[Sister Alvear]

In the preface of a book that was written by K.S. Lee, a Chinese Christian are these words: "These pages are dedicated to the memory of my mother, who during her life time could neither read nor write one word, and she never traveled more than tem miles from her home. Born in a pagan environment, she died without the Christian faith. Whose sin was this?" "For how shall they believe n Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent?" There are millions of mothers all over the world today, born in pagan homes, who will die without the saving knowledge of the true God, unless you and I do our part. Whose sin is this?
Every time you breathe, a poor lost, untold, heathen soul struggles for his last breath, and sinks into eternal darkness, alone without hope and without God. Every minute many, many souls go out into eternity. Billions have never heard the sound of church bells. Every time the pendulum of your clock swings, someone that is ignorant of Christ's redemption grasps in hopeless despair as the curtains of death enshroud another heathen soul, taking him into eternity without God. Since we make up a part of the half of the world that has heard the Gospel, we are debtors to the other half, who have never heard.
