His subject was africa. next to the
largest continent of the world, the
richest of the world, the darkest In
the world and the most neglected of
the world" For an hour or more
he held the closest attention Of his
audience as he simply but earnestly
and graphically told of some of the
difficulties and trials and dangers
fishing a mission 1900 miles in the
interior Of the continent. He very
feelingly spoke of his friend and
comrade, the lamented Rev. s. N.

out and labored. He gave an account
of the visible results Of the fifteen
years of their labors which had cul-
minated in the membership Of 1000

converts forty miles further on and
of their success In bringing about a
change for the right In the sphere
