hands of the whites years ago, it was a very difficult
matter at first to gain their confidence, but Dr. God-
den, a medical missionary, after years of patience
and much well-doing, has at last succeeded in get-
ting their good will, and the prospects for the future
are bright.

NonweciaAn Mission tn Arnica. — Our Friend
reports: The Rev. Johannes Astrup of our Mission
in South Africa writes that at Christmas time 120
adults were to be baptized at the one station known
as Untunjambili, and about 50 at Edambe station,
where the young Rev. Faye is working. He: also
writes that over 100 have been baptized during the
year. ‘That makes a total of about 270 souls added
to the Church at these two stations during the
year 1912.

BerorE AND Arter. —In a book entitled, The
Origin and History of Missions, published in 1837,
Rev. Thomas Smith said: “We close this account of
South African Missions by stating from the report
of 1830 that in Southern Africa there are fourteen
stations and fifteen mission areas, under whose care
are societies containing 528 members.” This was not
long before Livingstone began his labors in 1841.
In 1907, there were fifty-two missionary sccicties at
work in South Africa, having a total force of 1,589
foreign missionaries, one hundred and six times as
many as at the early date, with 8,680 native workers,
610 principal stations, 4,790 other stations, 322,673
communicants, 622,098 baptized Christians, and
1,145,326 total adherents.

Pror.x who pay the least towards the support
of the Gospel generally expect the most of the
preacher. They want “powerful” preachers, — and
they surely necd them.
