ing. the Word of God is withheld from
the people there. There are many
churches sin Brazil where no sermon
has been preached In a generation.
Speaking Of the encouraging growth
Of Baptists missions there he quoted
the church statistics which showed far
more converts in Brazil than in China.
In Brazil the Baptist missions have
been in existence for thirty years, in
China for sixty years, and while there
are three times as many missionaries
in China as in Brazil, the latter coun-
try shows more converts, a number,
the speaker believed, which would
reach fourteen thousand within the
next three years.
DR.. Ray told Interestingly of his ex-
periences while in Brazil. He spoke
of the earnestness and single purpose
edness of the converts and what many
of them suffered for the sake of their
belief. He told of many marvellous
GUS conversions, and of the great faith
of the people. They give % cents a
piece for foreign missions, and eve
don't know anything about poverty in
this country when compared with con-
ditions there. We don't know any
thing about poverty and we don't know
what it is to give"
The gain Of twenty per sent shown
last year was very encouraging, but
the need Of additional men and money
was most urgent. for Brazil Is land
where great harvest for the Master
is literally ripe.

He found in South America a very
vigorous and thriving organization of
Baptist missions. Eventually there
will be but two missions in Brazil, one
in the northern and one in the south

America represents the last stand of
the Latin races, whose people have
elements in them which will contrib
