CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR.
A Large Meeting Last Sunday.

One of the most interesting Chris
tiaT. EndeavOr meetings OF the winter
was held at the Fifteenth Street Pres
byterian Church last Sunday, when
Mrs. @. c. Campbell spoke to the So
cienty ana visitors concerning mis-
siOnary work in Africa Mrs. Camp
bell with her husband, spent over
five years in the wilds of Africa. and
her talk, full Of interest and advice,
was warmly received by those pres
ent
One of the interesting experiences
which Mrs Campbell told was one
chief. The Outstanding of this chief
and his immense family (for polyg-
amy is practiced in Africa seemed
a task impossible for the missionaries
to perform. After Mrs. Campbell and
her husband had been in Africa for
several years the husband became af-
1icted with the dreadful African fever.
To get him out Of the country was
the only means of saving his life. This
African chief, hearing that the mis-
Sionary would return to the States,
persuaded them to take his son on
the voyage with them. in order that
when he returned he could spend the
rest Of his days telling his father of
his experiences This they did. and
when Mr.. Campbell had sufficiently
recovered they returned with the boy
to Africa. Sad to say, however. the
son died after being on his native
soil short while One peculiar trait
Of the African Is the habit Of mutter-
ing in his language the word dark
ness This son OF the chief, how
ever, continually muttered in his Ian
guage the word light" (for he had
embraced the Christian religiOn) be
fore his death. This made the chief
and his entire family stare in amaze
ment. In fact, so impressed were they
to find out the cause Of muttering Of
the chiefs son that they requested
Mr. and Mrs. Campbell to reserve the
church for the family only Although
against the custom, the missionaries
consented. The result was that this
whole tribe, after listening to the gOs-
pei in the burial service, embraced
the religion and thereafter became
staunch followers Of the church
The speaker made a special appeal
for aid, both financially and personal
Iy, in the missionary field. Without
help, the speaker said. the work can
not be successfully carried on.
Because of the return OF the African
fever, which Overcame her husband
Mrs. Campbell was compelled to sail
for the United States. She IS now
principal Of the Ingleside School for
Girls and Young Women at Burke
vile. Va.
The meeting next Sunday at )
o'clock tends to be filled with interest
and enthusiasm. Mrs N. B. Heath
(the Heath has recently been attach
ed deserves the highest praise for the
service she IS rendering and the inter
esting and instructive programs which
are presented each Sunday.

first, a growing conviction on the part
of Colored youths that if they are to
