They were under constant scrutiny by the Inquisition, which flourished almost 800 years ago. The Albigenses were most conspicuous of the numer- ous sects of that time. The politically astute Pope Innocent III used vari- ous methods to meet the distressing and menacing onslaught of these het- erodox groups.

They were con- temporaries of the famed trouba- dours, some of whom may have been at least sympathetic to Albigensian beliefs.

Be- ing a lover of religion and freedom, she joined many others in the long trek to the south and freedom. Thus it was that she arrived in Saigon—where she knew there was an Adventist church. A stranger in this big metropolis, she began to ask everyone where the Adventist church was. Catholic churches there were in abun- dance. Then someone led her to a Protes- tant church and said that was the one she was looking for. When she found they kept Sunday, she knew it was not her church. Finally the day came when someone led her to our Adventist church in Cho- lon, a suburb of Saigon! Oh, the rejoicing in her heart--to be at home with those of like faith after so many years! Yet an- other joy awaited her. As she set foot in- side the churchyard, she looked up to see —no, her eyes were not playing tricks on her, yes, it really was—Paul Hung!

ROBINSON Retired Missionary From three colporteurs to 155, the lit- erature work in Mexico has developed in the 58 years since I was a literature evangelist there. From four churches to 432 in southern Mexico—how the work has grown! I had retired from active work in Mexico in 1949. Now in 1967 I was going back to see what God had wrought. In C6rdoba I met with 75 lively, well- dressed, and consecrated young people who had come for a colporteur institute. I shared the instruction with Francisco Jimenez, new union leader, and Benja- min Riffel, from the Pacific Press. Going north to TorreOn, we met with 80 others from the northern half of the country.

Afterward I was able to visit some of the workers I had known years before, in their meeting in southern Mexico, where the growth of churches is so extra- ordinary. Our 432 churches have 35,000 members, and the 1,132 Sabbath schools have 95,000 members. One of the six mis- sions has 4,100 branch Sabbath schools. The laymen are certainly doing their part to get many ready for the coming of Jesus. While in that region I visited the Linda Vista school, begun only eight years ago with some 57 students. Now 390 fine-looking youth are preparing to help finish the work in Mexico in this generation. I appreciated seeing their zeal and initiative and was delighted to hear that 61 of them had gone out last vacation with our papers and magazines to earn their expenses in school the fol- lowing year. Just nearby, up the hill a mile high, is, the self-supporting clinic and hospital of Yerba Buena, working for the Chamula Indians of that area and bearing a most helpful influence.
