Africa Is the land of the open

ravages Of disease are inevidence on

continent there is no isolation In

the movements Of lepers. Loathsome
diseases are well nigh universal.
The Methodist church has only one

"Mohammedanism Is spreading
very rapidly throughout the entire

Africa is q Hohammedan. There are
over 100000 of them south OF the
equator. Within the next 20 years
millions more will have gone over
to Islam unless the church bestirs
herself.
"One area in Africa, unoccupied
by missionaries, Is three times the
