I^RASILIA Brasilia has been much in our publicity. We have reported church growth Sunday school is averaging 95 to 100;twenty-three baptisms this year; the church is active in missions. U S giving has reached her original goal. The unfinishedbuilding has been used for three years. NOW WHAT?

lUIAU HAS HAPPENED Where are we in this unique project ofan evangelistic center in the heart of the newest capital city inthe world? We have not finished the project. A small fund is onhand, but this is not enough. Many of YOU have continued tohelp and for this we are grateful.

DRASTIC DECISIONS have had to be made. There are two considera t i o n s :

1. A new campaign among the churches for funds-thecause is worthy.

2. Borrow funds for completing the project-possible inthe U.S., but difficult in Brazil with interest ratesover 25 annually.

share in this venture. Brasilia youth are campaigning to consolidate Brasilia-building new schools for their new capital. American youth arc challenged to share in an expression of L O V E(Lead Out in Vast Effort). Let this be the A B C this fall-ActionBrasilia-Cooperation.

SPONSORS AND DIRECTORS OF YOUTH ane encouraged to write forfull instructions for sharing in LOVE your neighbor. This activity will bring each participant a remembrance from Brazil. Writeimmediately that you might share the thrill of youth in action.Extend your hearts across the seas.

BRAZl . (URIS 'MAN MISSION

Can American ChurchesStill AffordMissionaryEvangelismA timely plea for a costly faitlthilness to the mission of God, i.s con.siiiuicdby chapter nine of the book, Oh.-iervations in Loner California, writ ten by a t.eiinan

Roman Cathol ic miss ionary priest, Johaiin Baegert, S.J., in 1771 (published 19r)2 byUniversity of California Press, Berkcly), says Ralph D. Winter in the Church GroulhBulletin for May 1970. World evangelization i.s a d if fi cu lt , d at ig cr ou s t ask whichunites all true churches in the fellowship of the cross, continues Winter. Manyare turning from this blood-markcd track and ra tiona li zing the ir lun iing by all sori>of psychological and theological arguments. History for all such is cotniug fullc i r c l e .Some Christian leaders today (both Protestant and Roman Catholic) are denigrating conversion and preaching that the era of church planting is over. In certaincircles'indifference and tolerance for al l religions...are increasing from day to day.'Leading men to accept the Saviour, accept baptism,and become responsible membersof the Church-in some quartersis accounted disreputable proselytization. Shouldany part of the Church turn from die g lo rious task of world evangelization, 11 wouldbe faced with Fadier Bacgcrt 's embarrassing questions.

Carrying out th e great commission is , as Karl Banii has said , on e of tlie marksof the Church. The t rue Church is always proclaiming Christ and persuading men tobecome Hi s disciples. The true Church is always seeking the lost and bringingth em b ac k to th e fold. The true Church b e l i e v e s in conversionin conversion to th eChrist who is the Way, the Truth and the Life, the Light of the World, the Bread ofLife, the Living Water, and the Resurrection. Father Baegert believed all this-andwe bel ieve i t, too. This is where any valid theology of miss ions begins. (Mr.Ralph Winter is professor of the His to ry of Missions SWM-ICG)

Following are some quotations from chap ter n ine of Baegert 's book: (He addressed his questions and remarks in thi s chapter to the Protestants, implying that theirlack of missionary zea l and evangelization proved they constitute no true Church.As Mr. Winter po in ted out . few today, Roman Catholic or Protestant, would agree.Th e last 150 years ha s seen a great awakening to missions. In Winters words, Agreat American denomination-the Churches of Christ, two and a half million bap-ized believersis only just now beginning to lake the great commission seriously.Bu t they awoke.

We reproduce t h is materi al here because it is timely, and recommend our readers subscribe to and read the Church Growth Bulletin (available for S per year fromNorman L. Cummings, 265 Lytton Ave., Palo Alto, Calif. 94301). But we especiallywant to open up a publ ic considerat ion of the appropriateness of supporting miss ionary evangelism. Yes, the churches of Christ, of which we are physically and proudly a part, have just awakened to a missionary zeal. But wc arc already seeing aserious decline in fervor tor fore ign missions. . Vrc we going to le t economic and pol i t ical circumstances , lukewarmne:>s, i nd if fe re nc e, wor ld li ne ss a nd unfai thfulnesswithin the Church suffocate and smother the missionary zea l of the churches ofChrist? We should ask, Would we be unfaithful to ouri .ord?

