School Work in Africa

BROTHER I. B. BURTON, in speaking of the work of a native out-school teacher at Faba, Africa, says: “He has made a success of his work at Fish River, and I can not tell you how pleased I am with the school work there. To think that fifteen months ago those children were all in the red-blanket condition, knowing nothing about A, B, or C, and are now able to read and write, and have a fair knowledge of the Bible! The progress is wonderful. They knew nothing about singing then, and now they sing well. God has blessed that work, and to him be all the praise.” Brother Burton says there is just such another opening five miles from this school, which promises good returns in souls as well; but at present there is no teacher. Workers are greatly needed in Africa.
