, A wonderful object lesson IN selfhel
comes from Uganda, where some ne
tives, under a native priest, built thei
own church, 300 of them walking 2
miles to carry back loads on their head
So anxious are they to help each othe
that suuads of Christians go to othe
villages to help build, and children SUI
port students in training for pup
teachers by making mats and potter!
and growing cotton and coffee.
r A remarkable instance of the change
which short quarter of a century ma
bring forth is shown in the recent il
vestiture of Christian King of Ugandi
Daudi Chwa is the son of King Mwang
: who put Bishop Harrington to deaf
: The realm over which he will reign is /
astounding contrast to that which h
f father inherited. 1t would seem th
