THEY LEAVE FOR AFRICA.
Wichita Minister and Wife Start on a
Long Voyage.

Long voyage.
Wichita, Kan, March 18.-The Rev.
Friends church will leave Wichita to-
! day on their long journey to British
East Africa, to begin work in the
! Friends Industrial Mission.
They will first go to London, England,
where they will spend a few weeks.
From thence they will go to Naples, by
way of Paris and Rome, and thence by
ship through the Suez canal to the east
coast of Africa. 1t will take about three
weeks to make the trip from London
to the mission station, which is over six
hundred miles inland. The trip from
the coast to Lake Victoria will be made
by rail, but the remainder of the dis
lance. will have to be made on foot or in
some rude conveyance, on a plateau
two thousand feet higher than the lake.
1t is in the midst of a people who five
| years ago had never seen the face of a
white man. The country swarms with
natives as black as night and as guilt
less of wearing apparel as they were at
| the time of their birth.
| Rev. Chilson, who with two other
young men opened the mission five
years ago, is enthusiastic over the re-
suits achieved in this length of time.
Africa or that part of it at least,
where our missions located, can never
be anything but a black mans country. =
said he. Conditions are such that II
will never be possible for white men
TO- thrive mere. just u II. Oal
mission station is only eight miles from
the equator. Only the elevation OF
nearly two miles above the sea renders
it possible even for white man to live
there at all. Except in the dry season
it rains every afternoon and this makes
it possible to be out of doors only a
part of the day In the hot season even
with the thick helmets to protect ones
head it is dangerous to be out of doors
long at time
1.-The mission comprises thousand
acres which we purchased from the
English for & bout a dollar an acre we
have some timber and some good farm
land. We have small water power
which runs our sawnlill. Natives have
to be taught to do the work, but they
are quick to learn and respond readily
to kindness. We have never had any
trouble with them, and do not 2ntlcl-
pate any. Unlike some other people
they are quick to know their friends
and are true.to them. The government
has sent troops to protect is rev
times. but it has been against our WILL
for the natives, even of neighboTing
tribes. though they frequently rebel
against the rupee hut tax imposed upon
them by the English government, nave
frequently shown evidences OF Ine
friendliest feeling toward u.s.
1--WE insist that the natives employed
about the mission station shall wear
clothes, but with the exception of these
few the entire population: of that great
region wear no clothing at all. Naked
as they were born and armed only with
knives spears, clubs or bows ana ar
rows they roab the forests and hunt
or fight as suits their fancy
