Sirs: I don’t believe in all my, years of reading as a Christian that I have ever read anything so enlight­ ening, scriptural and so badly need­ ed. Send 10 copies. Detroit, Mich. Blanche S. Quint Sirs: Is it in reprint form? Washington, D. C. Norman B. Rohrer Publications Director International Students, Inc. Sirs: Send 100 copies for use in our work. Harrisburg, Pa. Rev. William B. Haber Harrisburg School of the Bible Sirs: It certainly showed me where I have fallen far short. Broadbent, Ore. Mrs. F. C. Hoffman Sirs: How I praise the Lord for this which I have needed. Redding, Calif. Mrs. Joe Heatt Sirs: Hill Chapel, which my husband shepherds, was thrilled with that report. They want to give them out Sirs: I teach 10 adult Bible classes each week and want to give each lady a copy . . . send 300. Bridgeton, N. J. Mrs. Anna K. Meyers Sirs: One of the best I have ever read. Send 100 copies. San Diego, Calif. Rev. Milo L. Nixon College Ave. Baptist Church Never have we received such re­ sponse to an article as “ The Chris­ tian & Worldliness” by Ray C. Stedman. Our entire stock of re­ prints was immediately sold out and orders are still piling up. Be­ cause of the supreme importance of this article we are making a second reprint which should be ready by to each family. St. Petersburg, Fla. Mrs. Robert Miller

the time this magazine is delivered. The new reprint is an attractive 32-page booklet with a two-color cover. Because of the larger quan­ tity ordered we can sell this beau­ tifully printed booklet for the same low cost of 10 cents each as the original magazine reprint. — ED. Aushiri Indians Sirs: I read with keen interest your reprint article on the Aushiri In­ dians [Dec. K.B.] of Ecuador, be­ lieved by Pan American Union writer Perez to be the tribe respon­ sible for the tragic deaths of the five U.S. missionaries. Although I detect a pro-Catholic bias, such arti­ cles are healthy if only to stimulate Christian thought and renewed mis­ sionary dedication. Incidentally, your readers may be interested to learn of persistent rumors heard in Quito, Ecuador to the effect that two Catholic priests have made a strange pilgrimage to the Curaray River site of the com­ mon grave for the celebration of a mass. Missionary Aviation Fellow­ ship pilots on a reconnaissance flight over the area reported that a crude wooden structure has been erected over the mound beneath the m u ch -pub lic ized tree-house. This gives credence to the rumors concerning mysterious visitors who are apparently the only non-In­ dians who have returned to the site since the tragedy. My own continued interest stems from the fact that World Wide Pic­ tures is carefully preparing a searching, comprehensive film doc­ ument on the missionary martyrs to be released in the spring of 1957 coincidental with the publication of Harper’s Through Gates of Splen­ dor, Abe Van Der Puy’s ambitious undertaking which has all the po­ tentials of climbing to the top of the non-fiction Best Seller list. Hollywood, Calif. Dick Ross, President World Wide Pictures

The Christian & Worldliness Sirs: Mr. Stedman, [“ The Christian & Worldliness,” Nov. K.B.] no doubt, makes a strong plea for something. At first it seems he wants Christians to throw away their standards, but later in the article this is repudiated. He also seems to recommend the most friendly of relations with the un­ saved. By implication the purpose of this friendliness is to bring them to Christ. Certainly Mr. Stedman does not recommend that Christians partake of the gambling, evil speak­ ing, drinking, smoking and the rest of the recreational activities of the unsaved. Where does that leave the puzzled reader? . . . The Lord gives strict warnings about “ beware of men” and “ salute no man by the way.” Not much friendliness in those words! So. Son Gabriel, Calif. L. W. King Sirs: Thank God for Mr. Stedman. He will never know how much his article has helped me and several of my friends. We stand alone be­ cause we refuse to make a check list but rather insist on the Bible as our standard, which doesn’t back up a lot of our church dogma of today. Please send 20 reprints. Raymond, Wash. Mrs. Alice Rushing Sirs: Send 15 copies. Phoenix, Arlz. Sadie Wiersma, Librarian Cook Christian Training School Sirs: We found the article very val­ uable and plan to use it in a series of roundtable discussions. No. Hollywood, Calif. A. Duane Borror Calvary Church of the Valley Sirs: I believe that a great service to the Christians of our day has been done by this article. It would be of even further value if it could be put into pamphlet form and widely circulated. Trail, B. C. W. M. Dawes
