C. 3. -Dawsey, who preached on one occasion recently at Dials church, will -be read with interest by many of those who hea'rd hin besides others who know of him as a missionary to Brazil supported by the Spartanburg District of the Upper South Carolina Metho (list Conference: Steamship "Southern Cr6ss," 'Lat. 0, Long. 41. I am sending to my friends a. little message from the border line of the equator. We shall cross it within the next few moments, or may be we have already done so. (.However, I have felt no seecial bump of the shilp.) You would think of it as being unbearably hot hei'e, yet it is quite comfortable on board. There has been no noticeable change on the ship since we left New York as far as the heat is concerned. We are so far out on the ocean-three or four hundreds miles from the coast -that it is not easy to detect changes in climate. Thus far the Jord has been with and has led us. We left Net York on the 22nd of July. Our steamer, the "Southern Cross," sailed out of the harbor about six o'clock in the after noon. The -putting out to sea, for those going to a foreign country, Is an experience not easily forgotten. The giving up of native land and the -many friends dwelling there is no easy task. Our leaving this time was made easier by the presence of a nephew and his wife, who came down to the pier to tell us a last bood bye. We shall never forget the inspiration of their faces as they stood on the shore and waved their handkerchiefs as the "Bouthern Cross" made her way out of the harbor and started on her long journey to the land of the "Southern 'Cross." Thank God for those who stand oil the shore line of the home land and pray -for us who try to carry the message of love to our friends in Brazil. A large number of recruits are go ing out with us-25 in our party, I be lieve. Of this number three mission aries and. their families are returning. They are the -Kennedys, Borchers and 'Dawseys. Three new families are go ing out for the first time. They are the Carrs, the Taylors and the LMan chiesters. Of the Woman's Council Misses Epps and Brown are returning; Then there are Misses Brown, Caudill, Clark and Hardy that are going out as new recruits for our school work. All of the new ones impressed us as be ing workers of whom our church should be !proud, and I doubt not but that they are going to make successful missionaries. You will be interested to know that two of these new workers are originally from South Carolina. Mr. Manchester lived for some time in Spartanburg, his father being musical director for a number of years of Con verse College. Miss Brown Is from Sumter and lived there until about two years ago when her mother moved to Atlanta. Southi Carolina Method ism has made a large contribution to our missionary enterpr'ise in Brazil. I have been kcept abusy on board try ing to help 'Mrs. Dawsey see after the children, but even so I have found time to read a number of good books. Among others, "The Case Against Spiritualism," by Stoddard, and "A -Handful of Stars" by Boreham. I am interested .in spIritualIsm because it Is one of the great problems thlat we are' now having to face in Hrzazil. Greater In many resplects than the problem of Romanism. Fe'w of the loaders of South Amerkca would1 try to defend Rome tod-iy yet there arc quite 'a num~'ber who di. .Jrena Spir't nalism. The last book mentioned. "A Handful of Stars" is one of the most inspirational that I have read in many a day. Mr. Borchamn ls one of the grpat inspirational writer' e of today.
