SAVAGES AND CLOTHES.

the Missionaries.

Ardent missionaries were trying to
convert the natives of a village in un-
clad Africa to mOdeSty as well as TO
Christianity and for that purpose pro-
vided them all with more or less com
plete outfits Of clothes. The natives
were delighted and spent several days
simply in parading in civilized garb
through the one narrow village street.
But when sunday arrived and the
blacks thrOuged TO the weekly church
service. carrying the new clothes in
bundles under their arms, the mission
aries were diSmayed and feared some
kind of barbaric outbreak But since
there seemed to be the usual min
gliu- of curiosity and reverence on
the part Of the natives they decided
to ask no questions until after the
service. There was "a normal quiet
until just as the sermon was begun
Then suddenly a huge chief, who
had been squatting with his face to-
ward the open doorway. leaped TO his
feet with an exclamation.
Immediately the others of the tribe
did likewise. crying, The sun-the

proceeded To put Oh their clothes.
