and the Rev. Il. Snowden Thomas, wa
brought here from Wilmington by vii
liam +. Robinson. When they were OF

, After entering the tented grove the bishoI
proceeded to the marque, where he wa,
presented to large assem- Iy of minis
tiers, following whioa he was escorted Il
the auditorium and the opening seryios
began.
The exercises commenced with singing,
the choir being in charge of e. r. Potter
who also served as organist. The hymn
was followed by prayer, offered by the
Rev. Ross Tayler. Instead of preaching.
as was expected, the bishop delivered an
interesting address, speaking of Africa,
Its people and his missionary labors. He
mentioned first the geography of the
country, which, he said, Ia OF wait area
and has population OF 250, 900, 600
Speaking of the physical development of
the women he referred to their extraord-
mary strength aid cited an instance
where missionary who could not carry
q Certain burden was assisted by the
queen, who was ordered by the king to
carry the burden, which she did alone
and with apparent ease. some of the
women, the bishop added, can carry 100
| pound weights on their heads without
dltficulty. He related his method of
missionary work aud spoke OF the heroic
men and women who are assisting him.
His missionary steamer, he said, will prob.
ably be launched or the Congo river
on Sunday Ii xt. He spoke Of the great
intelligence and the prejudice aud
jealousy of the Africans. They are far
more intelligent than is generally sup
posed and i. IL impossible for an African
to invent snything, for il he does his
oountrymen will think he Ia smarter than
they are and will put him out of the wsy,
The speaker dwelt on tie importance Of
saving children to the church and said il
is economy for the church to train them.
Ills mission, he continued, is not simply
to save men from hell but to deyslop
children in religious character. In CON
cinsion he spoke OF the necessity of
teaching Africans how 10 work; IL they
are not taught manual labor II is useless
to teach them at all. The delivery of
the address occupied two hours and after
the bishop had concluded the doxo!oRy
was sung and the uenediction pro-
nounced. subsequently he held an in
formal reception In front OF the pulpit |
and was cordially greeted by many peo- |
pie. Fully 1000 persons assembled to |
hear and see him.
