Prepai'ed under the direction of Prof. E. N. Horsford.

This preparation is recommended by Pliy-
sioians as a most excellent and agreeable tonic
and appetizer. It nourishes and invigorates the
tired brain and body, imparts renewed energy
and vitality, and enlivens the functions.

Dr. P. W. Thomas, Grand Rapids, Mich., says:

" Que of the best of tonics. It gives vigor, strength and quiet

sleep."

Dr. H. K. Clark, G-eneva, N. Y., says :

" It has proved of great value for its tonic and revivifying
iuHuence."

Dr. R. Williams, LeRoy, N. Y., says:

"A good general tonic, and worthy of trial."

Dr. J. H. Stedman, West Brattleboro, Vt., says:

" Best tonic I ever used."

A TELEGRAM brings the sad intelligence
of the death of Rev. A. L. Blackford, D.
D., on the 14th of May, at the residence
of Dr. Gaston in Atlanta, Ga. Dr.
Blackford had but recently arrived in the
United States and was on his way to the
meeting of the General Assembly at
Saratoga.

Dr. Blackford was the oldest Protestant
missionary in Brazil. He first landed in
Rio de Janeiro in July, i860, about a year
after his brother-in-law, Rev. A. G. Simon-
ton, the lamented founder of the Presby-
terian Mission.

Since 1881, his field of labor has been
in the important city of Bahia.

He has been suffering for some time
from impaired health, but it was hoped
that a season of rest at home would have
secured his restoration.

The Methodist Mission has also suffered
a very severe loss in the death of Rev. J.
W. Tarboux who also died in the United
States. He was a very laborious mission-
ary and greatly beloved by all.

These deaths still further weaken the
already depleted mission force in Brazil
and emphasize the call for more laborers
in this plenteous harvest field.

Rev. Z. C. Taylor, of the Southern
Baptist Mission stationed at Bahia, has
set up a printing press, which he expects
will be of great assistance to him in his
work.

1. 6.

Some pious soul living about Campinas
sent to Italy for an image of the child
Jesus. The idol maker's idea of what
would suit the Brazihan market must have
been somewhat confused, for, behold,
when the package reached the owner, in-
stead of finding a rosy, bright-faced idol,
he beheld one blae/: as night. The owner
stormed and fumed, but that did not
change the color of his idol, so he sent it
back to have its color changed to some
other more agreeable. How long, O,
Lord, how long will the people be satis-
fied with adoring dumb images made by
human hands ?

We regret to learn from the Foreign
Mission Journal that the Southern Bap-
tist Board is unable to make new ap-
pointments, because of the state of its
finances. A debt forbids the assuming
of new obligations. On this account the
urgent appeal from Brazil for reinforce-
ment of the mission force may fail of
success.

Rev. Justus H. Nelson, of the Taylor
mission. Para, has started a new Evangeli-
cal paper entitled O Apologista Christas.
If the paper is edited with the same vigor
and success that have characterized Mr.
Nelson's preaching in that most unprom-
ising of fields it will accomplish much
good. The first number gives promise of
success.

The whole world was surprised at the
exhibition of moral force in the organiza-
tion of the Repubhc. After the serious
work of overthrowing the Monarchy and
proclaiming the Republic was done, the
emotional tendency, and the love of dis-

50 BRAZILIAN

play and sentimentality by wliich the
nation has been judged in the i)ast re-
asserted itself.

The Republic must have a hymn. The
musical talent of the nation was put under
contribution and it was proclaimed that
the government would offer a premium
for the best hymn — the verdict of the
people to be taken.

At the time appointed the various
authors presented their i)ieces in the
great theatre of the capital, with all the
pomp and circumstance of a State affair.
The Ministry was present and the people
went wild over one of the pieces — a sort
of new Marseillaise. The Ministers
then formally announced that the old
hymn of the ex-Empire would be retained
as the "National Hymn" but that the one
acclaimed by the people should be the
"Hymn of the Proclamation of the Re-
pubHc," and everybody was happy. To
the practical Anglo-Saxon mind there was
something very funny about the whole
affair — an emotional outbreak which ser-
ved as a vent to the pent-up nervous
forces.

