baptized, this has been little more than an empty
form, and many of the old heathen ceremonies are
still observed. Modern sanitation and education are
unknown-among these people. The rate of mor-
tality among them is higher than anywhere else in

We have a treasure in Christ’s Gospel that can
more*than offset the treasure of gold of which these
Indians were so shamefully robbed. The white man
has it in his power to do good to this race which
he has ruined: So far the white man has done but
little to right the wrong done to these poor natives
of South America. A half dozen schools and a
handful of preachers of the Gospel is all they have
received in return for all the millions of which they
were robbed. However, we hear that now plans are
under way to build forty well-equipped stations in
the near future and to man them with 147 workers.
The whole cost will be about $3,500,000, a little
more than one-fifth of the ransom exacted for the
release of a single Inca. F. J. L.
