THEIR FATHER A LEPER! "Every day three little children, poor and in rags, run to the gate of the leper home in Athens, Greece, and plead with the gatekeeper to call their father so that they may talk with him,” writes a missionary of the American Mission to Greeks. "The shadow on their faces is soon replaced by radiant smiles as they see their dear father walk hastily toward the gate. 'Daddy, when will you come back home?’ is the first question they ask. The poor father, Jeremiah Stamboulides, tries to hide his feelings as he assures his little ones that he will soon return. But this dream probably never will be realized. "This man is a faithful believer, bearing patiently the bitter trials that are his lot. 'I would surely have committed suicide, if I had not come to a knowledge of the Lord,’ he said. 'Only His marvelous grace helps me to bear suffering wi thou t c om plaint.’ ’ His wife and three little ones sometimes lack even their daily bread. Think of what this mother feels as she sits down with her chil dren to their meager meals, know ing that "Daddy” is a leper and the future holds nothing better for them. Her tears and prayers flow together as she looks for help to the only Source left her. Won’t you open your heart of compassion toward these dear children by undertaking the support of one of them at $15 a month? To such families 22 lbs. of U.S. surplus food can be provided with only $1 and a clothing package can be sent for only $6. "To visit the fatherless in their affliction” is a direct command of the Word of God. Here is your opportunity to obey it by sending a gift to the American Mission to Greeks Inc., Rev.

On the left is Chancellor Louis T. Talbot of the Bible Institute of Los Angeles. On the right is Biola Radio Director Al Sanders. Talbot has preached over radio continuously since 1932. Humanly speaking he singlehandedly saved Biola from bankruptcy during the depression when he took to the airways. For the story of Biola radio today see pages 28-33. Photos : Lloyd Hamill
