Portugal

By C. E. RENTFRO.

CARCAVELLOS.—This is a small villa of about one hundred people, part of whom are English and part Portuguese, and is about twelve miles west from Lisbon, toward the ocean. We can see some small mountains about six miles away. For exercise, while studying the language, I run down to the beach, and on the way pass through the grounds of an English submarine cable station. We can see all the ships entering the river Tagus to the harbor of Lisbon.

A week ago we organized a Sunday-school for the benefit of the English children here, having been requested to do so. This is something new for them, although they have preaching services twice a month by English ministers from the city.

I am translating some original articles into Portuguese, for publication in our paper published in Brazil. Of course, my teacher assists in correcting. I wish some kind friend would send us clean, unwrinkled copies of the Signs, Watchman, Instructor, and Our Little Friend, for distribution among our English friends. Remember our work in your prayers. C. E. RENTFRO.
