The Scandal in the Niger Church,

Tho spectacle is now presented on the
Niger River Of nominally Christian peoples
who have debased their religion to standar
derived from their former savage practices.
Tho lower Nigor and It's great tributary, tho
Benue, are believed to be more thickly popu-
lated than any other part OF savage Africa.
Here the teachers OF the Church Missionary
Society OF England have been toiling since
1857, and their work has been highly praised
as an example Of successful mission
ary enterprise. The churches scattered
through this region number hundreds
OF members. Tho introduction OF Chris
tianity has no doubt wrought great changes,
for idols have been burned. churches and
schools have been built, and many heathen
practices havs been abandoned. But just
now the Church Missionary Society is deep
ly humliated by the veriilcation Of rumors
that an admixture OF the vices Of civilization
and savage customs has deLased tho Chris.
tianity of tho Niger Church. The society
recently sent a committee to- the Niger to
investigate these scandalous reports. and
the report has made a sensation.
They aver that many protesting Chris
tians have revived the custom OF polygamy,
and that others, In addition to marrying
several wives, insist upon their right also to
keep women In concnbinage. Some OF the
native ministers, to whom the Niger work
has been almost wholly intrusted, are &C
cused Of acquiescing in this condition OF
things, and also OF being far more intent
upon deriving large profits from trade than
upon maintaining the good name OF their
tock-. And Yet these native Christians,
with several wives apiece. are apparently

power devolves upon unfiinching patriots OF
their type the better. In vain In the debate
on Thursday did tho Premier protest
against such a deduction: the facts refuted
him. Moreover. the true nature OF the
transaction was exposed with brutal frank
ness by II. CLEMENcEAU. Tho French Rev
olution was, he said. great historic whole.

ments could permit mono OF Its episodes
to be detached and singled out for vili-
fication. That Is to say, in plain Eng.
lish Love me. love my dog: you
must applaud tho Reign Of Terror, or you
are no genuine Republican. NJ. ChEMEN-
cEAU went on to make quite clear the kind
OF pressure to which tho Cabinet had sue
cumbed. Republicans he said. would not
permit the memory OF the Revolution to be
smutted by such representation as Their
ridor, and II the Government had failed to
do its duty, tho citizens would have done
theirs What was this but tho threat OF a re-
version to the system Of '93, whom, with the

These negro communities are the strongest

savage Africa, and it is very signif-
cant fact that they suggest the possi-
bility of breaking loose altogether from tho

devotion are undoubted. does not approve

TINT pagans who become converts to Chris
tianity must be carefully guided and con-
trolled or they arc likely to engrait upon
their new faith tho most Objectionable fen
lures OF heathenism. There exist to-day in
India, in New Zealand, in Burmah, and In
other parts Of the world native sects who
have severed relations with their Christian
teachers. and have buried tho now faith
nearly out Of sight beneath mass OF silly
supcrstitions and pagan practices. The
Messiah craze among our Indians IL phase
of pagan misuse Of Christian doctrine. The
Niger Church has for years been almost eN-
clusively under tho tutelage of native
ministry, and, astonishing as it appears,
the abuses that have gradually crept in
have not been observed in England until
they have acquired SO tenacious hold upon
these extensive missions as to threaten
their very existence.
