A Word From Brazil

By E. R. P.

The good ship on which Elder N. Z. Town has recently sailed from Barcelona, Spain, to Buenos Aires, Argentina, South America, made a brief call at Santos, Brazil, which enabled Brother Town to make a flying visit to our new publishing house at San Bernardo. In a letter dated October 21 Brother Town says:—

“I reached Santos the seventeenth, in the evening, too late to be entered. The next morning at eight o’clock the officials came off, and about nine o’clock we were in dock. In due time the steward hung out the notice that we would sail that same evening at ten. The next train out to San Bernardo was at 1:20 P. M., reaching there at 3:25 P. M. The last train back leaves San Bernardo at 4:47 P. M., so I would have only an hour and a quarter between trains. I wired Brother Pages to meet me at the train, and went. He met me, and we took a coach out to the office. They have a nice, light, airy building for their printing plant, and with the new press they now have, are prepared to do good work. As related to the entire Brazilian field where work has begun, they are well located, and it is a healthful place for the workers.”

Brother Town mentions the safe arrival of Brother Tonjes, the general agent for Brazil, his first institute work, and his labors in the field with the new agents. Let us remember Brother Tonjes in our prayers. He has an immense field before him, a new language to learn, and requires the courage and help which God alone can give for the undertaking.

In a postscript to his letter Brother Town tells of his safe arrival in Buenos Aires. The weather was good and the voyage pleasant all the way during the three weeks he was on the high seas.
