The Baptist couple, with their 16-month-old baby, hid upstairs in their house but fire forced Mr. Mullins to knock out a window and jump. The baby was dropped to him as Mrs. Mullins also jumped to safety. The clergyman was knocked down and hit with a hammer in a brief fracas with terrorists. None of the youngsters was harmed. The life of another missionary was saved, Mr. Mullins related, when a former native Bible student jumped in front of a terrorist aiming a rifle. United Nations helicopters evacuated the group.

Description: Text transcribed from caption: P-30535 SLAIN CONGO MISSIONARY'S SISTER AND FAMILY RESCUED LEOPOLDVILLE, Congo -- One of two Baptist missionary sisters died and another was saved from Communist-inspired terrorists in the Kwilu Province of the Congo.

The Grings children, left to right, are Becky, 8; Danny, 6; and Ruth Ann, 11. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (W-NY-1E-64-NBM)
