Page 33 WINNIPEG BIBLE INSTITUTE How the Light Came to Madagascar (Continued from Page 33) Then Ramomo, the princess who had been a secret believer, came to the throne. Great crowds gathered for her coronation, watching in vain for the royal idols, which had always been given a prominent place in the processions. This time, texts of Scripture were emblazoned around the Royal canopy. The idol-keepers in great anger threatened the Queen’s life, so then she and her counsellors decided to put an end forever to the worship of wood and stone. Her officers raided the sacred village and burned the great idol “Rakelimalaga” with all his charms. Fires were lit all over the province as many followed the Queen’s example and burned their idols. Yes, the Light was spreading. A hundred years after the work began there ' were two thousand five hundred churches, and hundreds of thousands of Christians. But what about the others who are still waiting for the Light? This story has been mainly about the province of Imerina in the centre of this vast island; but there are tens of thousands of people in the other provinces still sitting in darkness, waiting for the Light. Agnes Dueclc Asia and tke TNfeat? East (Continued from Page 33) India we find to be one of the most religious of all lands, and yet those religions are the basis of great wickedness and degradation. Few have any conception of the true God. The idolaters, in their anxiety to please their gods are driven to commit cruel crime and make deplorable sacrifices. The present war has greatly increased the temporal and spiritual need of the people of India. One of the greatest unevangelized regions of the world lies in central Asia north of India, including the vast territories of Afghanistan, Tibet, and Turkestan. The people of these lands have long been neglected by Christian missions because they closed their frontiers to outsiders and neither welcomed nor respected white men. Moreover, great geographical barriers make travel very difficult. Racial jealousy between these Asian peoples is so prominent that the few mis¬ sionaries who have got into the country find it very difficult to maintain a friendly relationship toward all. A few individuals have heard the gospel message or received Christian literature when visiting Northern India or a far-of f Chinese mission station, but the mass of the people are in dense spiritual darkness. Anyone preparing to serve the Lord in this needy field should have a good medical knowledge and be able to endure privations and loneliness. Christ’s command, “Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature” is being obeyed and the work is being carried on, but the need is still very great and God’s promise will not fail. “Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.” Icy “Dalstcom South America (Alumni News continued from Page 35) In two weeks we are going to start a school, which is mainly for the believers’ children. We thank God for your prayers in regard to our house. At first it seemed impossible to find one, as we were the first two respectable single girls to live alone in a house in this province. We are making history! Just before Christmas two young girls in the children’s class gave their hearts to the Lord. We pray that to these two and many more, Christmas in its true meaning was made clear. Extracts (com Letters (Continued from Page 7) Thief River Palls, Minn., U. S.

I am very thankful that CJRC has so many fine Christian programs. Your Prayer Warrior Friend,” A. 13.
