eopfe A monthly column of names in the news. In Los Angeles February 14 Paul W. Rood, faithful soldier of the cross, closed his earthly ministry. And his life reads like a spiritual success story (see K.B. Oct. ’55) — f rom preacher to Bible institute president (B io l a 1935-38) to world-wide evan gelist. He was president of the World Christian Fundamentals Association; president of the first committee of International Child Evangelism Fel lowship (1937) and active in the ministry of the Mission Covenant Church. Participating in the memo rial service February 18 were C. Vic tor Nyquist; Carleton Booth, soloist;, Wilbur Nelson; Arvid Carlson; T. J. Bach, director-emeritus of The Evangelical Alliance Mission and Samuel H. Suth erland, B io l a president. Included among the honorary pallbearers were Charles E. Fuller and George Bennard. In Quito, Ecuador at the govern ment palaces a high tribute was giv en the five missionary martyrs (see this issue, pp. 13-18). At an impressive ceremony Abe Van Der Puy received the National Medal of Merit in the Order of Commander. Van Der Puy, president of the Inter Mission Fellow ship of Ecuador, represented all evan gelical missions in that country. The minister of foreign relations gave that government’s reasons for bestow ing this honor; “because of the un ceasing, unselfish and sacrificial service rendered by your missions to our nation. As the President’s citation indicates, this service is carried out without fear of the dangers and in conveniences which surround the task, in the true Christian spirit that motivates each one of the mission aries who have come from their dis tant countries to our jungle areas far from civilization and the Christian faith.” This 'is perhaps the first time in the history of missions when the combined mission forces of a nation have been so favorably recognized and rewarded by its government. At the request of Nevada ministers and civic leaders, radio evangelist Charles E. Fuller, Old Fashioned Revival Hour director, will hold special meet ings in that state this month. Evan gelistic rallies are scheduled in Reno (April 5) and Las Vegas (April 12). I
I S Y O U R M O N E Y only working part time *
FOR THE LORD? and FOR YOU?
*Compared with Moody Annuities, money invested in savings accounts, stocks, or other business securities is only working part time. If you’ve been planning to make a gift to the Lord through Moody Bible Institute, but have put it off because you needed the income from your savings, then you will be interested in Moody Annuities. They provide the means to make your gift to the Lord now, and still enjoy a higher annual return than that provided by most sound investments. MOODY ANNUI TI ES . . . WHAT THEY ARE . . . WHAT THEY DO . . . An annuity is a gift, in return for which Moody Bible Institute agrees to pay a fixed sum yearly to the giver. Moody Annuity payments are determined somewhat like an insurance premium. They depend on the size of the gift and your age. For instance, a man aged 60, would receive $53.91 yearly for every $1,000 given to the Institute through an annuity. This represents an annual return of almost 5%%. Because the annuity is considered a gift, a large percentage of your annual check is free of income taxes. FOR THE LORD . . . Part-time dollars get busy fast in full-time Christian service when given to Moody Bible Institute and its many ministries. Through your gift, you become an active soul winner—sharing in the many souls saved through the Institute and its students. You also take part in the ministry of radio station WMBI, the distribution of gospel literature, the film ministry and the Institute of Science. FOR YOU . . . Moody Annuities pay more than most ordinary, conservative investments. What’s more, they require no managing or supervision.. . your checks keep coming year after year, without attention on your part. To suit your convenience, annuity pay ments can be made annually or semi-annually. Your income is safe, too. For over 46 years, Moody has never missed or been late with an annuity payment.
