Missionaries of the Sudan.

Missionaries wherever they work
have many difficulties to encounter
and many hardships to contend with
but I doubt if there~is any part of
the earth where the missionary has
a harder time than in the Sudan, !"
said DR.. A. G. Hudson Of Los Angeles,
who spent several months in that
country
Despite the effort of the Govern
ment to stamp them out, cannibalistic
practices are still prevalent in the
Sudan The Government is adopting
strong measures to punish those re-
sponsible for such inhuman practices.
1.-The worship of their ancestors,
witchcraft and the employment of
witch doctors and fetch worship are
among the obstacles that confront the
missionary. tut Notwithstanding these
and other difficulties the work of
evangelization is producing encourag-
ing results, and in Africa today there
are more than 100000 Christians"