In several of the States of the New
Republic it is proposed to make attend-
ance on the public primary schools, to be
organized under the new government,
compulsory. Three hundred years of
Romish ascendency has left Brazil with
over eight millions of people who can
neither read nor write and now that the
nation has torn itself loose from the
Church and Empire, in its efforts to or-
ganize its schools, it finds itself without
experience and with nothing to guide it
but patriotism.

The Sao Paulo school has 419 pupils,
and in the second month of the term the
principal had been obliged to refuse ad-
mittance to upwards of 50 more for whom
there is no room.

MISSIONS.

DISTRICT CONFERENCE.

On the 13th and 15th of March the
members of the Methodist Church, South,
held their regular district conference in
Piracicaba.

Rev. J. L. Kennedy, presiding elder ;
Rev.' E. A. Tilley. elder ; M. Dickson,
deacon; J. H. Harwell, M. Camargo, H.
Gartner, J. Anovade, preachers on trial.
■ Rev. H. C. Tucker, the efficient agent of
the American Bible Society, was in at-
tendance.

The reports were encouraging for the
entire district.

Special signs ot awakening were re-
ported from Capivary.

Rev. H. C. Tucker gave an interesting
account of his recent journeys through
different States of the Republic.

Resolutions were passed expressing the
sorrow of the conference at the death of
Rev. J. W. Dabney, and their sense of the
loss sustained by the mission cause and
conveying to his afflicted family and co-
presbyters a message of sympathy.

The next conference will be held at
Taubate.

The Methodist school at Taubate, the
establishment of which is described on
another page, continues to prosper in
spite of the frantic efforts of the vicar to
frighten the ])arents.

SAO PAULO.

Ruy Barbosa, the eminent writer and
the intellectual head of the present gov-
ernment, lately visited Sao Paulo to look
after some important matters connected
with his department, that of finance.
While here he visited the Edison Phono-
graph, on exhibition, and was requested
to say something into the machine which
might be preserved. He made the fol-
lowing statement which is the more valu-
able as the man is not given to bombastic

BRAZILIAN MISSIONS.

utterances, but is rather known for the
terseness and vigor of his style.

"Sao Paulo is the living expression of
the American Yankee modified l)y Italian
taste. This city which has trebled its
population, its area and its wealtii within
a few years is destined to be the most
magnificent in South America.

I am sure that this wonderful, incom-
parable development will be very rapid and
those who like myself knew it as the old
academic town, hidden behind its latticed
windows and its monastaries, will live to
see the change and wonder, as it e.vtends
its boundaries out across the valley in the
majesty of its civihzation, as exuberant
and fertile as the richness of its soil, as
great and majestic as its mountain ranges
and as beautiful as its flowers."

SILVER WEDDING.

On the 5th of March the Presbyterian
Church of Sao Paulo celebrated the 25th
anniversary of its foundation.

A meeting of thanksgiving and praise
was held and it was an occasion of great
rejoicing. The visible blessing of the
Lord is in the life and work of the church,
and its influence is daily widening and
deepening.

A TEACHER WANTED.

A schoolmaster is urgently needed to
train for school work in Sao Paulo. The
health of the present principal is failing.

A good school man can fit himself for
the work in six months.

Among the young college graduates,
or among older men experienced in teach-
ing who have volunteered for mission work,
is there no one who can, without adding
to the burdens of the Board of Foreign
Missions, come out at his own risk and
look the ground over and see if the Lord
has not work for him to do here ? Is
there no man to whom the Lord has given
wealth, in trust for Him, who will volun-
teer to pay the traveling expenses of such

a man — in case one can be found. The
Editor of this journal will be glad to
corresi)ond with either.

CAMPINAS/

Yellow fever, contrary to all expecta-
tions, made its appearance in this city
that was so sorely scourged last year.
Last year the mission of the Presbyterian
Church, South, lost the youngest member
of its circle, the lamented Thompson.
This year among the first victims fell the
Rev. J. W. Dabney, after years of service,
and when on the eve of returning home
with his family.

