She Struck a Blow for World Peace
A monthly column of names in the news Wycliffe Bible Translators’ Cameron Townsend has probably done more than any other person to cement friendly relations between U.S. mis sionaries and the governments south of our border. And a fortnight ago in Santa Ana, Calif. Christian Am bassador Townsend was on hand at a ceremony that demonstrates well the tireless efforts of his mission. The oc casion: the presentation of a $23,000, four-place Helio-Courier airplane to the Peruvian government. Vice-Presi dent Richard Nixon made the presenta tion in a ceremony sponsored by the Orange County Chamber of Com merce.

Bollinger, president of the Pitts burgh, Kan. company that manufac tures the Helio-Courier. In each case the governments have turned the planes back to Wycliffe to operate in their country.

It comes as a shock that churches are not more will ing to help this situation.” Someone from the unreasoning mob shouted, “There’d be a lot less people in hell if preachers kept out of this.” But evangelicals knew the time was past when any true believer could ignore the solid fact that whites and Negroes are not only equal in God’s sight but also equal by the law of America.
