Zulu Mission, Natal, South Africa
By J. C. ROGERS
THIS mission has three teacher-evangelists who spend most of their time out in the kraals. They have neither schoolhouses nor churches, being really traveling evangelists. A few natives are keeping the Sabbath as a result of James's work one hundred miles north of Spion Kop. Two other evangelists live on the mission farm, going among native villages near by. Some have been baptized as the result of their work. Natives here are not so eager to hear the gospel as are the raw heathen in the heart of Africa. The Zulu Mission has a very small school, but among the pupils are some promising boys and girls. We hope the school will grow. Elder Armitage has a private teacher for his two daughters (one adopted), separate from the Zulu school. Rachel, a native girl from our Kafirland Mission, assists in the Zulu school. Her age may be about twenty years. (We do not know accurately the ages of the natives.) She teaches quite well for a native.
