the first consignment of these New Testaments to read from a b o ok printed In their own tongue. The mis sionaries supervise the school work, helped by the more advanced natives, w i t h one object In view, namely to teach the natives to read the Word of God for themselves. Just before Mr.' Crawford died, he also finished the translation of the Old Testament Into Luba-Sanga, but before It can be de livered In Africa and distributed, It will require some £1500 or £2000, o f which the natives themselves can con tribute only about 10 per cent. Surely It will be a great privilege to us In the homeland to make up the balance and have part In so great a work, which will form a living and a last ing monument to the memory of Dan Crawford.

Andrews, Pastor of the First Baptist Church, South Bend, Washington, Is publisher and editor. Mr. Andrews is an old “ Fisherman” and a firm friend of B.I.O.L.A. and The King’s Business, and we congratulate him upon the excellence of the matter contained In “ The Chaplain,” and upon the real soul-saving work which his church Is doing In South Bend. Pray for him. m Every contributor to the work o f the Bible Institute of Los Angeles to the amount of ten dollars or more will receive The King’s Business for one year.
power and claims of the Gospel. He counted all time, and every place, an opportunity to serve his MaBter. Many a one heard the life-giving Word, even in the middle o f the night, from his lips. He lived for Christ and the Gos pel’s sake, and has left many living monuments to the grace of God as standing witnesses to his faithful ministry. While spending some time In Africa with Mr. Crawford, he asked me to take the Gospel meeting one after noon. Eight hundred to 1000 natives were present In the hall (Mr. Crawford was the Interpreter). After the meet ing he said: “ Come and see' this.” It was a sight I will never*/orget. To all appearance only a heap of rubbish, and queer looking things. But what did It all mean? It was that these natives had given up their fetiches, having believed the Gospel which Mr. Crawford preached so faithfully, and accepted Christ as their p e rson a l Saviour. In their old state, they held tenac iously tb these things, counting them dearer than anything else. A mother would rather put her child In the river for the crocodiles to feed upon than neglect her heathen customs. The Gos pel, h ow ev e r , w o rk s m a rv e llou s changes,- for when these Africans re ceive It,they can stand by and see their fetiches being consumed by the flames. It Just proves the old Gospel (and that alone) is still the “ power of God unto salvation.” Mr. Crawford some years ago trans lated the New Testament into the Luba-Sahga language, and It is now read by thousands in the Katanga dis trict. There are over 300 schools in that part of the dark Continent, and many other schools in other parts, where the same language is used, in which the natives have been taught to read, by missionaries who have gone from England', Scotland, Ireland, Am erica, Australia, New Zea land and other countries. They have no news papers, story books or literature of any kind apart from the New Testament, it being the only book printed in their language. It was a memorable occasion when these Central Africans stood around
