CHICAGO Convinced that communism com-munism Is the most destructive single influence in the world today, tbe Moody Bible Institute, a world leader among organizations ot its kind, has embarked on a campaign to combat subversive teachings in this area. The purpose was announced by Dr. Will H. Houghton, president of the Institute, at the dedication of four busses to be used for scores of open-air meetings in the heart of tbe thickly populated areas where communistic influences are strongest. Founded by D. L. Moody nearly a half-century ago, the Institute has employed horse-drawn or motor conveyances through its entire history his-tory to carry the gospel to every part of the metropolitan area, and these busses replace the four that were no longer safe to use. Students Stu-dents of the Institute carry on th? program of song, testimony, prayer, and preaching, and these many open-air services through the summer sum-mer months are attended by thousands thou-sands from among the drifting multitudes. mul-titudes. A large crowd composed of faculty fac-ulty and administrative workers, students, graduates, and numerous friends, stood with uncovered heads while the thirty-minute service of dedication was put on the air over the Institute station WM13I. Thus will Moody Bible Institute make a contribution toward counteracting the subversive propaganda of communism com-munism and atheism among the classes most susceptible to godless influences. |
