Many of the cities were built by means of airplanes that carried men and materials into the jungle where men cut down trees and built their cities, with sometimes part of the jungle left in the middle of them. And still many of these places have no roads to them, but all travel is by airplane. I’m right glad myself
like a native of Brazil that he is sometimes taken for one. One day he was talking with a missionary friend and a man standing by said something like this, “Excuse me, but I want to tell you how won derfully you speak English. I have been standing here listening to you, and I think you speak it quite the

The Crawfords How could a dog preach the gospel?
to keep four feet on the ground where I can chase rabbits, but I guess my family likes to fly and will have plenty of it. They think there is a good chance to preach the gospel of the Lord Jesus who gave His life for men in such places. There the people have left behind them home and friends and churches and seem so ready to listen to the Good News. Some of those towns have no churches of any kind. My family’s letters say that Brazil does not seem like a strange land to them any more. They love it and the people and feel they belong there. I must stay here where I belong, on the farm looking after our kind grand mother, and near enough to the Bob Jones school so that my Master David, now a big, broad-shouldered young man, can sometimes come to visit me. I cannot go down to the family in Brazil as he hopes some day to do. And what could a dog do anyway to preach the gospel? Yet in one of her letters, Mimi says there are 57 million people down there and 50 million of them have never heard the true gospel of Jesus Christ. And Brazil is so open to the message . . . couldn't you go?
best I have ever heard.” But is my family ever learning to speak Por tuguese! I am so proud of them. They say Mimi is “ quite fluent,” which I think means she talks it very well, almost as though she had been born in Brazil. Brazilians love children, and when fair-haired little Carol steps to the loud-speaker in a street meet ing, the people passing by smile and nod and then stop to listen to her sing, while Mimi and her father play on their accordions. That way they often stay to hear the gospel preached and that is the very thing the Crawfords went to the mission field to accomplish. Language school will soon be over for all of them and they hope to start inland to the part of that great country called Parana. Noble took a trip there to see it. He said it was very much like the early days in our own country that the girls read about in their history hooks. He saw people traveling in all kinds of ways, even in an ox cart—much like they traveled in the early days of sunny California. Out in Parana the soil is so rich it grows wonderful crops. It is called the new coffee frontier.
