Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for ns? Then said I, Here am I 5 send me. IsA. 6:8 'Today in heathen lands they die, They die in want and dread, For they have been omitted In the breaking of the bread. Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles, the unsearchable riches of Christ. EPB. 3:8 Lord, I would give them the Bread of Life, The living waters too. My heart cries out, Oh, here am I, Ready Thy will to do. 140

How shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? ROM. 10:15 INDO-Cl-IINA AS DARKNESS sinks over a bleak Indo-China sky, a group of natives- men, women, and children-lie exhausted on an open field. Their gaunt faces, ragged clothes, and bodies bony from hunger, reveal untold suffering. Revolution is raging between the Viet-Namese and French, yet a far darker aspect is depicted. Laos has vast sections where white faces have never been seen. East Siam is a country of moral depravity, Wherever the gospel has been given, natives have shown unusual interest, but four large provinces remain unoccupied. One hundred tribes have never yet had their language reduced to writing. Jesus commands us to 'Go and teach all nations.' 'How shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard?' We as.Christians are responsible for the physical and spiritual destitution of this land. Indo-China raises bony, empty hands to you for the Bread of Life, the Lord Jesus Christ.

n Annamese CVB 9 INDO-Cl-IINA To an unknown God. THE RHADES celebrate lavishly when abandoning an ancestor's grave. The language teacher and missionaries stood all morning watching the solemn ceremony to the throb of the gongs. Then another procession entered the graveyard. The burial of a Rhade child. They watched the deep grave being dug for the coffin which was the log of a tree hollowed out. The natives killed a buffalo and smeared blood over the coffin using entrails to rub it on. Weeping, they muttered prayers to evil spirits. The box was lowered, rice and meat placed beside the grave. Trunks of trees and leafy branches covered the top. Over this projected a high mound of earth with a long bamboo pole, reaching down to the coffin. Wine and alcohol and a house were provided for the spirits. This they smeared with fresh blood, then gathered around their jars and drank long and full, weeping and lamenting the dead. How can they believe on Him of whom they have never heard? . .. .
