AFIQICA ...The African... Robust, proud, defiant, he stands searching the distance, challenging the intruder. The experiences of war, want and wandering have taught him the lessons of caution. They have robbed him of the traditions of the past, the amenities of the present and the heritage of the future. Now he stands watchful, the guardian of his last citadel--his soul. ure, speed and fame, he seeks only peace of mind, shelter over his head, cattle for his farm, corn for his granary, a place in the Long Sleep with his forefathers. Upon his horizon have appeared men with a message of resuscitation. of forlorn hope, of life and love and a Saviour, of conviction and satisfaction for his need. They come, actuated'by the fact that behind his challenge they have read an appeal. We are debtors to the African. Leader - Eugene Gustafson First Row: L. Hobson, E. Colburn, B. Roll, A. Buerkle, B.

' HO If MISSIONS . o illle ime... Wishful thinkers to the contrary--today is NOT just an iteration of yesterday. We are NOT returning to the adjustments of pre-war days, northe conditions of any other epoch. ' . HISTORY IS MARCHING ON! The world is being swept inexorably toward a new crisis. Already the sinister rumblings of the approaching apocalyptic storm can be heard. This unusual era presents unusual opportunities to the churches of America. If oppor- tunities were golden before, they are priceless now. This is a crucial hour in the course of human events. Never has the need been so urgent for the spreading of the gospel in the United States. never the times so significant, never has the church of our fair land been called upon to do so much in so short a time. In this our day of opportunity and responsibility, we must clarify our vision, define our objective, and examine our methods ' and effort. VA1, ,, How long do we yet have to carry out the great commission? Only God knows the ans- , wer. We must awake, Christians of the Homeland, and redeem the time for the days are evil!
