South America

By E. R. P.

The readers of the Review have learned of the trip of Brother N. Z. Town, assistant secretary of the Publishing Department, by way of England and Spain. Under date of November 3, Brother Town writes from Diamante, Argentina:—

“When I reached here, I found Brother Max Trummer hard at work in the special course. He has a class of about twelve. We hope to start about ten canvassers here in the River Plate fields this summer, and some workers for periodicals. Brother Trummer is making good progress in learning the language, and will soon be able to make himself readily understood. I expect to go with him to the field for a few days when our institute closes. Then I will attend the Alta Parana general meeting, after which I will visit the canvassers here in Argentina again, and afterward those in Uruguay. I may attend the Rio Grande meeting in Brazil in February. The South American Union conference begins February 25, and closes March 12. I expect to attend this meeting, and we are planning for a book-men’s convention in connection with it.

“The meeting in Chile will probably begin March 26. I hope to arrange for an institute in Chile between the close of the union conference meeting here and the Chile meeting. Leaving Chile about the first of April, it will take about three weeks to visit Bolivia and get up to Lima, Peru. After stopping there one week, it will require another three weeks to reach Panama, where I should arrive about the twentieth of May. I may remain there several days, provided Brother Imus should plan to hold an institute. According to this program, I shall reach home early in June, about nine months from the time I left. It will take that time, even if I make good connections, escape quarantine, etc.”
