We have heard, not unmoved I trust, the wail of the Indian children
in the forests of Peru and Brazil, and have seen them in the Amazon
valley. We have watched them with painful interest and concern
in the streets of the various cities, children of all colours and
nationalities, and yet all of one blood with us, who call for our
sympathies, our prayers, our gifts, and above all, our love. They call
to us out of their deep need from the Land of Opportunity.
