honorable and la s ting peace,” and th e ir recommendation o f Jesus Ch rist, the Prince o f Peace, as the answer to th e grave problem s faced by o u r coun try and th e world. For Kathy, Tim , Criag, and John the o p p o rtun ity to meet and speak w ith the P resident o f the U.S. was indeed a rare privilege, and the th r ill o f a life ­ tim e . For Tim , January 8 th held special im portance as he received news, a fte r m eeting the President, o f his election as S tudent Body P resident o f his high school. M r. David N icholas, BYA D irector, who also ac­ companied the group, la te r received a personal le tte r from Lt. Commander Charles Larson, Naval Aide to the President, comm ending the g roup 's action and fa ith . Another le tte r was received from th e P resident o f the United States h im se lf which stated: “ I want to express my thanks to you and the members o f the B ap tist Youth Association o f South­ ern C a lifo rn ia once again fo r the lam inated plaques and scroll pe rta in ing to th e Apollo M ission th a t you presented to me.

For in search­ ing fo r a unique way to present the cla im s o f Christ, the Name o f Jesus C h rist and His g lo ry was p ro ­ claimed nationw ide by a group o f dedicated, believ­ ing teenagers.
