JOY when we caught sight of the
faces of Dr.. and Mrs. J. W.
Shepherd. missionaries of our
faith, come to meet us, take US
ashore and show us Rio and our
Baptist seminary. How good it
did feel to walk on terra frma
once more. The gospel has had
a good reception in Brazil, and
we are not surprised at the large
number.of conversions reported
yearly.
A day and night were far too
short to spend in so interesting a
city but our captain said, Hands
to the Wheel" and so we found
ourselves locked in Santos the 18th
of November, the first time our
boat had done such a thing since
we left the British Kingdom.
Bro. F. M. Edwards, of Sac Pau
10, whom we had known in the
seminary, spent the day with us
to our liking. On the 9th we
reached Montevideo, of Uruguay,
and saw the mountain (0 from
which the place is named. On.
the other side of the river was our
destination, but 12O miles away.
A bit weary of a month on the
water, we eagerly awaited the
coming of the morrow and a look
at our adopted land. Mission
aries Sowell, Spight and Hart met
us and assisted us in many ways
in the large and interesting city
of Buenos Aires,
A word as to our outlook for
our work: Truly, a great door
is open to the gospel in Argen-
tina. Her constitution grants re-
ligious liberty and the officers
give us all the protection we could
ask. We had four policemen
keeping order at our Barracks
service last week and could have
had more if it had been necessa-
nv. The Catholics are strong
here, if we are to judge by the
number of churches, priests, con-
vents, etc. Yet they are weak
when it comes to propagation by
house to house visiting.a
Our work was opened by S. M.
Sowell's coming to Buenos Aries
in 1903. We have been we'll re-
ceived though our congregations
are not always large. We do not
lay as much stress on numbers as
we do on a regenerated life. AT
present we have five churches
and some half dozen other preach
ing points opened. 1t is not I'M
likely that we are working among
the most cosmopolitan people on
earth. The following nationali-
ties are to be found already in
the membership of our churches:
Argentines, Spaniards, French,
Italians, Germans, English, Irish,
Scotch, New Zelanders, Canadi-
ans and Americans. Often the
members return to their homes
or go to some other section of the
country and so we feel that we
are in one of the worlds strate-
gle points. We are preaching in
rented halls at present and with
comparatively poor equipment;
we have won our members not al
together from the humblest class
es but some from the cultured ele-
ment. The work is slow and
difficult and We are not dismayed.
Great things are expected for
Argentina in the coming years,
sol we give ourselves diligently
to the sowing. May we not have
the sympathy, prayers, and hear
ty financial support of every
church in the bounds of the South
ern Baptist Convention?
