Without the Word — AFRICANS are educated heathen • Only 1 4% of Africa's population is “ Christian” * Mohammedanism and Communism are appealing to educated Africans • Life in many places still centers around pagan orgies * Even many educated Africans are still ruled by heathen superstitions, taboos and fears • Witch doctors still ply their dastardly trade * The civilized, cultured African also needs Christ

. Africans are being taught to read. W ill they read Communist propaganda, the literature of false re­ ligions, or the Truth of the Gospel? Only the Word of God can save Africa from edu­ cated heathenism! Will you help us take the Word to Africa? Write today for a free copy of our Quarterly with news of conversions among the Mau Maus.
