WILL TELL OF AFRICA.

Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock Rev:
J. f. Phipps, one of the most successful
of the colored missionaries lab0ring on
the Congo, will speak at the Second
Presbyterian Church. During his stay
10 the dark continent Rev. Phipps has
passed through many thrilling expert
ences. While teaching his people the
principles of his religion he has not
neglected to train them in practical
things. When the great cyclone OF sew
eral years ago had demolished their
Church he and his helpers built another
and better one where many hundreds OF
natives have confessed Christ. They
have been taught to raise crops, to make
articles of furniture and to live as any
other Christian community would live.
This is the field to which our townsmsn,
Mr.. Henry Slsymaker, was going when
his boat capsized on the Congo river and
he was drowned. All are cordially in
yited. A free will offering for missions
will be taken up. The gallery will be
reserved for colored people, many OF
whom will doubtless wish to hear Rev.
Phipps.
