One wonders when he looks upona n o l d r u s t y p u m p w h a t r e a s o n s :there must be for its failure.

Then FredLee of the same Central Yearly Meeting mission came and gave the following two morning messages with ac lea r l ead ing and demons t ra t i on o fthe Spi r i t .PROMISES (PRAYER MEETINGS)

Each morning before daylight wewere awakened by singing and thenthe hum of united pi-ayer going u]!to God f rom the dormi tor ies of ourvisit ing brethren. In the parlor oft h e m i s s i o n e a c h m o r n i n g a t 8o'clock, shoulder to shoulder, mission-

laries and native workers went intospiritual combat. Promises wereclaimed before the Lord and togetherwe bowed under the spiritual burdens, and together we felt that Godhad heard and would answer. Thesewere precious times of refreshing toour own souls. At the same time thenative brethren under native leadership were having their prayer meet

The spirit of singing was upon thepeop le . A leafle t o f two new songsand three choruses was printed andevery morn ing f rom 10 :30 to 10 :45and every evening from 7:30 to 7:45we spent in learning new songs andsinging old ones. The men of the LaPaz congregation sang a special songfrom the platform. The Ayllon family beautifully rendered a quartetteand Juan sang a new Aymara translat ion of an old favori te. Specialsongs and stirring choruses filled theair inside and outside of meetings.The people are learning to sing! Itwas- a delight to lead them and watchtheir faces light up with joy of singing praises. In past years singingh a s b e e n w o r k t o t h e I n d i a n a n dthough he enjoyed it, his face showedh o w h a r d h e w o r k e d a t i t !

There are also far too many youngpeople whose lives have become mereshells because of "desert surroundings" resulting from the failure ofchurch, the C. E., the home, the community, and the nation to supply thespiritual food that is necessary Achurch that does not preach thepower of I'edemption cannot expectIts members to be vitally interestedin missions and evangelism.

per rnember. I know of some families that went without butter and othersthat went without some things to do their part. Did you really sacrifice?I know that we are all glad that we were able to raise $1,272.98 and arevery thankful to all who helped make this sum possible. If there are anywho have not given and would like to, send your gift either to your Monthly Meeting treasurer or to the Yearly Meeting treasurer. It would be fineif we could somehow raise our total to $1,600 so that with the $400 raisedat Yearly Meeting we would be able to pay off $2,000 of the debt. If thereis a mistake in your report I am sorry but I am using what has been sentme I am s orry that we couldn't get this announcement to you soonerbut have had to wait until now for some of the information and as you cansee some of it hasn't arrived yet. Thanks to everyone who has helped and^aveT this campaign. -Edward F. Harmon, Supt.
