THE
The Press and The Christian W o r ld The PTL Following the very satisfactory yet challenging interview between represen tatives of the Pocket Testament League and General MacArthur of Japan, at the General’s own insistence the million of New Testaments for distribution is to be, not 1,000,000 but 10,000,000. An ini tial order has already been placed for the first edition of half a million Japa nese Gospels which are now being printed in Tokyo. Many feel that this is a “now- or-never opportunity.” 72nd Year The self-sacrificing yet exceedingly valuable work of the Pacific Garden Mission in Chicago will be featured at its 72nd Anniversary Rally, to be held at Chicago’s Stevens Hotel. At that time the new sound and color motion picture, “Out of the Night” depicting the min istry of the Mission will be shown. Last year over 8,000 men, women and service men professed to accept Christ there. .18 Months Radio TIFC of San Jose, Costa Rica, is the voice of the Latin American Mis sion. Eighteen months ago TIFC went on the air with a 1,000 watt RCA trans mitter. Most gratifying have been the reports of interest and results from the preaching of the gospel over this new channel. World-Wide Reading The American Bible Society announces its 6th Annual World-Wide Bible Read ing which is to begin on Thanksgiving Day, November 24, and end on Christ mas. The theme this year is “The Book to Live By,” and advertising material is to be mailed to over 120,000 pastors. Last year more than 12,000,000 book marks listing the Bible readings were distributed. Los Angeles Campaign Again this fall, under the sponsorship of the Christ for Greater Los Angeles group another tent meeting, featuring Rev. Billy Graham with Beverly Shea and Mr. and Mrs. Cliff Barrows, will be held. A big tent seating 6,000 has been secured, with many attractions including the best local musical and gospel radio stars. May it please God to begin in this campaign the revival which Southern California so desperately needs! Modern Missionary Journey On September 12th Dr. Louis T. Tal bot left Los Angeles by Pan-American Clipper to visit the mission fields where Biola graduates are laboring. The King’s Business will report these travels for Christ in the near future.
