It is supposed that in Brazil there are to-day
no less than 1,500,000 Indians. Most of these are
utterly wild and untamed, and have never seen
a white man. Their ways are the primitive ways
of the savage. Scarcely any mission-work has been
done among the Indians of the interior. F.J.L,

Hands Off, by Rev. Arth. Brunn, is a strong plea for

the Christian day-school. Its argumertis are unanswer-
able. In Family Worship Pastor L. Fuchheimer speaks

We heard the second-named song a few days ago at

that will appeal to you at once. F.J.L.
