On to Tanganyika

EN route from Nyasaland, British Central Africa, to the Tanganyika plateau, to plant a mission in new territory southeast of Lake Tanganyika, Elder J. C. Rogers sends us a photograph of his little touring camp, and writes:—

“We travel with native carriers only, as we must pass through sleeping sickness districts where the risk is too great for donkeys. We have with us two young men and their wives from our old Malamulo station, Nyasaland, and two boys of a superior tribe who have been with us since they were ten years of age. So Mrs. Rogers and I have friendly faces with us, though we may not see a white face for a year or two. We often sleep under a spreading tree without the tent, if the camping place is reached late in the evening. Folding beds, some blankets, and mosquito nets to hang over a handy branch to cover the beds, make us very comfortable in the dry season.

“As we walk along these rolling highlands, the scenes of Livingstone’s last labors, I cannot doubt that the Lord will guide us also in the way to the right place for the new mission.”
