The Scotch Baptists began a mission to S.W. Nyasaland and also on
the Zambezi in 1895. There, also, is the Zambezi Industrial Mission
(undenominational), which was founded in 1893, and endeavours to be
self-supporting by its industrial work. A few American missionaries,
mostly under Bishop Hartzell of the American Episcopal Church, have
attempted settlement in the Portuguese possessions on the West and
the South-east coasts of Africa; and there are also unattached
American missionaries in the Congo basin carrying on work on their
own account, without being connected with any special society.
Finally, Plymouth Brethren and other English Protestants of
different denominations organized a Protestant missionary,
enterprise in North Africa as the “North African Mission,”
established in 1886. This mission has numerous representatives in
Morocco, Algeria, Tunis, Tripoli, and Egypt. As it devotes itself
mainly to the conversion of Muhammadans, it has had but slight
success at present from the propagandist’s point of view, but it has
achieved more than any other a preparation of the Moslem mind for
the consideration of Christian ethics, and its educational work of
late has been warmly appreciated by the French authorities. This
mission has numerous women members who visit the harims for
educational and for medical purposes. Its agents have been
remarkable for their thorough acquaintance with Arabic and even with
the Berber dialects of Morocco and Algeria.