A terrible blow to our brethren of this
mission. The centre around which so
much work was planned and so many
hopes indulged in for the immediate fu-
ture is now abandoned until the fury of
the storm be past. The veteran mis-
sionary, Rev. Edward Lane, returns with
the afflicted family of his brother and co-
worker Dabney. Miss Bias has gone to
Bagagem in the distant field of Rev.
John Boyle. The Rev. Mr. Gammon
will pursue his studies of Portugese at
the point that seems most advisable until
it is safe to return to Campinas.

Miss Kemper remains in Sao Paulo
until the reopening of her work in Cam-
pinas, rendering efficient aid by her good
counsel and ripe experience to the over-
worked missionaries of the sister mission.

" They also serve who stand and wait."

VARIOUS REFORMS.

The new Republic is a constant sur-
prise to its enemies, as well as to its
friends. One after another the great re-
forms, which the country has longed for
for years are quietly decreed by the pro-
visional government. One of the most
important of the recent decrees is that re-
lating to civil marriage.

52

BRAZILIAN MISSIONS.

In some respects it is unique. Its pro-
visions seem more in liarmony with the
spirit of the (iospel, than the so-called
Romish sacrament of marriage. 1 1 alk)ws
no dispensing of near rclationshi|)s, strictly
forbidding the marriage of persons of the
same blood. It clearly establishes the
ages of the contracting parties, and defines
the rights of husband and wife and chil-
dren. It allows divorce, but not remar-
iage. Marriage must be celebrated be-
fore a civil officer ; the religious ceremony
may come either before or after. It is
not obligatory. In no way can the
church interfere, because marriage is re-
garded as a civil contract, and as such is
regulated by the State. This decree will
come to be recognized as one of the most
beneficent acts of the new government.
It goes into effect the 26th of May, 1890.

Scarcely less important is the decree
recently signed secularizing the public
cemeteries. The control is taken from
the church and placed in the hands of
the republican municipal governments.
All religous denominations, however, are
permitted, if they so desire, to own and
to administer their own private places of
burial.

What this decree means to the people,
only those who live in Brazil can fully
realize. The power of the priesthood
over the grave has often been cruelly ex-
ercised. Many sad stories could be told
of the sufferings of those who have been
forbidden to bury their dead in sacred
ground, because unwilling or unable to
submit to the extortions of a corrupt
church.

POLITICAL AFFAIRS

For a republic only six months old our
new Brazilian sister is remarkably healthy
and strong. Peace and a fair degree of
prosi)erity reigns throughout the length

and breadth of the land. The wholesale
slaughter, the revolutions and the coun-
ter-revolutions, the mobs and disturb-
ances, are to be found only in the exhub-
erant fancy of the ne\vs])aper correspond-
ents.

The whole country is at peace. It is true
there is a certain feeling of uncertainty in
men's minds about what may be done at
the Constitutional Convention, and a wide-
ly prevalent opinion that the government
would do better to decree a constitution
at once or adopt one by plebiscite rather
than to run the risk of a noisy, turbulent
convention. The tendency of public
opinion seems to favor the plan of sub-
mitting to a direct vote of the people the
constitution already elaborated by the
coiumittee chosen months ago. The old
line monarchists and the clericals oppose
this quite naturally as it will deprive them
of the opportunity of packing a conven-
tion and befogging the people with long
speeches and cunning schemes ; yet not-
withstanding their opposition the consti-
tution will probably be promulgated by
.decree and the convention already called
for November will simply be the first
regular assembly of the people's repre-
sentatives gathered for legislative pur-
poses.

Exchange is down to 2od., but in the
palmiest days of the Empire it often went
below i8d.

