Interesting Letter from Will Payne, Missionary in the Argentine Republic. He Leads a Strenuous Life Among the Mexicans.
E ARLY in November I had to go to Buenos Aires, and I took advantage of this to hold some gospel meetings in Rosario and Santa Fe and to help a little at a few of the assemblies in the Buenos Aires district! At Quilmes it was very encouraging to see how the work is growing and how the band of workers, with our Brother Drake, work so happily in the Sunday School and open air meetings. In spite of the big strain of the press work our brothers, Drake and Couchman, find time for a good many meetings. I had a Sunday with Mr. Petter and the others at Calle Brasil. The crowd of sym pathetic friends reminded me of the happy days of service years ago with Mrs. Payne in the large tent that we had on the site of the present hall. At Lanus we had a full hall for the one meeting that I f.was able to have with Brother Williams. He misses the help of Brother Airth, now with the army in
Europe, but it was good to see how Mr. Lawrie is throwing himself into the gospel work, i The three days with Mr. Strange, on the river and at the meeting at Tigre, were enjoyable. The molbr launch “Good News” is well known on the river, and we were able to visit a number of places with the message of life. The crowded hall at night was a delightful sight. I spoke to several converted persons. A young ex-Jesuit priest has professed conversion and we trust that he may prove real. He tells of much persecution. Special meetings were arranged at Rosario, and although the weather was stormy, we had a full hall at most of the meetings, when many souls were dealt with. On the Sunday the hall was packed to excess and about fifty to sixty persons filled the windows and doors. The Sunday School is splendid. I spoke to an adult class of about seventy-five, while there were some fifteen classes going at the same time.
