The Missionary Outlook The recent visit of the Associate Edi tor with Mr. Guy Playfair, General Director of the Sudan Interior Mis sion, elicited a story of modem mir acles occurring in ancient Ethiopia. You remember the history, how that 'missionaries had been allowed access to this country for approximately the last fifty years. Then in 1936 the Ital ians cleared the country of all Protes tant missionaries. It was not until last year that the former missionaries, with great anxiety, hurried back into the country to find what had become of the .Christian's whom they had left. What was their delight, joy and amazement to find the Christians not only growing in grace, but working for Christ with an energy like unto that of the early church. Sufficient to say that the native church has been gloriously visited by the Spirit of God resulting in an awakening not unlike the great spiritual visitations of history. The Sudan Interior Mission is aware of the need to send more missionaries there to aid in this movement for God. ★ ★ The Youth Front Upwards of three hundred cities are now going strong in the phenomenal “YOUTH FOR CHRIST” program in the United States. A national organi zation has just been formed, with dy namic Torrey Johnson as chairman. To say that this new movement is amaz ing would be putting it mildly. Many were of the opinion that a Saturday night rally would never be a success, but now the goal of “YOUTH FOR CHRIST” International, is no less than rallies in 1000 cities, each one attended by one thousand young people, making a total of one million young people meeting each week under the auspices Of this flourishing movement. We are happy, to report in Los Angeles our meetings are growing in interest and attendance week by week. A fine rep resentative committee headed by Hu bert Mitchell leads our group and the work appears to be not only genuine but lasting as well. God’s richest bless ing on this youth movement, ★ ★ Judge Tells Can we be absolutely honest in our thinking about juvenile delinquency? A judge of Nashville, Tennessee, who tried 4000 juvenile cases during the last four years r e p o r t s that only seventeen of those involved were in regular attendance at Sunday School at the time their crime was com mitted. Of these seventeen, nine were found not guilty. Do our educational leaders have the intellectual integrity to realize the import of this survey? The tragedy is that we must wait to hear these words from a judge on the bench.
