"Africa's Appeal to Christendom"
will be voiced in the April Century by
Prince Momulu Massaquoi Of Ghendi-
nah (Gallinas), of the British Pro-
tectorate of Sierra Leone, q remark
able character. The parents of the
young prince placed him under the
tuition of Mohammedan priest when
he was eight years old. Two years
later he came under Christian influence
at mission school, and after several
years residence at the mission, was
baptized and confirmed. At the age
of sixteen he came to America and en-
tered Central Tennessee College at
Nashville. The death of bis mother
recalled him to his people before his
college course was finished; but he re-
visited the United States to represent
Africa at the Parliament of Religions
and the African chronological Con-
gress in connection with the Chicago
Exposition. After again returning to
Africa the young prince wrote: ''Since
l came in contact with the white man
and saw the glory Of the civilized
world, and especially since attending
the Worlds Fair, I have daily asked
myself, how can my people be saved?''
Africa and Africa s problems, present-
ed from such point of view, should
have unique and valuable interest.

No matter how late Easter may
come there always will be lots Of men
who will postpone buying their Easter
wears until the last minute. Having
this in mind, Meigs & Co. of Bridge
port provided larger stocks and a
greater variety of everything men
wear this season, SO that late buyers
might have practically the same broad
choice as the early buyers. Men who
have put off buying needed wears will
appreciate the advantage of the
breadth of choice Meigs & Co.'S won
derful stocks offer this week. From
hats to shoes and from gloves to un-
derwear, they show the seasons best
productions and styles for men and
boys, and with an augmented force of
statesmen and an enlarged delivery ser
vice, Meigs & Co. announce their pre-
paredness to cope with the rush which
they always encounter in the last few
days preceding Easter.