There are several reasons for this de-
pression in financial circles : — ist. The
unsettled state of matters under any pro-
visional government, however good it
may be. 2nd. The financial tinkering of
the Secretary of the Treasury, who has
undoubtedly fallen into the hands of the
" street." 3rd. The fact that the most of
the old crop of coffee has been shipped
and there is little demand for exchange.
These are all ephemeral causes and will
pass away. The resources of the country
are just what they were before, when

BRAZILIAN

exchange was zyd., no more, no less.
There is no telHng wliat new financial
schemes may l)e attemjjted, as it seems
to be the weakness of men wlio know
nothing of fmances to fancy tlicy have
fovmd a sure cure for all the evils tliat
come in the train of expanded credits.
That it takes age and experience to make
a safe and sound financier is as true in
Brazil as elsewhere. The sense of inse-
curity under provisional governments is
keenest in money circles. Capital is
hypersensitive everywhere. An applica-
tion was made a few days ago to a Lon-
don firm for a loan for one of the States
of Brazil. The reply came by wire:

" Get up a constitution in some way or
another, have it adopted by the people.
Then you can draw on us for amount re-
quired."

There is great dissatisfaction with the
new order of things among those in the
old parties who have lost their offices and
influence. "No thief e'er felt the halter
draw, with good opinion of the law."

Some just complaint is made of the ex-
clusive appointment of republicans to re-
sponsible positions. It was aptly remark-
ed by an opposition paper that the end
aimed at should be, " not so much to re-
publicanize the nation as to nationahze
the republic." A point apparently well
taken, yet it could hardly be expected
that the newly organized government
would call its enemies to places of
trust.

Those who believe in an overruhng
Providence cannot fail to see the hand of
God in the poHtical movements of the
day. The weight of new responsibilities
and the presence of new opportunities
have broadened and deepened the charac-
ters of men of common abilities — and de-
veloped patriotism in quarters where it was
least expected. Fewer mistakes have
been made than ever were made in a cor-
responding period under the Empire.

BISHOPS IN COUNCIL.

Manikksto ok the Pkimatk and Bish-
ops OK rilK RoMISlt CHI'KCH T(J THE

Brazilian I'kopi.e.

The sensation of the month in polit-
ical circles is the long pastoral letter
signed by the archbishop and all his bish-
ops concerning the attitude of the Repub-
lic toward the Church of Rome.

It is by far the ablest, most artful, the
most unnecessary and perhaps the long-
est document which the ecclesiastical
authorities have produced since the fam-
ous fight with the Free Masons. It is
generally understood to be from the pen
of D. Antonio, Bishop of Para, and prob-
able successor to the present archbishop,
who asked to be relieved nearly a year
ago. He was the intimate counselor of
the Princess and the supposed power be-
hind the throne during her late regency.
None but a thorough-paced Jesuit, a keen
student of human nature, could write this
pastoral letter.

It is full of sophistry, full of contradic-
tions skilfully arranged to deceive, and
under the guise of humility and submis-
sion really counsels resistance, a species
ot obedience under protest.

It rejoices in its new-found hberty to
regulate its own affairs in the following
strain : —

" Thanks to the Most High ! the civil
goverment no longer has the power to ap-
point bishops, canons, vicars or any
church functionary. The creation of
new parishes, dividing and fixing their
limits, is the exclusive right of the church.
The civil power can no longer suspend
the execution of papal bulls, or decrees of
the Vatican subjecting the ecclesiastic
powers to the placet regium, the cause of
so much bitterness and so many unsavory
quarrels. * * * * ♦

" In a word, all the oppressive legisla-
tion of the Koya/isf Pombalist ami Jose-
phist state [These exjjressions refer to
the Marquis of Pombal and his king, who
took such active measures against the Jes-
uits.— Ed.] is set aside and ecclesiastical
authority stands free, thanks to the Altis-
simo I * * » # » *

"The oppression heretofore exercised
by the State under pretext of patronage
has been the principal cause of the de-
cline of true religion and the almost com-
plete atrophy of the church. It was a
patronage that stifled the church."

The letter continues to specify tiie var-
ious particulars in which the church was
oppressed by the State, and charges the
corruption to the preponderence of poli-
tics in the church.

It would seem that up to this point in
the letter the illustrous prelate was de-
lighted with the change, and that under
the Republic a new era of prosperity was
opening for the church.

