Report From Brazil
BY REV. ANDY HOLSTON
Rioting: Berkley to Brussels,
China to Chile, Cleveland to Cal
cutta, Tokio to Tel Aviv. In fact
from Amsterdam to Zurich. With
sixth-sense premonition the world
is in titters, sensing the approach
of enigmatical evil. Occult but
real, formidable but inescapable.
With utterances like the muted,
anguished, and angry whispers of
a mother bird as the serpent en
twines the branches of her nest—
humanity chirps against the
sadistic envelopment of her world
by spiritual iniquity and diaboli
cally fired high treason. Her
lung's bursting with desire to cry
for deliverance, she, like the
world, dares not; lest her naked
peril be discovered and her hope
lessness by stroke of fate pass
unnoticed.
And so the heart fainting cry
of the spirit of man today is muf
fled by hands full of logic and
fruitless gropings. Nearly ex
hausted are the explanations for
the behavior of youth today,
which have burst forth from ev
ery conceivable environment in
quest of “something.” Poverty,
poor education, racism, bondage,
a contemporary religion outdated,
and multitudes of other things
ranging from anarchy to anti
anathematization have been sug
gested as the underlying cause
of today’s unrest. The nervous
world is clamoring for something,
and HE will soon appear.
The spirit of man is acuately
tuned to reality, and it senses and
horribly dreads that epoch of
human history which will be en
countered if the Bible is pro
phetically accurate. The stage is
being set for the great reception;
the world is rushing toward the
man who has all the answers to
all the problems, politically, so
cially, and religiously, and will
bring unprecidented peace to
mankind. It sounds like Jesus
Christ, but it is not. Unfortunate
ly His plan of peace and salva
tion is now behind the rushing
millions who passed the narrow
way without a second glance.
The ANTI-CHRIST is waiting

to deceive the world in the great
est hoax perpetrated against hu
manity since the Garden of Eden.
Well warns the Scripture against
the great deceit of this age, that
'“falling away”; urging Believers
to ‘'stand fast, holding the tradi
tions which have been taught”
(il Thes. 2) and to “take heed
.hat ye make your calling and
election sure.” The Bible has the
answer and the only escape route
possible around this great pitfall
of deception. (Avery good book
in print since 1943 is PROPHECY
—WHAT LIES AHEAD?—by
Oswald J. Smith.)
AHEAD FOR US. We’re re
maining in Campinas until Jan
uary 31, completing the final
semester of language studies and
having assigned to us also the
OMS Church here in the city.
The student body elected me
(Andy) class president which
brings honor but also responsibil
ity. Pray for us in these endea
vors.
THE NIGHT SEEMED UN
USUALLY DARK when we saw
our visiting mothers and Maria
and Andrea on the plane a few
days ago. But we had a wonder
ful two weeks of reunion before
the day arrived for their return,
the girls to leave for the coming
year of school in the USA.
Please pray for us in these days
of separation, as we draw heavily
on His Grace and seek to follow
God’s leading.
THE GOOD NEWS FOR
MODERN MAN is just that as
we continue to receive wonder
ful testimonies from the hun
dreds of Testaments received and
distributed. Jewish New Testa
ments and Gospels have arrived
for a special work. Thank you so
much for your interest and pray
ers.

Local Airman
Helps Land
Record Shark
A Jackson airman, Jerry C.
Polk, stationed at Tyndall Air
Force Base, Florida, can boast of
helping catch what was probably
the laregst fish ever caught by a
Eutts Countian. He was one of a
group of several other service
men who last week caught a 645
lb. shark, the largest on record
this year in Florida.
In a letter to his mother, Air
man Polk said that the monster
shark was caught on a 700 ft.,
150 lb. test wire rope with a
chain leader and a shark hook.
The hook, Jerry wrote, is about
the diameter of a pencil with a
three inch barb. It was baited
with a 15 lb. bonita, a fish that
has a special appeal to sharks.
Jerry told his mother that the
bait was carried out some 100
yards from the boat on a surf
board and released. He said it
was about 15 minutes later when
the shark struck. When the huge
fish took the bait, the hook was
set and the fight was on. The
trophy shark measured IOV2 ft.
and when the fishermen brought
it to shore they posed proudly
with their large catch.
