A travers l'Ouganda au Mont Elgon . à sa somme-mons, soixante mille personnes rassemblent un hommage tourender au roi des rois, ou à goforth parmi les nations mêmes qui détestent theBaganda pour leur oppression passée, pour leur faire connaître l'Évangile de la lumière, de la vie et de la liberté.

Through Uganda to Mount Elgon . at its sum-mons full sixty thousand people assemble torender homage to the King of kings, or to goforth among the very nations who hate theBaganda for their past oppression, to makeknown to them the Gospel of light and lifeand liberty. The morning service may seem somewhatlengthy to a European, but he will not failto be impressed by the reverence of the con-gregation, their bright and hearty—if to hisears unmusical—singing, and by the largenumber of communicants.

The visitor will also be interested andamused at the process of evolution evidentin the attire of the congregation, and he willunderstand that such absurdities are boundto show themselves even at solemn timesand in sacred places, when a nation unusedto such things is suddenly given the meansof displaying its most fantastic tastes in colourand shape..

The cathedral is surrounded by other build-ings, in which the ordinary work of schools, preparation for baptism and confirmation, andthe training of teachers is carried on. There is a fine school for girls, another forwomen, and another for boys, all built of sun-dried brick ; besides which there is an impos-ing structure of the same material used as atheological hall, in which the teachers andclergy are trained. The work carried on in these buildings isof an extensive, interesting, and useful cha-racter, beginning at the very bottom of theladder with ABC, and going right on tothe higher branches of theology. On one day of the week all this teaching
