Brazilian Sketches

A series of travel-based missionary sketches portrays social and religious life in Brazil, focusing on Catholic saint worship, popular shrines, pilgrimages, and ritual practices viewed as superstition; the narrative records visits to the capital and country churches, encounters with clergy and civil leaders, episodes of persecution and conversion, and practical missionary work. Chapters reflect on the Bible as a missionary force, the character of native Christians, the challenges that test missionaries, and an urgent call for expanded evangelical effort.