In the next breath, however, the illus-
ion is dispelled by the following wail : —

'' The protection of the State has been
withdrawn from the church ; the Repub-
lic has dared to disturb the holy church in
its sacred functions. This is equal to an
attack upon the Most High, in that it at-
tacks what He holds most dear — His
spouse — the church. It is blasphemy
against His promise. * * * *

" The holy Catholic Church is placed
upon the same level with other forms of
rehgion. * ***** yj^g
church is cast off by the Government
and .deprived of the support to which it
has undoubted right from the public coffers,
robbed of her property. * * * gfju
she will not show herself less worthy of
her glorious past. Abandoned, |)Oor, in
anguish, in trouble and sorrow she will sing
the hymn of the prophet king: — Thou
hast loosed luy bonds, T will offer Thee
the sacrifice of tha?iksgiving and praise."

" Very good," remarks a lay newspaper,
" let the church by all means live worthily
without the poor protection of human
governments and give thanks to the pro-
visional government for setting it free ;
but to do all this we did not need a pas-
toral so interminably long or so full of
latin."

It is currently stated that the bishops
have issued a private circular to the
clergy counseling resistance to all Protes-
tantism by all safe means.

What we know of Rome in the past
will give us a fair measure of the future.
She will fight hard for the " loaves and
fishes," and will do all the harm to the
new Rei)ublic which she can.

HOiY WEEK.

Reports coming from different parts ol
the country go to show that there has
been a genuine revival of the pomp and
flummery of the church during the week
tliis year.

There is hardly anything like it in the
memory of the oldest inhabitant. The
best orators were brought to the front.
The processions were brought out with all
the splendour of gilt and color.

In Sao Paulo it can be explained by
the presence of the synod of bishops.
Elsewhere it was perhaps due to a con»
certed movement on the part of the
priesthood.

It is perfectly plain that Rome is organ-
izing for an aggressive campaign, with all
the art and cunning she is known to pos-
sess. Nothing will be proposed like a
frank, outspoken meeting of the ques-
tions at issue on their merits, but there

i will be a sly yet persistent working upon
all the cheaper sentiments and prejudices

I by which the ignorant are most easily led.
The friends of the truth must bestir them-

I selves or the battle is lost after it is won.

MESSRS. KINSOLViNG AND
MORRIS.

These two missionairies have sailed for
Porto-Alegre, where they will commence
work. Their stay in Cruzeiro has been
rich in experience and knowledge of the
work to them. While they have obtain-
ed tliat knowledge of the i)eople and lan-
guage which can only be had by living
with them on terms of intimacy, they
have been doing good missionary work
among the people by their earnest godly
walk and conversation.

Wherever they have touched the peo])le,
whether native or foreign, they have left
an impression of men in dead earnest,
and it requires no gift of prophecy to
foresee that they will make a mark.

They go with those misgivings that are
natural to sincere natures into their new
field of work. They go, however, in
the Lord's name and ask for the prayers
of God's people.

A NEW SCHOOL.

Taubate is one of the most important
])laces in the State of Sao Paulo. An im-
])etus will soon be given to it by the com-
pletion of a railway, which will bring it
into direct communication with the coast.
It has been long one of the strongholds of
the Roman church in Southern Brazil.
Rev. E. A. Tilley, of the Mfethodist church,
has recently been stationed there and he
has been doing effective work.

A petition signed by some of the most
influential ])eo])le of the town was pre-
sented to the ladies of the Methodist mis-
sion asking them to establish a school at
Taubate similar in character to the one
they carry on so successfully at Piracicaba.

In response to this. Rev. J. L. Ken-
nedy, with his wife, sister and Miss Ross

MISSIONS. 55

visited the place and organized the school.

The vicar of the parish did not relish
this invasion of his territory and very vig-
orously resisted the movement. He is-
sued a stirring appeal to the fathers and
mothers of his charge. He warned them
to abstain from sending their daughters
to the new Protestant school on pain of
being placed under the ban of the church.

