LIBERIA The Rev. r. r. Gurley, who last
year visited Liberia, in describing this beauti-
full country in the Christian Statesman, says:
AS far as Europeans or Americans have pene-
trated, which is only to the extent of some two
or three hundred miles we believe, they give
the most glowing pictures of its beauty and fer
tility, and the salubrity of its atmosphere Most
happily for tropical region, the mountains or
hills approach to within short distance of the
sea-shore, but have not the lofty and rugged
character of those of South America. They
abound with limpid streams, furnishing every
facility for manufacturing, and are covered with
stately forests. 1t is not improbable that this
may be the character of the country for many
hundred miles back of the republic of Liberia !;
and if such should be found to be the case, it
will form one of the most magnificent abodes
Of man on earth. Even the portion already
known is of sufficient extent to form an empire
as large as France and there is no reason why
it may not in two or three centuries, become
as enlightened and populous, as it will unques-
tionably be better governed.
