And thinking thus how others fare,
Upheld by simple creeds

Lest IL shall curb thy deeds,
For better tbs to wish life well.

Or frame a better plan.

Proud reasons highest call,
And In Its gentle service teach,
To love Is best OF all

Mr.. Moir wears spectacles, and the

means glass. When he erected his

Mandala to the building.
There Mr.. Moir developed a settle
ment around his private property, all
devoted to the interests Of the com
pany he represents. There are store.
houses for ivory and other things
bought from the tribes. Trade goods
as they arrive from Europe are also
stored here till they are sent up the
lake. The place has become very
thriving settlement with several hun

it when the first storehouse was erect

now on all good maps we see little

The fame of Mandala is known to
all who are interested in Africa's
progress, and the name 1t bears was
given to 1t simply because the founder
of the town wears spectacles.-New