The following quotations from Baegert 's book touch th e nerve c en te r o f truemotivation to identify with and serve in the g re at m is si on of Christ.

Conversions are...c)iaractcristic of the True Church of the New lestamcnt,which does no t say: 'In viam gentium no abiertilis ' (Do not se t yrnir fe el in to idolatrous provinces and lands), but on the contrary: 'Go into the world and preach theword of (iod to all men.' (Mark 16:15) Th e Holy Scriptures f requen tly and emphatically demands of Chri st ian preachers to seek convert s. This work of conversionmust be carried on in order to conform wi th the many prophecies...

F i r s t : (I would ask tiiese Protestant gentlemen) If th e Apostles had remainedin thei r f a therland , sitting .t home behind th e stove, w here w ould the w orld an d e specially our Germany be today? And since the Apostles could neither l iv e for everno r go to every part of the world, they alo ne co uld n ot convert al l the heathen, andt he g rowth of the Christian church wa s thereby l imited. But under t he guidance andand for es ight of God, who watches over Hi s Church, t he .Apos tl es left successorswho would always follow in their footsteps and carry on their work of conversion inaccordance with Psalm 44:17-18 (in Catholic Bible. Psalm 45:16-17 of KJV, RSV andso forth.): Pro patribus tuisnati su m tibi filii. (Might we ad d Matt. 28:19.20makedisciples. Teach them lo observe al l t hi ng s tha t I have commanded you. And 1 Cor.3:10Like a skil led mast er b ui ld e r I laid a f ound at io n, and ano th er man is buildingupon it . Let each man take care how he builds upon it.)

(Continued from Page Two)sion of idolaters and to the growth of the kingdom of Christ?When will one be able to say of the theologians of Wittenberg andGeneva: The ir cal l went out into the world and they have beenheard in all the corners of the earth preaching the Gospel to thepagans. (Psalm 18:5-Psalm 19:4 in KJV and RSV) Daily preacher s are born to take the place of Luthe r and Calvin, but none toconver t th e h ea th en ; L ut he r an d Calvin were not missionar iese i ther

Second: I ask, does the definite command of Christ. (Mark16:15) Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to everycreature,' inc lude the Protestant preachers, or does it not? If itdoes, why do they not obey, and why do they wish to remain idlespectators of the Catholics, resembl ing those who buried theirtalent of silver or those found by the Father to be idling in themarket place? On th e o ther hand, if Christ 's command has nomeaning for them, then they cannot be counted among successorsof the Apostles, but only as followers of Luther and Calvin. Thatthe aforementioned command of Chris t does not real ly concernthem seems to be proved, par tly by thei r behavior and their ownsecrtat admission, partly by the fac t that Chris t would endow themwith .spirit and courage to fulfill this command as He did His Apostles and others. In more than two hundred yea rs ( si nce theReformation), as experience has shown, this has not come about;for whatever task God chooses a man. He will give him the means,talents, and strength needed to accomplish it.Third: I shall not speak of the hundred othe r propheciesconcerning the conversion of heathens. (They would all have tobe false if it depended upon Protestants...) But, may I ask, whatof the particular prophecy of Christ in Mat thew 24:14 that, before the end of the world arrives, the Gospel shall be preachedeverywhere and to al l nations? It is certain iJiat if, on th e onehand, the Protes tants have the only true Gospel and religion intheir possession, and on the other hand, their preachers wil l notdo better in the future than they have done in the past two and ahalf centuries in preaching the Gospel among the heathen, then

