and one that proved a rare educational
treat was the address by DR.. Joseph
Clark, the Congo missionary, who is
spending some time. in this, city and
was the clubs guest last evening.
Judge Templeton took up the political
side of the present situation and in
his usual fluent and impressive man
ner gave his hearers some valuable
information. The Industrial side was
discussed by Mr. Griffith, perhaps the
best read man on this subject in the
city, while Mr.. Clarke gave an inter-
esting talk on the social situation.
DR.. Joseph Clarke's address was q
comparison of the treatment accord
the traders and missionaries in Africa
by King Leopold and the rulers Of
the French, German and English COL
onies. He discussed at some length
the cruelty and tyrannical treatment
of King Leopold and of his barring
from his territory all foreign traders
and missionaries. while on the other
hand the French, German and Eng
fish rulers admitted with welcome all
missionaries and encouraged them in
their good work. DR.. Clarke is sta
toned in the Congo state and is one
who has done much in making life less
unpleasant for the missionaries in ex-
posing Leopold's methods. His talk
was extremely interesting and thor
oughly enjoyed by every member of
the club. A happy social hour follow
ed the business meeting and then the
hostesses served one of those delicious
lunches for which they are famous.
