--Of the vexed question as to mis-
sionaries, Mr.. Selous' testimony is
clear. He has nothing but praise for
the Woodworking and indefatigable
missionaries who pioneer civilization in
Central Africa; and he expressly says
that the only natives whom he has
ever admired or respected were the
sons of some of Khama's headmen,
who had been educated by Mr. Mac
kenzie at Thurman. 1t is indeed diff
cult for such slayer of animals not to
feel admiration for a man like Mr..
Sykes, who in 1859 established his mis-
sion station at Emhlangen in Matebele-
land, in the midst of rowing lions, who
used to come and drink every night at
pool two hundred yards from his
doorstep, and whose most appreciated
pastoral duty was the driving of wild
elephants out of the cornfelds of his
fock.-Review of Reviews.
