wide family, which included groups from all over
French Indo-China, and multitudes from foreign

stitions and other hang-overs from heathenism.
When Lazarus was raised from the dead, he came
out of the tomb still wearing the graveclothes. Jesus
turned to His followers and said, "Loose him and let
him go." That is His command to the Church to¬
day. It is her duty to loose the newly-born Christians
from the graveclothes of the flesh and the superstitions
of the old life, by teaching them the possibilities
of the Christ life and the beauty of holiness. This
was the burden of the conference messages, and
there were many seasons of confession and of getting
right with God.
On one occasion an Annamese-speaking Cambodian
came to the missionary saying that when he
was a child, a couple of small bars of gold had been
embedded in the flesh of his arm to protect him from
the evil spirits. He had no longer any use for such
superstitions, and asked that the bars be removed as
a testimony to his deliverance from the fear of demons.
A French doctor performed the operation,
and sure enough, two small bars of gold were found
there.
