My China has a history that began four thousand years ago and now is the home of 450 million people--one-fifth of all the people in the world, most of whom are peasant farmers, fishermen, and merchants. Within my land after so many years of war, I still can hear the sound of guns and of marching feet.

TA LUOI, a iungle tribesman, one day wandered into an Annamese village. As he curiously watched the passars-by, strains of sweet music filled the air, gradually alluring him into a wooden structure. Among fully dressed' natives and two foreigners he felt out-of-place clad merely in a loin cloth and strings of beads about his neck. Though everything was new and strange, Ta Luoi was deadly stirred by the music, kindness, and the marvelous story of Jesus Christ of whom he had never heard. Finally, when he reluctantly took his leave, he was a new man, for Christ had come into his heart to stay. The messages of salvation was carried back to his village and others were saved. Later Ta Luoi studied the Bible and became the native mission- ary's right-hand man. N Indo Cluna I.I . jHl13llIi'siE VLQ. ' '
