House, Grand Rapids, Mich.; $3.95. The well-known author of mission ary journals dealing principally with the ministry among the Auca In dians in Ecuador entitled “ Through Gates of Splendor,” “ Shadow Of The Almighty,” and “ The Savage, My Kinsman,” has produced a new novel about a young American missionary in the high Andes. This volume vividly relates how this missionary’s faith was tested by circumstances and tragedy. The story deals with the problems which are faced by a new servant of Christ taking up work among the Quichua Indians in the high Andes of Ecuador. The work moves painfully slow, but because of the missionary’s determination, sus picion begins to lift from the hearts of the people. It was through the medical triumph when the 25-year- old American missionary delivered the first baby of one of the Indians that the word spread widely. Then the doubting Indians came to see the señorita to listen to her classes and to attend her clinics. — 245 pages; cloth; Harper and Row Publishers, New York, New York; $3.95.
