wrought when the poor Indian was made a new creature in Christ and became a child of God. The change in his whole being was wonderful. He was keen and eager to go back, to find his family, if possible, and to tell them the story, to tell his friends also. Then it was he who begged the two young men to come to his old home and teach t h e . Indians this wonderful story. The young missionaries both felt the call was for them to go further into the interior, and to work directly among the Indians, even though the conditions among the educated Peruvians seemed equally as pitiful as that of the down trodden Indians. When the Indian had departed for his home, Randall and William prepared to go to Cuzco, the olden time capital of the land of the Incas. It was a nine-days’ journey to reach Cuzco, three by steamer, three by train, and three by horseback, and what a contrast! Lima near the sea, in the dry, rainless region, with its only moisture of sea mists, and Cuzco, 11,300 feet above sea level, with the clear, dry atmosphere of such places, and its brilliant sunshine with its cold nights, and the snow-capped Andes visible in the distance. Greater con trast was observable in the nature of its inhabitants. Here in the ancient capital of the Children of the Sun, the Indians were more numerous and clothed in their picturesque native garments. Here the Quechua language was heard much more frequently than the Spanish of Lima. And all about were the ruins and monuments of those wonderful archi tectural feats of the old Incas more than four hundred years old, CHAPTER 12 “THE LORD OF THE EARTHQUAKES” B UJT was with difficulty that William and Randall were | | | able to obtain lodgings in this historic city; word had gone out over the city that two dangerous heretics had arrived, and they found themselves watched. The priests, with the bishop at the head, stirred up great trouble and even threatened a bloody revolution unless these two dangerous persons were expelled from the city. The two young men apparently could get no foothold in the city, although, they tried faithfully to preach the Word publicly and privately. They gave out tracts and portions of the Scripture, but these were gathered together by the priests, and during a public demonstration were burned before the Cathedral. There was more than one shout from the motley crowd gathered there that the foreign here tics should meet the same fate as their literature. The two friends prayed long and earnestly and talked over the situation, not finding a solution of their difficulties, yet sure in their hearts that God was with them and would open their path in His time. - . , ? ' William pondered long in his heart about the Indian they had succored in Lima. The problem of how one could reach the Indian in the out districts seemed constantly in his mind, perhaps more because of the seemingly hopeless task of making any headway in the city. One day he spoke of his thoughts to Randall, and found that he too was thinking that there might be a way of reaching the Indian away from the cities. Having been raised on a farm, Randall naturally turned his thoughts in that direction, and he proposed the purchase of a large farm. He had heard that in the interior there were farms containing as many as ten square miles, and some of them even larger. “If we procured one of these farms, we could probably prevent the priests from coming into our land. We would, of course, need workmen to develop the land, and they could probably be induced to move their families to the
