VII
DEBORAH
DEEP in the heart of the greatest jungle in the world, many tribes await the telling of God’s love. The young man who, in answer to his mother’s prayers, had committed his life to Christ at a camp fireside meeting, setting his face to reach these tribes. Harold Reimer was soon in Brazil and enrolled in a language school in one of the large cities. Although he couldn’t yet speak Portuguese, he accepted an invitation to go along to a street meeting, give out tracts, and sing. For this first meeting he was to meet a group of Brazilian young people. The hot tropical sun bathed the streets, and the group sought the inviting shade of a mango tree which spread its branches in a great wide canopy. Harold couldn’t understand the conversation, but just to be with these radiant Brazilians was a joy. At one side of the group a fair-skinned young girl with a Bible and hymnbook in her hand stood talking. She wore a white dress with a full skirt tied with a sash of blue. A blue ribbon held up a wealth of shining lightbrown hair.
