with his wife and babies through
South Africa when no one else dared
venture outside of the white settle
ments, and no one thought of modest
ing him. He was the only man who
had any influence over Moselikatse,
the most bloodthirsty chief in South
Africa.
The great Norwegian missionary,
Bishop Schroeder, held similar posi-
ton in the regard of the fierce Zulu
chief Cetewayo, and it was Schreuder's
presence in the English camp that
gave the natives courage to surrender
themselves to the British when they
had been vanquished in the last Zulu
war in 1870. His house was the only
white mans dwelling that was left
standing in Zululand. The savage
army, drunk with temporary victory,
split in two, one division passed over
the hills to the north of Schreuder's
station, the other over the hills on the
south, for the chiefs knew that in the
frenzy of battle their braves could not
be restrained from destroying what
ever came in their way.
Missionary work in most parts OF
Africa has lost much of its spectacular
features. 1T now is mostly a matter
of hard, grinding, monotonous work
The popular conception of missionaries
includes two figures. One is that of a
spiritual fanatic bent mainly on teach
ing the savages to sing hymns instead
of bowling war songs, the dupe usual
ly of willy savages who feign "conver
sion" while laughing in their new mis-
sionary Bingham sleeves. The Other
is that of clever selfseeker exploit
ing the childish native to his own ad
vantage.

VA VA heroes of the dark
VA IVA continent are not all
w w mighty hunters and ex-
plorers. The hardest
fight that is waged for
the opening of the continent is not a
fight in the open with wild beasts or
bowling savages while the world looks
on and applauds. Rather it is crap
ping in the dark with shadows, the
shadows of spiritual gloom that loom
so black and yet are so elusive to the
grasp. 1t is fight for the spread of
light in dark places waged by men and
women unused to physical hardships
and with breeding that renders them
peculiarly sensitive to the spiritual
wear and tear of their work. 1t is a
fight without fanfare, without an audi

If President Roosevelt accepts the
invitation of the Methodist Missionary
society to take part in missionary work
while travelling through Africa he will
have thrown the weight of his influ-
ence In the scales for cause particu-
larly in need of such help. In the same
way as the presidents declarations
against race suicide unquestionably
have helped domestic life, so perhaps
he can throw some light on phase
Of civilizing work peculiarly misunder-
stood by the majority of white people
at home and abroad. 1t requires no
great stretch of the imagination to get

common.sense religion to black au
dience, just as he has preached do
mesticity, fearlessness, strennousness
and a great many kindred virtues tc
the people in-America. But it requires
an intimate knowledge of the African
character, it's keen sense of authority
and position, its veneration for big
chiefs" of whatever country, to gauge
the tremendous influence his words
would carry.

Missionary's Garden Necessary.

Meantime the boys are engaged in
the work of the farm or in building or
carpentry. The pastor of the station
is fortunate If he has a white man to
assist him in experimenting these
branches Of the work. More likely he,
in addition to his cares as pastor, is
physician and magistrate, his own
farmer, gardener, builder, architect
and furniture maker. The farm must
provide food for the boys and girls of
the school. The garden must supply
fruit and vegetables for the mission
ary's table, for he soon learns that he
cannot keep his strength long If he at
tempts to live as native. He must
have a variety of food and, incidental
ly, tablecloths and napkins. A noted
African traveller has said that white
men die in the tropics not for want
of the necessities of life but for want
of the Injuries. Besides, his house and
garden must be an object lesson in
civilized living quite as important as
his preaching.

Harsh Language an Obstacle.

AS for arithmetic, it is not easy to
learn the multiplication table, when to
say mine times eight" you have to
let out the following mouthful of
sound: "Tata isishiyangalolonye pinda
nge sishangalombili." But the natives
have an adjunct to difficult enuncia-
ton, sort of first aid, in the language
of the fingers. Beginning from right to
left, the little finger means one, the
left thumb means six, the left forefin-
ger seven, and so on. If time or energy
fail you, you simply wag finger, or If
wag two fingers, and the deed is done.
Your breath is saved.
The white woman teacher in a
school of eighty or hundred natives
is likely to find, even If she has one or
two native assistants, that her position

solid mass of African flesh is wearing,
to say the least. The Industrial part
of the work is not so difficult as the
purely intellectual. 1t is not so hope
less task to make the African native
fashion something with his hands as
to make him grasp anything with his
brain. The women have learned in
