at the Congo-Bolobo Mission Station, lie
the remains of our dear young sister, Le-
more Hamilton Todd. How well l remem-
Der her many most devoted expressions
in regard to her work. She was faith
full servant of God, a missionary, a doctor,
a sister, and devoted wife. Soon her
husband, Jas. Todd, was taken ill, died
at sea on his way home, and was buried
at CAMERON.
Lulu c. Fleming, of Florida, was one of our
pioneer company. She was most devoted
to the work of the Master, ever conscious
of His presence, and ever ready to speak a
consoling word. She labored most faith
fully nearly seven years. much of the time
under great trials and Affections. In 1899,
being compelled TO give up her school and
medical work at Lake Montamba Station,
she came home as far as New York, and
died in the hospital where, four years be-
fore, she was q student on her vacation
home After this vacation she had re-en-
tered her former work as physician.
Dear sister, you are now with Lcnore and
Jim, and our other comrades.
During our seven years in the Congo
region, many of our English brethren and
sisters also crossed the Great Divide into
their final rest, leaving noble and kind re-
membranes; but we will meet again.
Such is missionary life. l have often
wondered why | was spared, when so many
of my comrades We're called home to the
Immortal shores, or were compelled to leave
the field of action. God only knows, and
perhaps there is yet work for me to do.
If So will gladly don the arnor and pro-
ceed to my field of action. By present
appearances / may be called by my Gov
ernment to open West and Central Africa
to American commerce. Our goods are
wanted and much needed in this new land,
and an enormous trade in ivory, rubber,
copel, precious stones, gold and minerals
may be built up.
/ now take liberty to thank the Editor
Of THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE for his
kindness i'll accepting my letter, which l
sincerely hope is not long enough to weary
my readers, and viii assure you that on

In 1889 found him at his post of duty,
at Bona, a very sick man. He had been
accustomed to good water, new vegetable
foods and good accommodations on land

to settle where only filtered Congo water
and dried and picked meats and preserved
vegetables could be secured. he began to
decline in physique. Thinking that he
would soon regain strength and be able to

deeply interested, he paid little attention

Few people are aware of the unlimited
Opportunities that await capital and en-
ergy in that great new inland plateau.
The country produces ivory, rubber, gum
copel precious stones, timbers OF mahog-
any, polysandra, black and yellow teak,
copal. shittimwood, walnut, satinwood,
and many other kinds which are very SUI
perior to any Of our remaining American
woods. As to minerals, We have in many
locations gold. copper, lead and silver, and
l am told of other minerals. Many good
locations yet await business energy.
Central Africa certainly is the geological
garden of the world, and can supply IRON
the little red ant 10 The mastodon OF to-
day-the elephant. There is a good
trade awaiting in birds, and also in plum
ages of all kinds. The birds are mostly
OF gaudy colors, and very beautiful. Pelts
of goats. sheep and cattle will be on the
markets as soon as there is a demand for
them. Skins and furs are also awaiting
demand. These few articles are not worthy
of comparison with what will be in the
line of trade as soon as these people are
recognized by any active. civilized nation
who are prepared to deal with them in
broad way. Belgium, France and Portu-
gal each have interests there, but so far
little has been done 10 till the soil or edu-
cate the people. Not but that the au-
thorities do all in their power, but each
has her hands full in controlling and
managing the people in a military man
ner. Each one is doing much good, but
there is work yet for others to do.
MISSIONARY WORK
There is an idea of future among all
people but the poor Bantu, who are just
learning Of it. By the slow way that con-
tributicns have been going into our mis-
sion treasury for the past few years, the
poor people Of Africa must still remain in
darkness. The few mission stations there
are not one per cent. of what could be at
work with good results. Generally speak
ing, dollar spent in African missions will,
by my observation, do as much actual
good, in way of enlightenment, as seven
dollars would do in America. Those souls
are easy TO reach, are stable when con-
WINGED, and they are also workers in the
faith. There is room and TO spare for all
of our churches and mission workers, of
all denominations.
