WESLEY cHAPEL's BEAUTIFUL SERVICES.
Chldrens day was appropriately observed
yesterday at Wesley chapel, corner Fifth and
+ streets. Tho happy mingling of bright
young faces, fresh, beautiful flowers, fra
grant, blooming plants, and sweet voiced
birds, with their warbling notes of praise
combined Co render tho occasion an interest
ing one. The scene presented upon tho plat
form was beautiful one-an emblematic
representation of "The Gates Ajar," wrought
out in daisies, ferns, and vines, while within
and yet in clear view were presented cross
and crown composed of choicest fragrant
flowers The programme, consisting OF
choruses by the school, recitations,
and songs by individual members, and a
short address by the pastor, Rev. Mr.. McKen- :
ney, was exceedingly interesting. SO we'll
pleased were many friends of the school with
the artistic platform design that IL is pro-
posed to obtain Photographic view before
removal. The effect was an extremely pleas
ing one, and the participation in the exor-
cises of SO many children made the service a
notable one. The school is in prosperous
condition, and such an anniversary occasion
as this enables the parents and friends Of the
children to assemble with and to rejoice in
the continued success of the Sabbath school
about which cluster so many happy memories.

DIFFICULTIES ATTENDING MISSIONARY WORK
THERE

DIFFICULTIES ATTENDING MISSIONARY WORK
THERE.
The services at the Memorial Lutheran
church yesterday were more than usually in
teresting. The Rev. David A. Day, for ten
years past almost continuously in charge
of tho Muhlenberg mission in Africa, under
the supervision of the Evangelical Lutheran
church, delivered interesting addresses both
at the morning and afternoon services. This
mission, tho speaker said, was second to none
in Africa, and during those years had shown
great improvement. 1t was situated in Lii
IBERIA, about thirty miles from the coast, about
50 north of the equator, and had a
temperature that averaged about 95o
In missionary work the climate was the first
difficulty met with. Every one who ven
tnres there is met with the inquiry as to
whether or not he has had the fever which is
so prevalent there and fatal to so many.
" Multiply" said the speaker, "the worst
cases of chills and fever in this country by
ten or twelve, and you will have sample
case of that in Africa" And the newcomer
has three attacks of this
The matter of transportation was q second
obstacle to the civilization of the country
There were no beasts of burden at all in this
region, the roads Of such they may be called)
were of the worst nature, and transportation
difficult in every way. 1t cost more TO get
u cargo of goods from Monrovia to Mullen
berg, distance of thirty miles, than their
whole charges from Boston to Monrovia.
This combined with the language made
the trouble still more embarrassing.
There were a variety of dialects, every
tribe having q language of its own I;
and tribe consists of only four or FIVE
thousand people, and is in close proximity
to other tribes. Other troubles were that the
negroes were independent and superstitious,
n matter which it was exceedingly hard to
fight with. They had met these difficulties
and established successful mission. The
people, he said were talkative and eloquent,
and would argue case to u great length.
of minor extent, which were listened to with
every indication of interest by the audience,
At the evening Service, when much larger
audience was present, the speaker detailed
minutely the routine work of the mission.
The aim, he said, was not alone to educate
the children in letters but "A school for manual
labor was carried on. The object was not
alone to tell them how to enjoy the things of
life but how to earn and use them. Tho
people, he said, were good singers. In his
time he had heard some good singing, but none
that pleased him 40 much as that that he heard
mt that mission, which was pure and simple.
He had been asked as to whether they learnt
anything, and he said that they had in some
respects, and that II Africa were ever civil
lied it would be one Of tho grandest countries
on the earth. These and other subjects re-
lating to tho people were gone over by the
speaker. Their peculiarities Of language and
belief in witchcraft were interestingly re-
lated.
