CHILDREN IN DANGER!
"This is a fervent request that you will rescue my five children from great danger. The oldest is only 11. My husband cannot do any work because, during the communistic guerrilla warfare, their great cruelty and destruction drove him out of his mind, and naturally he is unable to help. I am struggling to provide the bare necessities of life for my little ones. With the greatest of difficulty I manage to secure just a loaf of bread, and this not every day. "W e had a small bit of property, but the communists destroyed it, and now we are in the streets. My chil dren have developed bronchial trou ble. I cannot send them to school because I do not have the money to buy them bread, let alone pay for their sch ooling , books, etc. (In Greece, there is a small registration fee for each child who attends school, which the very poor cannot possibly pay.) "Our poverty can hardly be imag ined, and whatever you can do for my children — food, clothing, any thing — you will save them and God will reward you.” Angeliki Belli Do you ever have to wonder when you will eat again, as this family does? In Greece, where one third of the population makes less than 25c a day, this situation is not uncommon. But can we be comfortable sitting in front of our full dinner plates, knowing that with only $1.00 we can provide 22 lbs. of surplus food to these gaunt, sickly, despairing ones? That with $6.00 we can ship i them a bundle of clothing; that with $15.00 a month we can provide home care for a child? Nor should we be content to stop there, but seek to bring God’s Word through gifts of Bibles and Testaments to the spir itually starved also. Ask the Lord what He would have you do, and write to the American Mission to Greeks, Inc., Rev. Spiros Zodhiates, General Secretary, Dept. K, P.O. Box 423, New York 36, N.Y. (In Can ada write to 90 Duplex Avenue, To ronto 7, Ontario.)

A monthly column of names in the news
In Wheaton, 111., Scripture Press President Victor E. Cory has named Dr. Robert A. Cook vice-president and man ager of the distributing division. Cook, 44, president of Youth for Christ In ternational since 1948, resigned from that o r g a n iz a tio n the same day. Named to replace Cook at YFC is Dr. Ted W. Engstrom, 40. Engstrom has been with YFC since 1951; was book editor for Z on d e r v a n Publishing House for 11 years. Missions-minded Pastor Oswald J. Smith of The Peoples Church, Toronto, is making plans for a three-month tour through South America. He will hold evangelistic campaigns, deeper life conferences and missionary con ventions in the national churches of the larger cities of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Panama, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay. The meetings will run from September through No vember. In Los Angeles, Radio Director Al Sanders of the Bible Institute of Los Angeles has announced that the Fed eral Communications Commission has granted BIOLA a permit to construct an FM radio station. Earlier in the year a Pentecostal church (Maple C hapel o f su bu rban G len d a le ) launched a new FM station, KHOF, | and long-time AM Christian radio station KFSG (Foursquare) will soon be broadcasting over a new FM trans- |mitter. The rush to FM started in Los Angeles when surveys revealed approximately one million FM sets in the area. The trend is seen as a desire of many to escape the weary round of TV programs for the high quality music most FM stations car ry. Missionaries and candidates will once again this summer (as they have since 1934) have the opportunity to become acquainted with the latest study techniques in foreign languages at the Summer Institute of Linguistics. Started by L. L. Legters and W. Cameron Townsend, the Institute has gained world-wide recognition for” its out- I standing work. This summer’s sessions will be held at the University of Ok lahoma, University of North Dakota, Briercrest Bible Institute and Turn- ! ours Hall Camp near London. Cata- ; logs and further information may be obtained by writing the Institute at Box 870, Glendale 5, Calif.
