with interest by the INTELLIaENCER's
readers:
We have just received private letter
from Rev. John S. Mattison, of our Brazil
mission, from which we make the follow

"You will do me the kindness to say to
our friends in your State that we are
quite we'll, and comfortably situated in
our new field. My charge, the English
congregation, is in q. very encouraging
condition, and We have many assurances
of kindly interest in us and our work.

and are busily engaged in their several
fields. Brethren Wolling and Lander,
with their respective families are we'll
and are opening up nicely at our new

much pleased with my surroundings here,
and have taken up the Portuguese gram
mar with more pleasure than had imag-
ined. talk good deal to the passers- by.
but they don't always catch the spirit OF
nv remarks. Once after making some
very complimentary remarks, as |
thought, to our milk man, he astonished
me by replying that he didn't understand
English. This is the coolest reception l
have had, but notwithstanding these little
discouragements have married couple
and performed other small Offices in the
Portuguese tongue, and have threatened
one of my friends here with letter

tion, and we are looking for glorlous
things in the not far distant future OF thls
