The Rev. DIR. Francis f. Clark, presi-
dent Of the Endeavor movement. has just
returned from a trip to South America.
DIR. Clark thinks that in some respects
BRAZILIAN Endeavorers excel North Amerl-
can id avorers. For one thing. they all
wear their badges at conventions, and
often at other times as we'll. A Brazilian
Endeavorer who does not own and wear
a G. f. badge at all appropriate times Is n
rarity.
The prepondernnce of men at the meet
;ngs also impressed DR.. Clark. Always
there were as many men as women, and
often the men far o~utnumbered the women.
The singing was excellent at the South
American conventions. especially In Rio.
where the choir Ind been trained by the
Rev. Constancio II. omegna. the president
of the Brazilian and the South American
Unions, who is an excellent singer aud
choir leader.
AT Lisbon DR.. Clark received hearty
greetings In writing from the two societies
OF Portugal. or In Coimbra. and the other
In villa Nova de Guya. One of the letters
was signed by sixty-two names. and repre-
sents a most vigorous society, whose
photograph We will show our readers at q
later date.
While waiting for the steamer for Amer
lea DIR. Clark and his daughter spent one
day In Liverpool as the guests OF Mr.. Hope.
They greatly enjoyed n trip up the Dee
from Chester, during this stay on shore.
with some Endeavor friends from Chester
and Liverpool.
DIR. Clark wishes to acknowledge the
klndness of many gentlemen In our diplo-
matte and consular service during this long
journey. The American ministers TO Pan
anna. Peru, Chile, Bolivia and Argentina
showed 10 MIN ana MS dauRntef every
courtesy, as did Colonel Dudley, our am
bassador to Brazil. Colonel Bryan, too; the
popular minister to Portugal. received the
travellers at Lisbon with great cordiality
during their short stay in that beautiful
city.
