Wonderful changes that have taken
place in the valley Of the Congo riy-
Ter in the heart of Africa since the
mouth of that stream was reached by
Stanley thirty Eight years ago were
portrayed in vivid word picture in
a lecture given last evening at the
Baptist church by Rev. Thomas Moo
dy who has worked as a missionary of
the Baptist church in that region
during the past twenty-five years.
Mr.. Moody said a hundred great
steamers were plying the waters OF
the Congo river today. There were
now thousands. of Christians in that
region, where, a little more than q
third of century ago, there were
no Christians at all. Still, there was
a great work ahead. The speaker
declared that in that region there
were fifty nine millions of human be-
lings VINO had never been touched by
the gospel of Christ at all. There
was a vast work for the Christian
laborers. The Congo and it's tribu-
taries made 10000 miles of navigable
streams, and the region was destined
to become more and more important.
Mr.. Moody is one of the directors
of the Laymen's Missionary move
ment, which will hold a convention
in Minneapolis on Sunday, Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday of next
week Among those who will prob
ably go from Mankato to attend this
gathering are Professor G. L. Net
Teton of the Mankato Commercial
college, W. d. Willard, Professor Pet
erson of the normal school, DR.. G. A
Cahoon, A. T. Carlson and George M