the Judgment Day will never dawn. They want no part in thework of convert ing heathen and, to all appearances, will do evenless of it in the future. Among them, indi fference and tolerancefor all religions and superstitions, including theism and atheismare increasing from day to day. These deformities, which originated among the Protestants are nothing but maii corvi malumovum, that is, evil fruit from an evil tree. Of course these gentlemen know quite well how to scatter their seed on the alreadyplowed and s ee de d t ie ld o f the Catholic Church.. .They catch thefish which are ne ar t he shor e. ..yet eagerly-avoid sailing on thehigh, raging sea of idolatry...in Canada, Cbina. Japan. Malabaria (Indiai. or in the land of the Caffres. For such work they haveneither courage nor imagination. 'The occupation of non-Catholic s is not to convert heathen, but to pervert Chris t ians. ' sa idTertullian more than fif teen hundred years ago (De praescripiAdv. haer. cap. 4).Fourth: I am asking you what do you think of Chris t s sayingin Luke 11:2.3 Qui non est mecum, contra me tst, et qui noncolligit mecum. dispergit.' that is : he who is not with Christ i.against Him, and he who does not help Him to gather, scattersand des troys . The Protestant gentlemen, their clergy as well astheir worldly authori ties , truly do not help Chris t to bring all thepagans into the fold of the Church. They le t the good shepherdsweat and run, bu t they themselves do not lift a foot to lead ilieerring sheep on the right path and to unite them under the shepherd s staff of Christ. Their pilots and seamen have been tryingto find a northern route to thcOrient for almost twohundred years,so that their merchant ships may reach Japan and China in lesslime: but their preachers do not search for any ways to penetrateinto Abyssinia, Tibet, the Great and Lesser Tariary, there to enlighten age-old heretics or to baptize idolaters or other unbelievers. What conclusions may be drawn from that? As was said before, and as Christ Himself ha s said, the Protestants are not forChrist; therefore they are against Him. In no way do they helphelp gather th e heathen into the Church...

THE BRAZILIAN WAY OF LIFE NEWS .AND NOTES(Conlinued Ironi Page Three)(This article was written as an assignment in English class taught by RuthSanders. The young man is a universitystudent and g av e permission for hi s composition to be printed.)

ach nat ion and it s people has a particular way of life. Brazil is no exception to this rule. As a matter off act, we have a very singular way of life.To talk about the Brazilian way oflife is to talk about the Brazilian tastes,the Brazi lian way of joking about every

thing. There is no sentence in this coun-try(or in any other) that a Brazilian wouldno t be able to make a j ok e about . Th eBrazilian way of life is in our cuscoms,manners of talking and acting.The Brazi lian can create, improvise.When we don t like something we can makean arrangement or as we say, da-se umjeitinho or quebra se o galho. Wehave a great tendency towardimprovising.A Brazilian may have a dozen professions.He understands a little of everything.

a meeting serious men are goingto make an important decision: To takepar t in t he Ca rn i va l.The entire nation is very tense andworried; Brazilian players are participatingin a soccer match on Sunday.The Brazilians feel a fanatic passion,not only for Carnival and soccer, but forso many other things.

Rice and black beans, a nationalBrazilian dish, is eaten in every home,every day, at dinner and supper. When a-broad, a Brazilian makes a happy patriotic celebration wheno/fered a feijoada(a meal of beans mixed with all types ofseasonings and meat).

Another peculiarity of th e Brazilians:complain about a pain and whoever is bes ide you will prescr ibe a thousand rhed-i c i n e s

Brazilians cannot go without drinking thei r ca fez inho, ( l it t le cups of blackcoffee). We would cal l i t che art of keeping us the whole night, standing at acafe's counter, extending a good-bye frommid-night until 4 a.m. How many cof feesdo we drink a day?

Bate-papo the s la ng e xp re ss io nmeaning to converse in an easy or gossipymanner; talk familiarly, is a genuineBrazil ian art. It has to b e b etwe en two.More tlian two and it becomes a speech.

There is th e samba, too. It i.s th eunique Brazilian rythmn that other peoplehave t ried to imi ta te unsuccessfully.And there are a thousand other thingsthat make this t ropical country, blessedby God, very different and unique in theworld.

After supper two teachers, sentby the priest, arr ived, and in our conversa t ion 1 asked Sr. .Amador if heliked t he Gospe l and he promptly answered that he did. He took o ut his

Catholic Bible an d asked me to t e l lhim s omet hi ng about th e Bible. Iread various Scriptures which heliked. One of the young men took alook at one of my booklets called,Help Frof i On High Scr ip ture passages), which I gave him. We talkedawh il e longer and tlien went to bed.ASTONISHING EVENTS AT VILLAGE CHAPEL

The next morning, Sunday, Istarted v is it ing var ious homes including the local judge. I was wellreceived, bu t no o ne w is he d to talkabout the Gospel, especially because of th e power of llie chief, Ifelt the call of the Spirit to go ou taway into t he woods and pray. As 1prayed, 1 felt that I must go to theCathol ic chapel where mass was tobe held at high noon. I met Sr. Ama-dor a t t h e / d o o r and told him I hadfe l t th e d e s i r e to a tt en d t he s e r v i c e .He invited me in and s a t b e s i d e me .

