Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. Joi-:N 8:32 NDIA A FEW days before India received full independence, a prominent Indian newspaper carried the headlines, 'Missionaries Need Not Quit India.' India was supposed to be FREE! India is not free, however. Jesus said, 'Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.' l have seen the Indian search for Truth. With the United States Army in India, l saw that heathenism is ghastly. l saw the Hindu holy man who had stared at the sun daily until he became totally blind. l saw another who had driven huge spikes through his limbs. l heard the soul- wrenching cry of a deserted child-mother, Tell me, do you think India is free?

As I cried to Jesus, they went away. Four angels came and brought quietness to my being, while Jesus stood by me opening a book which listed sins. He asked if they were mine. I wept ac- knowledging that they were all mine. He swept his hand over the page leaving it white and clean. He said, 'I have wiped them out by my bIood.' Then he left me, but my heart was full of joy. I live to proclaim his gIory. Though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. A Hindu Sunday School.
