After centuries of primitive savagery, AFRICA GOES MODERN! Educa t ion is th e key to African progress. Every year thousands more Afri cans are learning to read. With thi kill comes new knowledge, new ideas, ne,v yearnings for progre s. The growing literacy is also the key to evangelization in modern Afri ca. 'ow Africans are reading, but not enough of then1 have the Word of God. The Pocket Te tan1ent League cam· paign is vi lal lo modern Africa. We are di tributing the written Word to thou and each month. The demand for criptures is growing clai]y. J f modern Africa i lo be a Chri sti an Africa, they must have the Word now. Your prayer fellowship is vital. • Write today, A sk / or <t Jree copy of our Quarterly . . -.~-:s.··'"=-~ ·..., .:,••, _..
