to Miss Corbett had been carefully
studied and she gave the gist of it's
contents in a short talk She had
made also directory of all who are
doing Educational Evangelism for the
Council in Brazil, and located the diff

aries and all who have studied con-
ditions in our sister republic are con-
vinced that educational evangelism is
necessary to correct Roman Catholic
error and to plant deeply in the life
of Brazil the faith Of the risen living
Christ. One of the great opportuni-

with its population of more than a
million, offers an ideal location for :
