THE HOME OF HART SCHAFFNER & MARX CLOTHES MOORHEAD, MINN. Letter from Sudan Mission (Continued from last issue) The three ladle's in our party tra-elled in two hammocks and a chair •arrled by native porters or on foot t their pleasure. I journeyed on The Apostles' Horses \ Baggage 'Oiisisting of boxes, bed-bags and runks was carried on the heads of atives. Our carriers numbered fifty. •V single load carried by a porter A'eighed from 50 to 65 pounds. iteameT trunks, suspended on poles, /ere earned by 2 or 4 natives. Roads away from the railway are 'ither "bush" or graded roads. A msh road Is like the Indian trail at home. Graded roads have been built ip by the Government with native abor as a beginning for auto traffic. N'gaoumlere may be more easily 'cached through Nigeria via the Nigsr and Benue rivers to Garoua, until ;iito traffic has been more generally stabllshed between here and the oast. Garoua is only nine days trek from N'gaoundere. We travelled \>y way of Douala to present our papers to a delegate of the Commissioner of the Republic. The Government has provided "Campements*' at intervals along the roads for the use of travellers. These are rost houses made of clay walls and 'thatched roofs. They are in charge of careltakers, wnoj provide wood, water, chickens, egg$, bananas, papaws, honey, potatoes, cassafa and food for the carriers. No charge is made for stopping at the.se places but one pays for food ordered and gives the caretaker a Up commonly called a "dash''. Travellers must provide their own servants, beds, bed-ding, tables, chairs, dishes, and cook- Ing utensils. We made it a point to be xip at three In the morning for breakfast, devotions and packing so as to be on the road at five o'clock. Our diary shows that the next to the last day's journey of our trip was made between the hours of 4:55 and 10:50. The1 distance covered In this five and a half hours trip was 30 kilometres or about eighteen and a half miles It was our privilege to become ac-quainted with the results of Christian missionary work, as we made our way from the* coast to N'gaoundere. Work done by native 'pastors and catechlsta is most encouraging. In-terest in the Word of God shown by Christians and inquirers as I spoke to them through an interpreter has left an indelible Impression upon our minds as to fruit borne by the' means of grace used by the Holy Spirit of God. You will be interested in Pldgeon English spoken by Africans, especial-ly nearer the coast. A native parttor to whom we listened as he preached on "Tho Wonderful Draught of BHsh-e «s" recorded In the fifth chapter of Luke used such expressions as the following: "Anything no be hard for God", "If you no have chop (food), you ask God for chop you get him'', "Try with all your heart you will get,'' "We must be strong for our faith,'1 and "Give him your heart, so he will give you for anything you need''. One must apply the accent and pronunciation used by colored people of tji© southern States In Am-erica to fully appreciate" the peculiar-ity of the language. j (Continued on page 4) PHOISIE 529 FOR . , C.
