Rev. Dr. w. NJ. Morrison, missionary
who has labored successfully for the past
seven years in Africa. visited the Presby-
terrain church here on Sunday last, and af-
forded most interesting day to all who
were fortunate enough to hear him. In the
morning he spoke ably and entertainingly of
Africa as a great miss on field, appealing
peculiarly to the Southern Presbyterian
Church; the wonderful extent of that great
dark continent, with itsimmense population
estimated at zoe, 600 900 with no such word
as love" in its language, and the wonder
full opening of the hearts of that people for
the reception of the Gospel of Life. In the
afternoon he spoke to the young people, in
the chapel, of the Sunday and day school mis-
sion work. At night he described trip to
his mission field in Africa, the houses. there
what the people wear and eat, their court
ship and marriages. mode of travel, etc.
There has, he said, been wonderful trans
formation there, but the iron heel of King
Leopold II, of Belgium, rules the Congo
Free State, in the interior of which he is To-
Gated, and atrocious acts are perpetrated by
soldiery under his government DIR. Nor
rison asserts that he has seen slaves dragged
along with ropes around their necks, and
that any day he can buy young boy or girl
for $40 or such a matter. He closed with
an appeal to the civilized nations ofthe world
the United States included, to come to the
rescue of these people, and to christian men
and women to go there, either by their purse,
their prayers or in person. DIR. Morrison is
one of the most noted missionaries to Africa
in recent years, and one of the best informed
and most pleasing speakers today in the
foreign field. and those eff our people who
heard him enjoyed rare treat indeed.
