MIRACLE OF THE ORIENT
PHILIPPINES
By Roy A. Cloudt
In our last article we discussed the act-
ivities of just one day of our preaching tour
of the Orient when, in the Philippian Islands
■we saw 48 men surrender their lives to Jesus
Christ and to accept Him personally as their
Lord and Saviour. In later issues of our fine
Howe Enterpris I would like to share with
you some of the glorious experiences received,
While touring Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong,
and the Hawaiin Islands.
Today the Philippian Islands will capture
our attention again with just a brief look
at these three areas: I, The Land; II, The
People; and III. The Need.
I. THE LAND.
The Philippines lie on the Pacific Ocean,
600 miles off the south-east coast of Asia,
and a few degrees above the Equator. To
the north lies Taiwan, to the south, Borneo
to the north and west, the China Sea.
The Philippines consist of 7,107 islands,
429 of which are more than a square mile
in area. The largest island is Luzon, with
an area of 42,000 square miles. The tota
land area is 115,000 square miles and the
total area including territoral waters is 694
490 square miles. The highest point is the
summit of Mount Apo, 9,610 feet above sea
level; the lowest point, the Philippine Deep,
35,440 feet. The islands show evidence of
volcanic and coral origin. The temperature
ranges from about 60 to 90 degrees Faren
heit, with an average mean temperature of
80 degrees. There are two seasons, the rainy
and the dry.
35 percent of the land is under coltr
tion. The main agricultural products are:
coconuts, sugar, hemp, rice and com. The
.and is rich in minerals: gold, silver, iron,
copper, chromite and manganese. The Phil-
ippine Islands were named after prince
Philip, later King Philip II of Spain.
II, THE PEOPLE.
The 27,500,000 Philipinos who inhabit the
islands are the offspring of many races.
They art descended from the Indonesians
and Malays who migrated to the islands
ong before the Christian era, but in their
veins also run the blood of the Chinese,
who came to trade as far back as the 9th
century.
The Philippines have 87 native languages
apportioned among regions, provinces and
tribes. English, Spanish and Tagalog are
the official languages. As a result of Amer-
ican administration in the first half of this
century, English has become the language
of education and business, and the language
of law and constitution. Spanish is a sur-
vival of the colonial era; most Philipinos
carry Spanish names, and a fair amount of
Philipino literature was written in Spanish.
Tagalog, the national language, like many
other native languages, has adopted words
from Arabic, Sanscrit, Chinese and Spanish.
III. THE NEED.
The greatest need of the Philipino is the
same as yours and mine—that is a personal
vital, living experience with Jesus Christ
Jesus said to Nicodemus (in John 3:7) “Ye
must be bom again.” It would have been
better for man never to have been bom, if
he has not been bom again.
In the Philippines 83 percent of the
population claim to be Roman Catholic,
10 percent Protestant, 4.5 percent Muslim
and the rest pagan. Everywhere we went
we found a deep respect and admiration for
the American and a desire on the part of
the Philipino to listen and give heed to what
Was said. Approximaly six dozen Americans
spent two weeks preaching and witnessing
from nipa hut to nipa hut in the two major
islands, Mindanao and Luzon and 6,037 trust-
ed Jesus as Saviour. God blessed with
MIRACLE IN THE ORIENT!
