Finally it be- | came evident that this particular idol was not going to return on his own ac- cord so a search was started. Two of a large cactus patch. With much care the orthodox pulled it out and had it restored. But in the height of his glory. He talked constantly about the uselessness of a stone god and called on the villagers to join with him. "That is all very well," they said, "you have escaped thus far because this is a good-natured (god. He has overlooked your insult. | Now beware or the terrible Karup- | panasawmy will get you" "Very well," said Paul, "we will try him out. I will go and sleep beside the fierce Karuppanasawmy for several nights. If he is able let him kill me." The people at first did not believe that he meant this. ing surely for this god looks ugly enough in the day time not to think of sleeping beside him at night. Some of the Christians even feared for their champion, because it would be easy for some fanatical Hindu to strike a blow in the dark in order to avenge the god. Then the cry would be raised, "See what the god has done. The god has vindicated himself against this fool-hardy man." But night after night Paul slept beside the much- feared idol and no harm came to him. Accepted as "Lost" This man has taken the unusua! way to profess his religion. I have talked with him and urged him to be friendly with the people and try to win them now by his "way" of love. He has proven before them all that all these idols are only of stone. The traditions of ages have been broken and he has called his people from a religion of fear and superstition to a faith of law and order. He continues to live in the village as a Christian and you might naturally expect that all his family and friends would now believe in him and follow his lead. But that is one of the strange things of India. They have simply accepted him as a lost member.
