A New Mosque at el-Nahud

Our Nahud correspondent writes that the corner stone of a new 
Mosque at El-Nahud was laid in the presence of a big assembly, 
including Mr. R. A. Bence-Pembroke, Inspector Kordofan Province, 
the Kadi, officers and officials of the district. 
The Kadi delivered an eloquent speech urging those present to 
subscribe generously to the funds required for this worthy cause. 
The Mamur followed in an able speech pointing out the fact that it 
was Mr. Bence-Pembroke who initiated the idea, and stating that His 
Excellency Sir Reginald Wingate during his last visit to Nahud sub- 
cribed Â£E50 towards the erection of this new Mosque, setting a good 
example to all. 
Sheikh Mohammed Hamad-El-Nil, Chief Sheikh of the Kadaria Order, delivered a short speech thanking Mr. Bence-Pembroke for his initiative in this matter and the Sudan Government for their tireless efforts in promoting the material and moral progress of the people of 
the Sudan. 
Mr. Bence-Pembroke then stood up and addressed those present in Arabic thanking the speakers for their kind words and expressing his best wishes for their success in completing the work they had begun.
