NORTH CENTRAL AFRICA.
BY e. w. GILES.

In North Central Africa, we have
the great Sahara desert. It is not
all desert, however, as there are nu-
merous GASES, large and small, where
they have water and vegetation and
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
cient "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 worshiper, but not
yet a 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
traditionally 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 anc
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 tht
Coptic people, and their church i!
Coptic- church. They are. Christians
in a way, but not very good way
They have system of church organ
ization, a system of priesthood ant
a form of church worship, but no
much Bible in it. This always re
suits in weakness whether on TIN
part of the individual Christian, o.
the local church, or the denomination
or the Christian world at large. Thu
missionaries are going to these Cop
tic people with the open Bible, ant
reading it to them, and teaching ant
encouraging them to read it 70:
themselves, and they are slowly com
ing into better things. Mission sta

Teamsters Do "Rubbering"
 Traffic Is Thus Congested

77 per cent that could save time by using less congested streets, some were on a direct route, but many were found to have gone out of their way to be in on the fashion show.
 Drivers of horse-drawn vehicles were found to be most numerousiy out of place, and their numbers in cluded types as different as a city dumpcart and a victoria. One truck gardener, driving his own team, told the police he was bound from Faneuii Hall to Medford. The corner of Boylston and Fremont Streets. where he was questioned, is a mile or more south of any possible direct line os tween those points. q just wanted to look them over." he explained.

BOSTON, Nov. 17.-Vehiculaf :raf- fic congestion in fashionable shop ping thoroughfares is more a mat ter of curiosity than of business, the police traffic squad has reported t, the street commissioner. Teamsters and chauffeurs use these thorough fares not so much because they neei to be there as to see the passing show, the report says.
 The conclusion that some drivers make long detours in order to join the stream of vehicles that flows past the shops. with their currents of smartly-attired women moving in and out or pausing to gaze at show windows, was based by the traffic squad on percentages. Questioning of l.225 drivers during several per- iods in the course of day recently developed that only 23 per cent of those canvassed had any real reason for being on Fremont Street. Of the

"A government-operated steamship line, inevitably involving heavy cost, should not be undertaken Gin Alaskan waters) except as an alter native," declared Governor Scott c.

 Such concentration of authority and responsibility, and centraliza- ton of administrative powers in Al aska, to the fullest extent possible consistent with continued government tai supervision, fully believe, are absolutely necessary to speed the progress and development of tho Territory
 My conviction of this imperative need has not been hastily acquired, but Is based upon a knowledge of Al aska and study of Alaska conditions covering a period of 10 years or more.
 Therefore, l am in earnest and most hearty accord with the spirit and purpose of both pending meas ures (No 2203, by Senator Cummins, and No. 2382, by Senator New) in so far as they aim to bring about such simplification and co-ordina. tion.
