Summit Avenue Baptist.
A very unique entertainment took place
al the Summit Avenue Baptist Church
last night J. II. Balnler, who first went
to Africa as q missionary in 1852, in an
effort TO raise funds to build a new school
at Graha1nstown. Cape Colony, South
Africa, has brought along with him to
this country five young South African
boys, whom he has cultivated up, at
least. to the point of giving us a very
creditable concert. They are the children
OF various savage tribes. They look it,
and they appear in, supposedly. native
costume after having been under the tu-
ition or influence of civilized Missionaries.
Mr.. Baimer could not be present at last
nights entertainment. AS the programme
stated, it was certainly "a wonderfully
interesting group from the Dark CONT
nent,o and their singing bears out the
assertion of the Rev. Thomas Wakefield,
F.R.G.S., F.R.H.S., for twenty-five years
a missionary in East Equatorial Africa,
is a wonderful evidence of what skill and
patience can work on such rough ma
terial." They are accompanied by Miss
Elsie Clark, an Anglo-Saxon woman. born
in South Africa. Miss Clark appeared in
the costume Of a Kaffir woman. Her
appeal for a contribution to the fund for
building the school mentioned above met
with q generous response from an audi
enc that packed the church auditorium
to the doors. aDG which expressed its
wish to be favored with another concert
by the South African QGintette. a six
year-oid Zulu. known as the lady of the
quintette, is a wonder. Pastor SWaIaeld
