ice at the First Methodist Episcopal church
will be a farewell service to Mr.. Yatman.
The eminent divines visit here IS for
the sole purpose of holding a grand re-
union with the many converts and other
staunch friends whom he gained during

the trip will be written upon its folds.
The greatest part Of Mr.. Yatman's work
will be done in Cape Colony, Southern
Africa. The reflex action of the young
English and Americans there upon the ma
tives is very great, and the field adopted
by him will be among the white popula-
ton. To give an idea of the Importance
of his outlined work, II is only necessary
to cite the instance of Johannesburg to
show the rapid increase IN population in
that country, while the meager missionary
facilities have remained the same Five
years ago Johannesburg contained only
5000 people, while now 1t supports popu-
lation of over 5000 souls. 1t is the center
of the gold mining district, and Mr. Vat
man is authority for the statement that it
was here King Solomon got his gold of
Ophir.
