AFRICA Christians disposing of human skulls Bapfif-mal 5e ViCe in the Gabon Q61 Qe! MBANA NGOYI fled for refuge behind a house cursing the white devil who in- vited the inhabitants of Yimenu to hear the words of God. This process recurred many times. Repulsing conviction, Mbana Ngoyi revelled in much wine, adding to this mis- demeanor brutal treatment of Buanga, his wife, climaxing these evils by his desire for a new wife. Ngoyi sought vainly for peace in the prayer beads of the white priest. One day the Mis- sionary needed jungle vine. Ngoyi brought his, but with a double purpose. He sold the vine and besought the Missionary to explain the way of salvation. Upon hearing of the wages of sin and the gift of God, he stood trem- bling and prayed, Father God, l confess my sin. Lead my heart to serve Thee. l do not want to go to hell fire. When he had con- cluded he shouted, l have found lightness, I see my body with peace -a trophy of grace in the Gabon.

Don't we often think of this land as one of oriental romance and mystery? Enclosed by the wes- tern mountain ranges, China is cradled alone, steeped in darkness with its superstitions, religions, and its own ori- ental customs which have remained with her through the centuries. The dragon is the national symbol of China and the badge of the imperial family. Thus we find the country of the Great Wall is grounded in practices of religion which are directed by the Devil, Serpent ot the World, against whom we have girded ourselves with the Sword ot God's Word. ' To avert the path of this dragon, we must mount the white horse of righteousness and brandish our sharpened Sword before the toe. l26
