Behold now is the accepted time, now is the day of salva- tion. II Cpll. 6:2 SCDUTI-I AMERICA IN THIS cosmopolitan land of South America--blessed with a multi- plicity of natural resources, the envy of all other nations--are millions of Indians living in extreme poverty in the interior mountain ranges and jungles. While in contrast are the cultured and learned living in modern, thriving cities such as Buenos Aires, Santiago, Lima, and, the most beau- tiful city in the world, Rio de Janeiro. The secular and religious leadership has been degenerate, corrupt, and immoral, leaving these people in spiritual confusion and darkness. Many of them are illiterate, diseased, and morally degenerate. They live in continual dread of devils and witch doctors. But we have a glorious message! We, who are the guardians of s-ouls, must rescue them from the raging fire of a living hell. Let us go in the name of the Lord. Today is the day of salvation , . , tomorrow means doom.

The native-'s violently passionate and deeply religious nature is mirrored in' rhythmic music, unstable politics, allegiance to the Roman Catholic Church, and his distinctive social customs. He enjoys eternal Andean Spring or endures steam- ing jungle heat. The South American may live in mod- ern city or in a lazy village, either jogging burro-back on mountain trail or soaring silver-winged through the air- ways.

M y people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned lost. them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their resting place. JER. 50:6 I wonder have l cared enough for others Or have I let them die alone? I might have helped a wand'rer to the Saviour: The seed of precious life l might have sown. How many are the lost that I have lifted? - How many are the chained l've helped to free? I wonder, have l done my best for Jesus, When He has done so much for me? 152 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was LUKE 19:10
