The dictionary didn't hold the answers for these Seniors. They used their ingenuity during their term of office, for they were in on Homecoming, Sno-Day, and class party planning. Harry Olson didn't get in here, but he wasn't out of the picture when it came to the class treasury. It takes smart looking people to Icatl their ass through the busy days of planning for 'lass Night. Skip Day, and various other nior activities. It took a lot of book-work nd also head-work to make everything oinc out right. And it did . . . !

CHALLENGE OF AFRICA Of all the great mission fields, there is, perhaps, none that offers a greater challenge than Africa. Those of us who have worked in Central Africa especially have known what a fertile field it is and how rich in results. Africa is the land of contrasts—contrasts and changes. As Mrs. Kellersberger points out, in Central Africa a native gets “white” instead of “black” from work. Scars on the face are made and admired. Teeth are filed instead of filled. The leaves of the Mango tree have their rainbow colors first and then turn green. Food is given first to the men and then to the women, and many an old-fashioned African will wash himself, then put on the soap—and leave it on. Economically Central Africa is a tremendous challenge. As far back as 792 two thirds of the world's supply of radium came from the Belgian Congo. The industry of Central Africa has its diamonds and its gold mines, almost fabulous. But next to that great wealth is the poverty, the disease, and the sin. In the same region which will give a marvelous yield of gold, a decent vegetable can hardly be raised, the diet is poor, and sin abounds. North Africa, with its solid block of Mohammedanism, presents a challenge to us because of its very hardness. Five hundred Christian workers in one area, after seventy years of faithful work produced only five hundred believers. We find opposition hard enough to challenge our best efforts. Fanaticism does not save and Mohammedans are lost without Christ. The women, still so often kept as prisoners in harems, are simply a picture of the bondage in which those people are kcP' • From the missionary's standpoint, Central Africa is the land tv here missions have made the best progress in these last forty years and have seen abundant results. Stretched out in a thin line or scattered as little pin points of light in the midst of the darkness all around, little groups of Christians, and sometimes larger groups, saved through the preaching of the good news that Christ died for sinners, have been the results of the work of missions. Yet, with all the results that have come to pass, there is, as our native Christians know, still much land to be possessed. Is God calling you? It may be to the hard rock of Islam in North Africa, it may be to the physically uncomfortable but spiritually luxurious fields of Central Africa, or it may be to the seething cauldron of South Africa. When He calls, you may well count it a privilege to answer “yes'. Dr. Harry Stam Department of Missions Northwestern Schools Minneapolis
