The people tanding at all :he window expre ed amazement ;hat we could put it through the leg without pain to the patient, not under– ;tanding the magic of local ane thetic. Then, we attached the re t of the ilpparatus. In jig time we had the 'Tlan rigged up in balanced traction vhi ch immediately traightened the .high and relieved the pain. Trop ical d iseases The rest of the day was spent jn ,eeing the weird and wonderful tropi– .:al di ea es which inhabit the place, uch as malignant malaria and Madura oot.

When la t I saw him the in– fection was for all practical purpo e gone, and the fractures of the thigh were quite solidly healed in ,perfect ,po ition. He was sent back to hi village to walk on a locally made crutch until the rainy ea on i over. Then , he's to r eport back for the final stage of his care, the operation on the knee.

Guide witnesses Throughout the ti111e bhi · Murung lad wa in Hebron , we as igned one of OLtr National Chri ti an (Sudir , who had erved a guide on my fir t trip ) to peak with thi lad and hi famil y ever y day about the Lord . We had r ecently .completed a short term Bible chool for national hri s– ti ans wh ich Sudir had a ttenc.ied. He took rhi fla h cards and tory n1a– terial to the bedside faithfully a nd told the e people of the love of hrist and of H is compassion for the1n. Thi wa uphill work, at be t, becau e the ~1~ -r ..ill ~ -~ Murungs have a language of their own. Sudir s,poke in Chittagonian, the trade language of the area, some of which the father understood. He then tran lated into Murung for the family. How we need someone who can master the difficult Murung language! We don't really know how much of the Gospel they under tood , but we know that they under tood Christian compa ion which brought surgery to the jungle. We need someone soon who can peak with the e people in their own tongue and tell them again of the ource of the compa ion. Pray for the Murungs.