The priest s helpers began asking questions concerning rel igion andwhen no one else could answer, Sr.Amador asked me to respond, whichI did. After the meeting, the chiefstood up an d said, Sr. Arthur willnow go up to the altar and a sk questions of the two priest s helpers.So I went forward, asked questionsand then answered them myself, because no on e else responded. Sr.Amador then told me to read from th eBible. I did not quite know how toobey without closing the door to opportunity, bu t feeling the Spirit sleading, I opened to Xmos 4:12 andspoke of th e necessity of t he peopleof Israel to prepare to encounter God. . . t h e n to t h e l a t t e r v e r s e s o l Matthew 28 and spoke of preparing tomeet Christ. Other Scriptures thenfollowed: Mark 16:15, 16; Acts 2:26-29, concluding my words with theneed to accept th e co nditio ns th atJesus gave us in order to be saved.Everyone listened with close attention and at the close 1 sought Sr.Amador s permission to pray and hegave it. Everyone in one voice responded to my prayer with an, A-men. I then led th e group in severa l c h o r u s e s a n d th e o ld man M d e r e dme to teach them to th e youth present. as t he y wer e hi s grandchildren..At the close 1 gave out the booklet,Help From On High, and everyoneseemed happy with the service andsaid to me, The old man li ke d t hemessage.

AN ENTIRE FAMILY CONVERTEDLater that same day, 1 went

with young Rui Brasil to hi s farm tovisit with t he family that had invitedme si x years ago to come and studywith them. There were ten in thefamily and we studied late into thenight. It made me recall the story oft he Phi li pp ian j ai le r and hi s familyof Bible times. Though I told Sr.Belarmino, father of the family, thatI must leave at 4 a.m. to try to ge lt ransport at ion back to town, he Insisted that 1 stay and study with themon th e morrow. We were up early an dstudying until lunch time. .After lunchSr. Belarriino took me on horse backto make some visits to his neighbors,who received me since they had al lheard how 1 ha d b ee n allow ed topreach in the Catholic chapel in thevillage. That evening, we had apreaching service at Sr. Belarmino sand si x neighbor men arrived to takepart. At the close of the service,when I asked how many wished toaccept and obey Christ, accordingto t he Gospe l, al l 17 present mademanifest their desire to do so. Wekneeled together and prayed.

The nex t day 1 had to t rave l andeveryone arose an d at 5 a.m. we ha da happy worsh ip service and 1 wasfull of emotion in realizing how glorious is the work of the Holy Spiritand how different from human plans.

In Norton there is happinessWith wreath, and bell, and chime,With joyful faces everywhereReflecting Christmas time.With shoppers hurrying here and thereTo find the gift just rightFor little son or daughterBefore that special night.There's plans to make and things todoThat families might regatherTo eat and talk and th en recallThe Babe and virgin mother.Th e services in school an d churchAnd o ther s ' round t he townAll point to God's redeeming loveThat sent a Saviour down.

But this is Norton, U.S.A.Much preaching of the WordAl l seem to know th e story;Most everybody's heard.How very easy it can beTo se e our Christmas glowAnd secretly suspect and ask,Doesn t everyb^y know?

How very easy to forgetAmidst our joy and funThat the gospel of the SaviourHasn't reached to everyone.Still people by the millionsHave no Christmas joyThey've not heard the angel's songNor seen the in fan t boy.And Norton with its ' happiness,Rejoicing at this seasonSeems far removed from multitudesWith no hope, no cause, no reason.'Peace on earth, good will 'tward

menBy angels chorus 'twas sung.The same sweet message has for

y e a r sIn Norton clearly rung.From pulpit, home and elsewhereThe message we've all heard.Now may we celebrate in truthBy sending ou t that Word.For missionaries pray and weep.Their task is hard and lonely.But their desire is just as ours.To preach the gospel only.

But they are few, so very few-Supported when it's handy,Forgotten often when we're buyingChristmas cards and candy.Pray and weep, dear Christian,For our joy can't be completeWhile babes for whom Christ came

a nd d ie dAre shivering in the street.Not in Norton town, of courseOur own are wel l fed here.But in our world, a world new smallWhere every town is near.Oh, Chri .t child, come into our heartsAnd with your s imple b ir th ,Remind us of th e Father's loveFc^ all peoples of the earth.We seek no more to isolateOurselves from those in need.We only ask for holy helpAs we make Christ ou r creed.With faith in Him, and in His nameOur jo y we'll gladly shareThrough those we send, support,
