Excerpt from Adventures in Patagonia: A Missionary's Exploring Trip

T HE writer of the following narrative is one of the most venerable of living missionaries, and a noble type of the high caste to which he belongs. With the strong religious conviction which comes from Puritan birth and training, with a faith that never doubts, and a zeal that inspires courage and devotion, he unites a practical turn of mind, a nat ural sagacity, and a quickness of adaptation to all vicissitudes of experience which may come to him in strange lands and among strange peoples - qual ities which, combined, have made the American missionary a marked character in many parts of the world, and given him great success.
