A TUBERCULAR EVANGELIST After the war the incidence of tu berculosis among the children of Greece was 85%. Today thousands of persons are suffering from that disease, but there are only 6,000 sanitarium beds. There is hardly a hospital in that ancient land that has not been helped by the American Mission to Greeks, whose work it is a privilege to present to the readers of this magazine. Among these sufferers is Christo pher Harkiolakis on the island of Crete, whom we visited at the sani tarium. There were innumerable patches on his trousers, and his toes were sticking out of his shoes. He did not speak to us, however, of his physical misery and want, but of the way the Lord is using him among his fellow patients. An aged patient, overhearing our conversation, took a New Testament out of his shirt pock et and showed it to us, indicating that he was almost at the end. It was the first time he had had the oppor tunity of reading the New Testament in Modern Greek and he was simply thrilled. Brother Christopher then af firmed that, that was the experience of many of the patients to whom he had given the Word of God and tes tified for Christ. His family lives in a tiny village, the poverty of which is indescribable. His wife and two children, a boy and a girl, are as thin as rails. Their mother does not want to part with them and send them to our Orphan age, and who can blame her? What mother wants to part with her chil dren? But wouldn’t it be wonderful if our readers could take on their support? There are so many in sim ilar plight in Greece. We shall be glad to assign one to you. Home care costs only $15 a month. And for only $10 you can supply Brother Chris topher with 40 New Testaments for distribution in the sanitarium. What will your share be in helping the physically and spirtually needy in Greece?
