through a rear door, and advised them to keep out of this district until they were more familiar with the crowd. He assured them riots were frequent, and that the devil seemed to have pretty much his own way in these parts. The two friends found that others of the ship’s company had similar experiences, and that some had not come off so well as they, having been robbed of all the valuables they had with them, so that William and Randall were grateful for their fortunate escape. The next morning the steamer slowly entered the canal, and wended its way through the waters. Great dredges were at work cleaning out the debris here and there, for always it takes constant work to keep a canal clean and in good order. Passing through the great locks was an experience to many of the passengers, and one not easily forgotten. In about eight hours the vessel had reached the Pacific, and. after leaving the tropical climate of the canal, strange, as it seemed, the weather kept getting colder until at the equator it was almost unbearably cold on deck. The next stop, and a welcome one to the many passengers, was Callao. As the steamer rode into the beautiful, deep blue hay, the picture was wonderful to see. Crystal clear was the, water, reflecting the colorings above it. .On thé shore rose smooth-faced rocks, and in the ' distancé the rounded foot hills of the lofty Andes. In a way it was pioneering work the two young men were to do and much was left to their judgment as to the pro cedure after their arrival in the land of the Incas. They were to search out a strategic point to locate their work for the Master they loved, and were instructed to take time to look over the ground thoroughly before undertaking to start a permanent work, Randall Emmett had been raised on a farm, and enjoyed such work; his thought was to get off into the outdistriçts, among the untouched people, and with this plan William Harmon was in hearty sympathy. However, they decided to remain in Callao for awhile at least, until they were more familiar with the language and the people and the country. Here they helped in the work of another mission board, and gained valuable experience in doing so. But ever the call seemed to sound in their hearts to go forth into the interior. By the end of their first year, they had gone to Lima. The two young men met with much that made up the “problem” of Pèru which confronts the messengers of the Gospel. They had seen much of the thraldom in which the people were held. Both had studied the “Conquest of Peru,” and felt that they were prepared for conditions; but they found that words could not describe conditions. Gross immorality was rampant, a human life was rated very low, the cruel, dom inant character of the olden conquerors still survived in thèir descendants; and no mercy was shown to the Indians. Most pitiful of all to these two young Christians was the degradation of childhood: one might almost say that in many places there is no childhood in Peru. Little children of five and six become servants, and are even sold into slavery, and with cruel, harsh slave owners, the life of these little ones becomes worse than the proverbial “dog’s life.” ■ The first evening the young missionaries spent in Lima was one never to be forgotten by either. At first the city seemed to be the embodiment of life and happiness. Every where were beautiful houses, brightly colored churches, gaudy images, and sacred shrines. Flags flying from every conceivable point, green plazas, automobiles and carriages
