Central Union Church Sunday even
ing at 7:30 and you will hear re-
view of this most interesting book
written by Dan Crawford -
! The author of Thinking Black has
had an exceptionally thrilling life,
and he knows how to write of it and
give the reader much the same sense
of romance as the original adventure
produced Born in Scotland, Mr..
Crawford has deoyted his life to the
missionary work in darkest Africa,
and has lived with the native and
shared the widest life of the interior
so completely that the title of his
book is no exaggeration As. facto-
tum, aide-de-camp, or whatever the
proper term is for the private seere-
tary of an African chief, Mr.. Crawford
had SO many unusual experiences and
his recital of them has made him an
exceptionally popular speaker in the
states.
During May he will pass through
Honolulu en- route to Australia and it
is hoped that arrangements may be
made whereby he may stop over here
for boat. A cablegram is expected
soon from New Zealand giving def
mite Information on this point. In the
meantime it is well to be getting in
touch With this unique personality
and Honolulu people will want to
hear what Doctor Scudder has to say
about his book, which is holding the
center of the literary stage on the
mainland.
Al cordial invitation is extended to
all strangers and visitors in the city
to attend these services.