He adjured them to obey, using the
strongest term to be found in the priestly
vocabulary, "by the Holy Virgin,'" "by
the entrails of Christ," "by the sacred
heart of Jesus," etc., etc.

Notwithstanding this characteristic as-
sault the school opened with twenty-
seven pupils from some of the best fam-
ilies of the place.

TRIP INTO MINAS GERAES.

BY REV. J. B. KOLB.

Leaving Sao Paulo at 6 a. m. our
train arrived about noon at Cruzeiro,
where we changed cars for the last part
of our journey by rail, which was in some
respects remarkable, as our way lay
across the great backbone of Brazil, the
Mantiquiera Range. As we cHmbed the
mountain there was spread out before us
a beautiful panorama, much like that
which greets the eye of the traveler as he
crosses the top of the Wilkes-Barre Moun-
tains in Pennsylvania looking down over
the Wyoming Valley. As we near the
summit the train plunges into a long tun-
nel which opens into the State of Minas.
We now descend, following the River
Verde, to a point named Soledade, a small
way station. By the way we. passed some
fine fields of corn and tobacco, such corn
and tobacco as one seldom sees outside
of Brazil. Great high stalks, with big
ears of corn, and such magnificent to-
bacco plants. Coffee cannot be raised
in this section on account of the frost. We
are constantly impressed with the apparent

BRAZILIAN

MISSIONS.

comfort of the people in this part of the
State. After reaching Soledade — which
means solitude — we were greeted with the
salutation. "And are you the minister ?"
There was a horse in waiting to carry us
four leagues further. About three leagues
from Soledade we jiassed through one of
the " Saratogas " of Brazil, Cachamba.
Here are some fine mineral s])rings, the
property of a company. This company
has built a large hotel and are greatly
beautifying the grounds in the neighbor-
hood of the springs. These mineral
waters were first used by some miserable
creatures called " morpheticos," who
found some relief from their dreadful dis-
ease. After the virtues of the sj^rings be-
came more generally known the Govern-
ment expended some money in cleaning
out the springs and in explorations.

Just in front of the village there is a
very large and high mountain covered to
its summit with a garment of green. A
railroad is building which will ])ass through
this place and which will make it more
widely known.

Passing Cachamba a league further on
we come to the end of our journey — Bal-
pendy. It is an old town and is built
on the hillside. It is in the centre of a
rich grazing country. The hills on all
sides are covered with excellent i^asture.
This is one of the centres of the cheese
industry, for which Minas is so famous.
We were heartily welcomed to the home
of a believer. The next day we visited
among the brethren, of whom there are a
few. About 7 p. m. of this day we held
a public service which was very well at-
tended. After the close of the service we
entered upon one of tiie other important
duties of our visit, the uniting in holy
matrimony of the young ])astor of this
field, Sr. Benedicto Ferraz de Campos,
with D. Theresa Maria Magdelena. The
people present paid very good attention
to all that was said. After the ceremony

of greeting the bride and groom the
friends of the young people were invited
to a feast of doces or sweets. The
table was laid in the form of a letter T,
which may have been in honor of the
bride. We were very much surprised to
see such a variety of sweetmeats, but it is
said that the Minas people are noted for
their proficiency in this branch of cuhnary
art. On our way home we called to see
our Ejjiscopal brethren at Cruzeiro. We
found them in excellent health and spirits.
They have made fine progress in the ac-
quisition of the language and in stealing
the hearts of those simple-minded be-
lievers in the Lord Jesus. Their stay in
this village will certainly be for their own
and for others good. This field which we
have just visited is very large and inter-
esting. The young pastor gave me some
interesting items of news. He men-
tioned that the services at Cruzeiro, where
a church building is going up, are being
very well attended and that in the State of
Minas in the region of Baependy there
have lately appeared many opportunities
to preach the word of life. But what is
one among so many ? Could he but mul-
tiply himself so that he could avail him-
self of these present openings the results
would be glorious. Alas, what can Jacob
do. because he is small ? But with the
Lord there is the hiding of His power.
