1t was missionery discourse II
which he gave an interesting account
of his travels in the Congo Free
state, Africa. He said there the ma
tives accept the Gospel called by
them (the Word of of Cod. A ma
tive preacher begs his hearers to re-
pent lest when they die they will go
to the bad place where 1t is eternal
ly cold, using the opposite term
from the one used in this country, as
heat has no terror for the natives.
They can scarcely endure a slight
chilly day and don't seem to know
how then to protect themselves. In
stead of wearing more clothing at
such times in the hottest weather on
their state occasions they don their
Prince Albert coats and high silk
hats, which they get secondhand
of the traders from England, and
wearing their blankets they present
a very ludicrous and uncomfortable
appearance. However, they feel
proud and we'll satisfied with them-
selves thus arrayed. A most deplor-
able heather belief of theirs is witch
craft. When one of them die they
think one or more of their number
are possessed of a witch or evil spirit
which caused the death. Such sus-
picious ones are selected and are
given poisonous drink from which
they usually die. Such as survive
are considered free of the evil spirit.
