to cook English fashion, and therefore he would advise that I have it cooked in the English way. This being rather more of a breakfast than I could consume, I only had the chicken and eggs cooked. I had the goat made fast and carried him home to my wife, who I knew would be delighted to have him for a pet. After I had eaten, the king came to see how I enjoyed my breakfast. After talking a while he told me that he would be glad to have a missionary station planted at or near his town, so that he could send his children to school that they might learn about God’s law. He then took me around the town and showed me the barricade. Then he took me on the outside of the barricade and pointed out to me a very beautiful spot of ground, which he would give for a mission station. I could only thank him for his hospitality toward the mission and his seeming love for the work. On Sunday I preached in a very large village, and I really believe that every man, woman and child was present, and it seemed as if they were completely spellbound during the entire service. It inspires one to put forth greater efforts when he chances to penetrate into the interior and there see the difference between these tribes and those living on the coast. They are not so corrupt in habits from association with the low class of traders. One thing very remarkable about this people is that they are not at all hostile toward the light-skinned man nor the dark-skinned man, but will soon learn to put implicit confidence in either, and more especially if he speak to them about Jesus Christ. They, from some source or other, have learned that there is a Saviour. Even those who have never seen or heard a missionary themselves seem to be thoroughly informed as to the objects of this mission. I am impressed more and more each day that the many years’ work of our missions in Africa has been a great success. Not only blossoms but fruits are already seen in the immediate vicinity of the mission, and far into the interior there has been a silent influence for good that we knew not of. The labors of the dark days of our missions were not in vain, but are now being crowned with the glorious fruits of righteousness, which will only be a brighter crown for those who have fallen asleep at their post of duty. * * * * * THE INDIANS. * * * * * SCHOOL AND CHURCH WORK AT DUNGINESS.
