BISHOP TAYLOR AND HIS WORK.
Rev. DR.. VIM. Taylor, Bishop of Africa
was formerly resident of California. and
is remembered with deep interest by the
Methodist denomination of the coast, as
well as those of other denominations. He
has spent the past four years in Africa in
active work in his self-supporting mission
field. He will visit his family in Califor-
MIA next month, and expects to return to
the " Dark Continent in December next
To reporter of the New York Tribune
Bishop Taylor said:
D." We have been doing hard work in
Africa in these four years, and we have
established a foothold there which now
begins to show for itself. Our plan is you
know, to establish mission stations which
do not depend on outside aid, but which
will support themselves Our stations are
established at intervals of hundred miles
or so. There are five in Gargola, seven on
the Congo, three in Vassa, all penetrating
the interior from the coast, and one is
about l 200 miles in the interior. In all.
we now have thirty-six mission stations
among thirty-fve different tribes. Thirty
one of our stations are manned, and five
are waiting for more missionaries to ar
rive"
3" Are you making many converts among
the natives?'
" Undoubtedly we are doing so. We
have school = houses in many of these
stations, and our school-houses are our
churches. Our property exceeds $4,000
in land and buildings. Our schools are
not simply to educate in reading and writ
ing, but they are industrial schools which
teach the natives the simpler industrial
arts Of civilization some of our mission
aries pillow in the morning and teach in the
afternoon"
-" Has the country proved fatal to many
Of your missionaries?''
" You can judge from these facts. There
have been 140 missionaries sent by us to
Africa, and these have been located in diff
terent stations by me. We have now forty
eight men, twenty-eight women and fifteen
children; the children are in their teens.
all are now doing we'll six men, six wo-
men and three children have died the re-
mainder, thirty-four, a large number of
them children, have been sent home.
Our steamboat is all right. 1t
cannot be transported in a day or month.
but we expect before many months more
to have it navigating the waters of the
Congo, and there are 5000 miles of naviga-
bic waters Of that riyer.n
