The Other Sheep OCTOBER 1951 —“For their rock is not as our Rock . (Deut. 32:31) 'JpHis picture shows our Indian worker, Rev. Decker Yazzie, a full­ blood Navajo who is stationed at Low Mountain in northern Ari­ zona. The rock is supposed to be the image of a giant who lived long ago. Since they believe certain death will come to them before the day is over to punish them for going near it, the Navajos fear the awesome stone. Brother Yazzie tried to convince the people of the folly of believ- irig this old story and climbed on the rock. The day passed and nothing happened. The Indians were greatly puzzled. Then an old, wise man found the answer. He said, “The Chindee [the evil spirit | fears this man of God and he has no power over him." But he continued, “If I or someone else had done this, we would have died that same day.” Yes, this happened in the United States of America, not in a heathen land far away.

Amore unusual 911—from the Porsche factory, at any rate—has never been seen.

The lion’s share of the 98 starters had outfitted themselves with extensively customized factory cars from seven nations, including some old favorites such as BMC, Simca, Hillman, Moskvitch, and DAF. One thing was reasonably certain: the borders in conflict zones would re-open for the first time in ages; the Daily Express and the Sydney Telegraph, as sponsors of the event, had done their diplomatic homework.
