In Patagonia

By A. G. Nelson

WE find Punta Arenas a thriving little city of seventeen thousand, made up of a cosmopolitan population. It is an important wool shipping point and coaling station. Being the distributing point in the far south, nearly all the vessels stop here on their way through Magellan Strait.

We never had a worker located here permanently before, though several years ago some of our books were sold in the Falkland Islands and in Punta Arenas by one of the pioneer colporteur band. On our way down from Buenos Aires we passed the Falklands, which are included in the territory of our southern mission field, along with the island of Tierra del Fuego.

As we seek to hold up the light of the closing message in these antarctic regions, we desire to be remembered in the prayers of all God's children.
