Uganda, Africa.— In the Uganda country is a lake with several islands. From an article in the Missionary Review, referring to mission work in that country, we take this extract:— “A missionary visiting a small island in the lake two or three years ago, found but one person who could read at all. Two teachers were sent, and, after nine months, sixty were reading the Gospel. Two teachers were sent to another island, and in a year one very rude church building, that even when uncomfortably full could hold but one hundred, had multiplied into four, one of which would hold seven hundred; the congregation of a hundred had multiplied tenfold. On the large island of Sese all the chiefs are Roman Catholics. Yet there are some three hundred twenty Protestants, nicknamed ‘the people of the Holy Ghost,’ which, like the nickname ‘Christians,’ at Antioch, is an honor, not a reproach; and these disciples, ignorant as they are, evince a like readiness with the early Christians to face opposition and persecution for His name; and nowhere has a greater desire for reading been shown.”
