BAPTIST FOREIGN WORK.

How II Has Prospered In Africa and
the West Indies
The growth Of religious work in for
eign fields as conducted by the colored
Baptists of the United States is some
thing wonderful when we consider the
educational advantages they have had
on the subject Of worldwide missions.
Fourteen years ago they had one
missionary station and one mission
airy. with fewer than 200 members.
Now they have over 100 missionaries,
American and native. with valuable
school and church property in West.
South and British Central Africa. in
the West Indies and in South America
amounting to more than $4,000.

~" NofulFal Doo ENaHe GeSaPoQ ~
ing q Steel Masnate.
Perhaps the reason that most Of the
graduates OF the navy's admirable
course remain with the government in
preference to outside pursuits springs
from the same loyalty that saved Ad-
miral Bob from becoming a steel mag
nate.
When hard pressed for q story he
Will tell with charming simplicity Of
why he never left the government en-
ploy. 1t seems that when he was the
navy's steel expert In 1888 a private
corporation sought his services. The
young government specialist thought Il
over.
he was an acknowledged steel ex-
pert. In the government service his
personal ability would naturally be OBJ
scured from the worlds notice. On
the other hand. a connection with Q
steel corporation would make him IA
nous and rich. But IL was the govern
ment that had made him the master
OF his art. and he felt that his duty
was to remain in fits service.
Il have never been sorry," be will
say In conclusion. even when / have
heard OF other men who entered the
business and have become wealthy, for
the friends l have made during my
service to the navy are Of more value
to me than millions In steel" - Joe
