The Greatest Need

By B. E. Connerly

It is axiomatic that Panama has long needed a canal. Navigation has suffered untold loss for the lack of a waterway across the isthmus. But what a loss have its aboriginal and Latin people suffered for the lack of the Word of God! Who today bemoans the delinquencies of the church, and who is willing to sacrifice to retrieve the loss? At tremendous cost in life and property, men have cut through the mountains to bring to accomplishment the mighty furrow from ocean to ocean. But who has been stirred to sacrifice to offer the Maya Indian and these Latins the message of salvation? The world has remembered its own, but to the Christian church, Panama is still as she was—sadly neglected.
