Whether the hate is that of
person for person, group for
group, race io
for nation, hate is always the
winner and the people involved,
the losers.
The ideals and principles
which fashion our way of life
cannot survive in a climate of
hate. The person or group ped-
dling hate is always dangerous,
and is a threat to the well-being
of our social order.
Our differences as American
citizens do not necessarily
weaken our nation, but our hate
for each other does weaken it.
Hate is a social poison that is
deadly in its effect, and it
spreads like wildfire.
It is imperative that we learn
how to disagree with each other,
how to disapprove the ideas and
actions of one another, and how
to reject different ideologies
without letting our feelings turn
to hate.

political or whatever, if hatred
and bitterness become rampant,

about the growl .
and training of this group.
In 1917 Cam Townsend quit
Occidental College in Los An-
geles, packed a truck with
Spanish-language Bibles and
headed for Guatemala. He soon
found his Bibles were worth
nothing. More than two-thirds
of Guatemala's population were
Indians; few knew Spanish;
fewer still showed any interest
in learning.
One day an Indian to whom
Cam had offered a copy of the
Bible demanded, “Why, if your
God is so smart, hasn’t He
learned our language’’’ Then
and there, Townsend quit Bible
distribution in favor of giving
God another tongue.
For the next 15 years he
lived with the primitive Cakchi-
quel tribe in Guatemala, eating
their foot! (one diet item: toast-
ed ants), mastering their diffi-
cult tongue, gradually reducing
it to written form. Slowly and
laboriously, he developed a
simplified method for teaching
any phonetically written lan-
guage.
Finally in 1932, racked with
tuberculosis, Townsend rode out
again to civilization on a mule.
Back in the States, while re-
covering from the TB, he was
visited by an old missionary
friend, Leonard Legters, who
urged him to do for other Lat-
in-American Indians what he
had done for the Cakchiquels.
By now they have had over
4000 to go through training,
they are at work in 25 coun-
tries, and they have more than
1,500 translators in the field.
>48 of these translators are in
Mexico. We call this country
a closed door. This is one group
who has helped convince me
that although closed doors are
harder to go through, they are
not impossible. •
What do they do besides
translation? One single girl
in Mexico, Marianna Slocum of
Ardmore, Pa., converted 5.000
Indians from Sun worship to a
type of Christianity.
Their guiding principle is, all of us lose.

Dear Editor:
Being conscious of the great
need of mission work bore in the
two Carolinas and elsewhere,
Brother U.»A. Hall and I have
prayerfully discussed, planned
and look forward to being able
to secure financial support so
that we might go into mission
work as a team.
We would like to go into a
field where the Church is un-
known and establish a congre-
gation, or to where there is al-
ready one, but which is small
in number and help to build it

years, much of which baa boon

Brother Hall is 47 years old
and has several years’ preach-
ing experience and is a good
song leader. AU three of us,
Brother Hall, Sister Parker and
I have experience in personal
work, in both class and personal
teaching. Brother Hall is one of
the best personal workers in
the brotherhood.
We are acquainted with the
