Minister Meets Chief T his candid shot taken recently deep in the jungles of New Guinea shows a native Chief meeting what is probably his first American. The Chief: head of the colorful and primitive Chimbu tribe. The min ister: Dr. Louis T. Talbot, Chancellor of the Bible Institute of Los Angeles. Talbot read about the little-known Chimbus in the National Geo graphic magazine; immediately decided this was a people he wanted to learn more about. After much discouragement from the Australian government (officials were fearful for his safety) Talbot and an Aus tralian commercial motion picture phototographer were allowed to fly and then trek into Chimbu country. They arrived in time for the native sing-sing featuring the bird of paradise dances that are as colorful as the bird they are named after. Talbot sat in on a native feast, preached a sermon and went away loaded with gifts from the Chimbus. He also went away with one of the most unusual and colorful missions films yet produced. This 38- minute, sound-color motion picture has been edited by the Film Dept, of the Bible Institute of Los Angeles and is now ready for showings on a free-will offering basis. Title is, “ The Land Time Forgot.” For information and available dates write Film Dept., Bible Institute of Los Angeles, Room 728, Los Angeles 17, Calif. — Adv.
