A MISSIONARY FROM BRAZIL.
Dr. J. W. Tarbeau was in the City on
Sunday.
Rev. J. W. Tarbeau, D. D., mis?
sionary to Brazil from the M. E.
Church. South preached in the First
Methodist Church Sunday morning
and in Magnolia Street Church that
night. He also lectured to the First
Methodist Sunday School in the after?
noon.
Dr. Tarbeau is a zealous worker and
a strong preacher. He has spent
nineteen years in Brazil, and is
thorouglhy conversant with social,
religious, political and industrial con?
ditions in that wonderful country.
He is an interesting speaker, and those
who had the privilege of bearing him
were highly entertained and instructed.
Recently the'government of the State
of Murias has removed its capital to
a new site, and is projecting a fine
city on modern plans. The legislature
of that State has given an entire
square in the heart of the capital city
to the Southern Methodist Church, on
condition that they erect thereon a
church, a parsonage and a school.
This is recognized as a valuable con?
cession to a Protestant Church, and
Dr. Tarbeau is attemping to raise six
thousands of dollars in South Caro?
lina towards the buildings. The
contributions received yesterday
were generous. The. native Methodists
of Murias have subscribed six thou?
sands of dollars also. These sums will
be supplemented'by the Church Ex?
tension Board of the Church, and the
work bids fair to become an accom?
plished fact in the near future.
