Rev. W. A. Jones gave the study
book on Latin America. He said that
so often large countries such as
Canada and United States, who have
so much, lose interest in other
countries. South America has great
possibilities in resources etc., but
often lack the initiative and facili-
ties to make the most of them.
Railroads are almost unkown to these
people while they are quite familiar
with airplanes, jeeps, cars, etc.
The South American colonies have
agitated for freedom and now with
the exception of the Guianas there
is practically a free country from
Cape Horn to the Rio Grande.
The collection was received and
dedicated and the benediction closed
the meeting.
