however, they had no belief in God as an

That belief resulted in dreadfully SUI err

and the Archdeacon related an instance in
which four young women, as tne conse-
quence of the death of u man, were tied to
trees and burned. There was very great
need for Christian work on the island.
The mission had started schools for boys,
HoulAIsDly managed by AanZlOar teacnerS,
and schools for girls, managed by lady
missionaries. The great enemy which had
to be fought was the profound Indifference
of the tribes to all religious matter. One of
the lgreat opportunities was the leisure of
the people and their delight a. being able to
sit down and listen to something new. The
results 30 far were not great, because heath
enism was probably as old as the Flood,
and could not be got rid of in a day. The
natives were very ar xious not to know any
thing about tomorrow, but the mission now
had about 60 natives baptized and already
communicates. They were really worthy and
earnest Christians. All the great towns on
the south Of the island were being visited

THE UNIVERSITIES MISSION ON
LAKE NYASSA.

At Westminster Abbey on Monday, after
the ordinary afternoon service, an interest.
ing address was delivered to q Ia rye audience
by Archdeacon Naples on the work of the
Universities Mission on Lake Nyassa. In
opening his address, the Archdeacon recall
ed the fact that five years ago, in the sam
building, he addressed a congregation on
the same subject, and remarked that he
had since then spent FIVE years of life and
labour in East Africa, and was delighted
to have the opportunity of speaking to an
English audien nee Of the further progress and
development of the work. Thirty years ago
the Universities Mission in Central Africa
took its rise, owing it's commencement to the
statements of DIR. Livingstone. For the
greater part of the 80 years the mission work
had been centred on the island of Zanzibar,
and had taken the shape almost entirely Of
preparing students for the work of clergymen
amongst their own races. An important
epoch in the history of the work, however,
had now arrived, and the first East African
clergyman had been ordained in the course
of tho present year. At present the mission
was spending it's best energies in the train
ing and fou ndation of native ministries, and
at the present time they had as large a num-
Der of African helpers as they had European
helpers. Although the African helpers were
in a somewhat subordinate position, they
had rem arkable steadfastness, and made very
great Roadway in their work, and at the pre-
sent time the mission had really q large
number of students who were pledged to
seek orders at the proper time. He had
come, Archdeacon Naples explained, direct
from the shores of Lake Nyassa, "a stretch
of water which was the most southern of the
three great African lakes. Lake Nyassa was
exactly the length of England, and had an
average breadth of 40 miles. 1t had a very
large population On its shores, and in it's
centre, FIVE years ago, the headquarters of
the mission was established on an island
five miles long, three miles broad, and with
a population of about 5000 souls. With a
large steamer and several boats the mission.
allies were able to cover a very large stretch
of country, and he was pleased to say that
amongst the many tribes they came across
no such things as idolatry or fetish ware to
be found in East Africa. There were hoy.
