Men & Things
By J. K. BREED IN
Many Americans know more
about France and Germany
than they know of Mexico,
Central and South America.
Mexico is quite a large coun
try and has appreciable mineral
wealth. I do not know of many
regular sailings from ports of
the United States to ports in
Mexico. I went over the border
from Laredo, Texas. I hopped
over from Arizona, Texas and
New Mexico. However I spent
a week in Mexico City, travel
ing by bus from Laredo, Texas.
Then there are places of inter
est in Central America over
looked by us.
As you know, the Panama
Canal was cut through the Is
thmus of Panama which be
longed to Colombia. The Pan
ama Canal, as you may rem
ember, is not a sea-level pass
age, but you travel through a
series of locks because the Pa
cific ocean is a bit higher than
the Atlantic ocean and your
ship is either raised or lowered
to offset the difference. That
is unfortunate as the whole
canal can be completely block
ed by damage to one of the
locks.
South of the canal you run
into South America, Colombia
being the first country of South
America. Colombia’s capital is
Bogota and it is not easily or
conveniently accessible. Colom
bia 'is reported to be rich in
minerals.
Sailing on the Pacific, after
leaving Colombia you come to
Ecuador—means the Equator
as you know.
Guayaquil is the big town of
Ecuador and it is up the river
some miles.
1 am told that the Panama
hats originated in Ecuador.
Coming South you come to
Peru El Peru, as they say.
Peru was the Spanish capital
of this part of the world and
the Viceroy had his capital in
Lima, the capital now, as then.
Peru probably provided most
of the gold for the Spaniards.
The capital of the Incas was
Cuzco in southern Peru.
The Inca had his royal state
and from Cuzco, ruled a vast
area. You may remember that
the Inca was on a visit to
Cajamarca when the soldiers of
Pizarro seized him and allowed
him to choose whether to dir
by burning or by strangula
tion.
Atahualpa, the Inca, profess
ed acceptance of Christianity
and was mercifully strangled.
What think you of that? All
that in the name of the lowly
Jesus.
During my first period in
Peru, as Regional Director of
the North, I had my headquar-
frers in Cajamarca.
Lima, the capital of Peru, n
a great city and is reached by
ship toCallao and from there is
about six miles.
Ships do not tie up at docks
in Peru, as a rule, but anchor
a mile or so out and visitors
come ashore in launches.
The ports of Peru are: in
the north, Talara, an oil cen
ter; Paita, Eetn, Salaverry,
Chimbote and Pacasmayo.
Principal towns are: Piura,
Chiclayo, Trujillo. Huancayo is
an important mountain city.
There is a railroad which runs
from Callao and climbs 17,000
feet to Tembledero. From Puno
one crosses Lake Titicaco (12,-
000 feet high) and crosses into
Bolivia.
In my day one could only
approach and leave Cajamarca
by horseback climbing and des
cending nearly 15,000 feet.
It is interesting to remember
a little matter of food. My
ship, coming home, spent two
nights in Guayaquil and some
one asked me if I had ever
eaten coconut ice cream and
added that it was very delicious
in Guayaquil. I spent some
time looking for that coconut
ice cream but never found it.
Five days later coming home
my ship was some hours in
Havana, Cuba. I had about for
gotten about the coconut ice
cream, but walking down the
principal street of Havanna
there was a building on a cor
ner with all sides glass. To
my amazement I looked up and
saw this: “Helados de coco”
(coconut ice cream). I made a
great mistake by ordering a
dish of coconut ice cream and
a big slab of coconut cake. The
two together killed the taste.
Recently, with much time on
my hands and unable to do
anything useful my mind turn
ed to several great preachers,
I heard some years ago.
During the period of my vis
it to London, just after the end
of hostilities of World War I,
one Sunday morning found a-
bout six of us in a building
across from the American Em
bassy. The secretary of the
building came up to us and
asked if we would like to go
to church. All said, “Yes.”
Then the secretary said, “Do
you have any preference?”
Singularly all wished to go to
the same church. Here w r ere
about six men from widely sep
arated parts of the U. S. but
all instantly agreed that we
wished to hear Dr. Jowett, Dr.
J. H. Jowett. We had heard
that Dr. Jowett had been urged
to return to England because
his great influence was needed.
The Doctor’s text was,
When the Son of Man Cometh
shall He find faith on the
Earth ? Then followed a gra
cious and sweet sermon that I
shall never forget. The congre
gation sang, and everybody
seemed to sing.
Anothei sermon that stays
with me was by eloquent friend
at that time pastor of Citadel
Square Baptist Church, Char-
eston, Dr. Howard Lee Jones.
Dr. Jones was one of the fam
ily of eloquent preachers—sons
of Dr. J. William Jones who
was Gen. Robert E. Lee’s chap
lain.
Dr. Howard L. Jones mildly
rebuked the ushers of our little
church, remarking, “When I, a
mere man, am speaking, you do
not allow any one to enter the
church; but when God is speak
ing thro His Inspired Word
the people came trooping in.”

'Whatsoever Things"
By DONALD E. WILDMON
Minister
Lee acres United Methodist Church
TUPELO. MISSISSIPPI
Somebody is always making the re
mark that the young people of today
are going to the dogs. Well, it is true
that they get their share of bad pub
licity. But that is true because on to
day’s market it is the bad news that
sells. I, personally, haven’t been brain
washed yet. I still believe in our youth.
And this belief was re-inforced by a
book I picked up recently.
My wife, Lynda, had bought the
book for her younger sister. I had
seen it around the house but had not
bothered to read it. I didn’t think it
pertained to me. I was wrong, for it
had a great deal to say to me. The
book entitled That Girl In Your Mir
ror by Vonda Kay Van Dyke, a for
mer Miss America, is the one I’m
speaking of. It will cost you but 60c
at the newstand if you can find it amid
all the filth. I want to pass along a
little of Vonda’s idea and ideals.
On the subject of drinking and
smoking she gives this advice: “I
don’t drink or smoke. I never have
and never will. My reason is quite
simple: ‘ . . . your body is the temple
of the Holy Ghost (Spirit) . . . ’ (I
Corinthians, 6:19, KJV). My body
does not belong to me. It is God’s and
it shelters His Spirit which came to
live in me when I committed my life
to Him. This is the spiritual part of
my life—this is where I really live.
“I have no right to harm anything
that belongs to God, and I believe that
His Spirit needs a healthy temple.
Liquor and cigarettes just don’t fit
in with my faith, and so they have
no place in my life.”
Then, on the subject of money and
it’s use, Vonda speaks: “Once upon a
time my parents gave me an allow
ance of twenty-five cents a week.
Now, that was a very big sum of
money to a little girl, and I struggled
through many a decision about the
way it was going to be spent. Only
part of it never gave me any trouble
—the ten percent I gave back to God.
“I still give God a tenth of my in
come and I always will ... It is my
job to make good use of that money,
to use it for Him to accomplish the
things He wants done in this world.”
About the “new” morality, Vonda
says: “Don’t be fooled by the kind of
popularity that comes in the door
when principles go out the window . . .
Don’t let a few words talk you out of
your personalitv, your uniqueness, and
all the hopes God has for you.”
About her faith, Vonda rejoices: “I
believe that Jesus is the Way young
people have been looking for; He is
the Truth they need; He is the Life
Eternal.”
Don’t knock the young people, and
don’t lose faith in them!
We don’t figure Vonda will ever
grace the pages of Playboy, but one
thing we are certain about. She has
already graced the pages of the Book
of Life. And it will be around long af
ter Playboy closes shop.
