AFRICA IN THE NEXT CENTURY
DARK Continent rs Undergoing a Won
4sa dorful Transf formation

Dark Continent 10 Undergoing Won.
derful Attenuation.
From the Forum: The twentieth
century Africa promises startling con-
trasts when compared with the Africa
OF the nineteenth century. With an
area four times as great as that of the
United States, a population of 10000
600, a soil and climate capable Of in
finite variety of production, rapidly
expanding commerce, and the greatest
known supplies of ivory, gold and dia-
monds, its development under the mod
ern methods which are now being ap-
piled to it is practically assured. The
home of the oldest civilization, it Is
the last of the continents to yield to
the touch Of the newest civilization.
But yesterday enveloped in darkness
of mystery without and ignorance
within, it Is today Illuminated by the
searchlight of modern methods, and as
it's importance and attractions are be-
ing recognized, with this recognition
must come development. With 2,000,-
900 Europeans scattered over it's vast
area, acquainting themselves with its
natural conditions and requirements,
with the steamer, the railroad, the tele-
graph and the telephone carrying light
and knowledge and civilization to it's
darkest corner. Africa cannot long re-
main unknown or unknowing. 1t was
only after the explorers-Livingston
Spoke, Stanley and others-had dis
covered. through persistent and heroic
effects, that there existed vast navig-
able water ways above the falls near
the mouths Of the great streams which
flow from the interior that European
nations awoke to the physical and
commercial possibilities of Africa, and
then, in twinkling, the dark continent
was seized upon and divided up and
became, as by magic, a vast European
"htnterland." Between 1884 and 1898
an area two and half times the size
of the United States, and containing a
population OF 1OO,0OO,0OO, was par
celed out by an agreement of the Eu-
ropean powers. At present scarcely q
foot Of African territory remains un-
claimed.

The revival meetings closed at the
Third Baptist church Tuesday, the 9th
of February. There were not so very
many added to the church, but it was
greatly revived. as the church itself

man who is not afraid to preach sound
Baptist doctrine, and above all he Is a
christian gentleman. He has been sue
cessful in correcting many mistakes by
preaching the gospel in its purity. The

In oriental countries women are generally regarded as the interiors of men, yet, according to a Hindoo le- gend. this is the proper origin of the sex: Twashtri, the god Vulcan of the Hindoo mythology, created the world. But on his commencing to create woman he discovered that with man he had exhausted all his creative ma- terials. aad that Eot one solid element had been eft This, of course. greatly usrp,eNgd Twashtri, and caused G!m to fall in profound meditation.
