She carries an enormous load, the weight of which is distributed,-upTfrffl1,erflfeai,,,shoulders, and back. People refer to her as the '1aily'fPack--Aiifma though weary from the iourney and her load, she plods bravely arrying burdens is her only way of earning money to buy the necessities of lil-e tor her tatherless children. The immensity of her burden, the weariness of her frail body, and the sad- ness of her countenance cause us to stand in awe. Although this lady represents only one class of people in South America, men and women throughout that continent are weighed down with a great burden. As we come to an interior village of Peru, our eyesafgcus uponfrpoverty- stricken Indian begging at the railway station. l.ater'W'e'fs,eef'tlfifsame man, un. dernourished and weary, laboring as a Qaw ,..land-'owner.

T is man, as well as thousands like him is held- in physical, moral, and spi ual slavery---without God and without hope in the world. Hgbaglifiing to feel that even death would be preferable to his present condition, because to him life itself is a burden. Yes, there are .many types of people living in South America, but they all have their burden. Some who are living in the depths of immorality have never heard of the true God. Others are called 'Christians', but we regret that too often these people have heard only enough about Christ to change their names but not their lives. Thus we see the people ot South America trudging wearily under their load. Theirs is a burden of sin, disease, and' fear. Real peace and ioy have come to those of us who hge accepted,Jesus Christ as our Saviour. We have cast our burdens uponitlim, andi our,.-hearts have been warmed by his redeeming love.

Ek' .v. ma' 'M my r ,ff UM JEBER, the mother of a leading merchant in the Arab village of Jebaib, became very bitter when her son was saved. His changed life and willing suffering convicted her, however, and soon she too accepted the Lord Jesus Christ. Some time later a missionary came to Jebaib to baptize several believers, but Um Jeber lay des- perately ill with a soaring fever. She asked the visitor to pray: he complied gladly with her ra- quest. As he was preparing to leave, the patient iumped out of bed and insisted on going along. The Lord had instantly healed her! That day the old Arab woman believer was buried in the waters of baptism. Near est ij, .W l J, f, Aviv xi 1: x It T. V' if' - -'fijiv -, n
