THE COMPOUND OF UMTlLI MISSION, EAST CENTRAL AFRICA

The good Bishop describes MS work IN a busi-
nesslike way, and reveals the zeal and ardor of
practical evangeI of Professionalism. 1t is when
he is asked to explain the largest problems OF
Africa that his face lights up with i fire glow Of
enthusiasm. for, while his heart is in his work he
IS q clear thinker, who Is capable If taking com
prehensive views Of the future Of great CONT

there is a clear revelation of the rapid evansel-
cation 4 u continent by agencies Of civilization
and progress The Cape TO Cairo railway of

The Bishop has reason and experience behind
his faith for during the last three or four years

THE NATIVE PROBLEM
There is also another consideration which con-
vinces this sagacous representative Of AmerI-
can Professionalism that British success in the
war compOrts with the moral order Of civillza-
ton. He considers the native problem the one
overwhelming issue Of Africa He cites statis-
ties showing the immense preponderance Of
blacks whites in all the vast regions Of
South Africa ana the startling rapdty with
which the negro population is increasing. He
asserts that the negro question in America IS an
incident Of minor significance comparison
with the native problem in South and Central
Africa He believes that the black races ought
to have u chance Of sharing in the benefits OF
progress and evangeliZation, and that they will
have Justice and mercy humane treatment and
education under the tute!aSe of the English
race whereas they have little to hope for in
