NORTH CENTRAL AFRICA.
BY e. w. GiIfes.

BY E.W. Giles.
In North Central Africa, we have
the great Sahara desert. It is no,
fall desert, however, as there are nu
merous cases, large and small. where
they have water and vegetation anc
people. SO we are finding mission.
airy fields in the midst Of the great
desert. Some railroads are being
built along the line of the chief cara
van routes, SO that some of these in.
terror fields are becoming accessible
by railroad, and the camel, the an
Gent "Ship of the Desert" is not SO
much used
Across on the eastern coast of
Africa we have Abyssinia, which is
the ancient Ethiopia Of the Bible. In
the 9Th chapter of Acts we read that
the Ethiopian eunuch went up to
Jerusalem to worship. He was, OBJ
viously, a Jewish worshper, but not
yet Christian. On his way home,
Philip, the Evangelist, fell in with
him and got up into his chariot and
preached unto him Jesus, and he was
happily converted and baptized and
went on his way rejoicing; and we
additionally understand that he went
home and preached the gospel to his
own people; and, SO, no doubt, was
the first Christian gospel preacher in
the great continent of Africa.
We also additionally understand
that the apostle Matthew lived and
labored and died in Ethiopia
In the northeastern corner of At
RIGA, we have Egypt. The descend
ants of the ancient Egyptians are
still there. We know them as the
Coptic people, and their church is
Coptic church. They are Christians
in way, but not a very good way.
They have a system of church organ
ization, a system Of priesthood and
a form of church worship, but not
much Bible in it,. This always re-
suits in weakness whether on the
part of the individual Christian, or
the local church, or the denomination,
or the Christian world at large. The
are going to these Cop
tic people with the open Bible, and
reading it to them, and teaching and
encouraging them to read it for
themselves, and they are slowly COM
ing into better things. Mission. sta
tions ve< been established here and
there for many miles up and down
the Nile river :.:. -
The Mohammedans are alarmingly
active in Northern Africa, and this
is one of our missionary problems.
Cyrene is in Northern Africa, and
as we do not know of any other
Cyrene, we are confident that Simon,
who carried the cross for Jesus, was
from Northern Africa. 49,
There was much Christian activity
in Northern Africa during the apos-
tolic period, and also during the pc
Rod of the church fathers.
:. Among the great men of the early
church in Northern Africa, there was
bishop of Alexandria,
Cyprian, bishop Of Carthage, and
bishop of Hippo.
Northern Afriac has a. mixed popu-
lation, consisting of the native Afri-
can people and people from Europe
and people from Asia, which enlarges
the missionary problem. But from
the missionary viewpoint, we regard
problems as opportunities.
