Excerpt from Brazilian Sketches I have endeavored to draw a picture of the religious situation in Brazil by reciting facts. I have described some of the work of others 'done in former years and I have recorded some wonderful manifestations of the triumphant power of the gospel which I was privileged to see with my own eyes. Those pages record testi mony which thing, I take it, most people desire con cerning the missionary enterprise. More arguments might have been stated and more conclusions might have been expressed, but I have left the reader to make his own deductions from the facts I 'have tried faith fully to record. NO attempt has been made to follow in detail the itinerary taken by my wife and myself which carried us into Brazil, Argentina and Chili in South America, and Portugal and Spain in Europe. It is sufficient to know that we reached the places mentioned and can vouch for the truth of the facts stated.
