used of God to increase the concern for missions. Not a few of our B iola students have indicated that it was while seeing these films that they de cided to attend Bible school and pre pare for missionary service. Since I have the privilege of teach ing missions and directing the inter ests of the Missions Department at B iola , Dr. Talbot has invited me to go with him on this trip through Africa. It will be my chief concern, to gather information and data which will increase the effectiveness of the Missions Department. Africa which has for years been called “the dark
continent” is now known as “ the changing continent.” The chief causes for the change are Communism, Na tionalism and Mohammedanism. It will be my privilege to study the problems and trends of missionary ac tivity in this strange land. Mr. Bruce Linton of Fullerton, Cal ifornia, a “ top notch” photographer who has the missionary heart will be shooting most of the film and hopes to produce something that will really convey the missionary challenge to hearts here at home. Also included in our party are Dr. Herbert J. Movius and my 16-year-old son David, who are making the trip at their own ex pense, but who are expected to con tribute much to the project. Dr. Mov ius, a noted surgeon in Los Angeles, has a personal interest in Dr. Talbot who has been a patient of his for several years. Now that we have given this brief resume' we will leave the rest to your imagination until we get on the oth er side of the Atlantic and begin to see things as they are.

We have made an exhaustive survey of your case. To be plain, we are surprised that you have been able to pass as a bonafide missionary. We are told that you are afflicted with a severe eye-trouble. This is certain to be an insuperable handicap to an effective ministry. Our board requires 20-20 vision. At Antioch, we learn you opposed Dr. Simon Peter, an esteemed de nominational secretary and actually rebuked him publicly. You stirr.ed up so much trouble at Antioch that a special board meeting had to be convened in Jerusalem. We cannot condone such actions. Furthermore, you have not gradu ated from our seminary, and you know we cannot have our mission board represented by one who is not a graduate from a recognized univer sity. We cannot recognize the three years you spent in Arabia and Da mascus because the schools are un known. Our board does not recognize private tutors such as you claim yoh have had. Is it true that you have a jail record? Certain brethren report that
M IS S IO N S continued Although our principal objective is Africa, this visit to Spain is certainly not the least in importance so far as I am concerned. In fact, for a long time it has been a real chal lenge. For you who may not know of our venture, let me briefly describe the nature of it. Dr. Louis T. Talbot, chancellor of the Bible *Institute of Los Angeles, has made several trips to mission fields in recent years. The films he has produced and the experi ences he has related have been greatly
