A whole gen eration of boys grow up, in this coun try, who were never taught to obey; and when they reach young manhood they snap their fingers in the face of the law, determined to do as they please.

For the sake of white men, who may yet fall a victim to this awful hahit; for the sake of the Indian, now led far astray by its use; for the sake of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, the pray ers and co-operation of all good people is asked in the dealing of a death-blow to the pernicious peyote. —Richard H. Harper. It is reported that Dr. Auguste Du rand, land owner and proprietor of the newspaper “La Prensa,” has sold ap proximately 800,000 acres of land near Huanuco, on the Amazon watershed, to a Japanese syndicate. Three hundred thousand additional acres are in nego tiation. We would like to call the attention of every believer to the peril to Peru and to America gr,owing out of this move ment on the part of Japan. It has been the privilege of the Institution to hold services on the boats carrying many of these Japanese colonists to Peru, and to have the satisfaction of seeing many of them confess the Lord Jesus as Saviour. At present there is no evangelist or missionary among the thousands of Jap anese that have gone to Peru, but Budd hist priests have accompanied them. We have been praying that God will raise up some thoroughly equipped and qualified native Japanese to carry the) Gospel to these people. Will you not join us in prayer that this may be ac complished, if it please the Lord. -¿Ms- ate ate HEATHENIZING PERU.
