TIERRA DEL FUEGO, so called because of its burning forests, is a large island separated from the mainland of South America by the Strait of Magellan.

It is rich in gold and timber, but most of the people are engaged in sheep raising.

The Indians who first occupied the island are almost extinct. For a time, they were hunted like wild animals, as there was a bounty paid for their heads. Terrible are the records of their slaughter.

The Lord richly blessed in my first visit to the island. Souls were hungry for the bread of life. Bible studies were held every night, and great interest was manifested.

The chief of police was moved to tears as we traced the prophecies of the Bible pointing out the rise and fall of nations, and events to take place even in our day.

Many of those who could read bought books eagerly, that they might learn more fully of the way of life.
