Another American missionary has met a martyr’s death— this time in Mexico. Ancel Allen had trained care fully for the mission field. After serv ice in both World War II and Korea he went to Moody Bible Institute where he graduated from their tech nical missionary course. An expert pilot, Allen held a commercial in structor’s license. In Mexico he joined the Airmail From God Mission, an organization dedicated to dropping Gospels to the farmers of Mexico. Mission Director Nyles Huffman start ed dropping Gospels seven years ago and up to this month his mission has dropped over 5-million Gospels blan keting an area of 140,000 square miles. From time to time Airmail From God met fanatic opposition but by and large the operation went for ward smoothly. Allen was just the kind of man the mission wanted. He was 33, married, a superb pilot, un- talkative. He knew his task and did it well. It was a calm and beautiful fall day when Allen headed his Gos- pel-ladened plane north of Toluca. Coming into a village at tree-top level he jettisoned a few hundred Gospels and pulled the plane up sharply in preparation for another pass. In the milling crowd below, a sullen radical took careful aim with a high-powered rifle and fired. The bullet ripped through the mid-section of Allen’s body and his plane flopped over and power-dived into the ground. And from the wrecked plane some 6,500 Gospels burst forth. Missionary Ancel Allen had distributed his last Gospel. Christians for two generations have viewed Cecil B. DeMille's Bible-based movie, “ The King of Kings.” Next month those who care to will get a chance to see the veteran (75 years old) movie maker’s latest Bible-based picture, “ The Ten Commandments.” Running time: 3 hours, 39 minutes; cost: $13-million. Churchmen and ed itors have been given free showings of the film at special premieres and their comments have been rather on the glowing side. Example: Dr. James Z. Nettinga, secretary of the Southern California District of the American Bible Society said, “ I can still feel the glow and warmth of that tremendous experience. It will remain with us throughout our lives.”
This will interest YOU . . . Our field representatives meet Christian men and women quite frequently who are looking for places to invest their money. Most of them n eed a return on their savings. Some are considering investments in stocks. But because of their limited knowledge of stocks and bonds, they are reluctant to buy. Others hesitate because of market fluctua tions, uncertainty of dividends, etc. And some tell us of disappointing experi ences on their investments. * * * Without exception, a ll are looking for secu rity . . . a guarantee that they will be as su red of a generous income. Something they can count on as long as th ey liv e . . . in good times or bad . . . regardless of whether the stock market is up or down. But they’re interested in som eth in g else, too. * * * You should see their faces light u p . . . when we tell them about the d o u b l e d iv id e n d s provided by Moody Annuities. When we tell them that Moody Annuities assure them of a gen erou s, guaranteed incom e as lon g as th ey live (up to 8V4% depending on their age) . . . plu s a share in the Lord’s work . . . they’re overjoyed! And when we tell them that every annuity is backed by all the resources of Moody Bible Institute, and that MBI has n ev er m issed a single payment in almost 50 years . . . they are convinced that it’s the plan for them!
