Africa, another American was laying the founda-
tions Tor such society as the above in England.
The Freedmen's Missions Aid Society is devoted to
the work OF preparing African and other c0lored
youths Tor mission service in Africa. 1t was origi-
mated through the foresight and aborious Efforts
OF New Yorker, Mr.. Theodore Bourne, who,
being in England in 1871, determined TO combine
the efforts Of British with American philanthropists
in behalf OF the teeming millions OF Africa, and TO
found society which shonld receive the SYM
patny and support OF men OF all classes
Britain, and to place them in harmonious
cooperation with union society in the
United states. From the results attained in two
years it must be conceded that me originator did

never be eyangclized The method by which this
society seeks 70 promote the work is by specially
training young freedmen IN the colleges and uni

This society seems to oe. providentaily, Just in

to have made mistake IN placing the cause he
founded in connection with the American MISSION
