On the Victoria Nyanza
By R. Stein
WE have seen the hand of the Lord opening the way to reach a people to whom access was very difficult. In the Victoria Nyanza there are many islands which are more or less inhabited. To visit all these and erect schools on them would have been next to impossible. The government is now depopulating these islands and taking the people over to the mainland, in order to remove them from the territory where sleeping sickness and other diseases are raging. One of these homeless sultans with his people came here to the district of Iramba. Two hundred of their children now attend our school, and on the Sabbath the people come to hear the Word of God in their own tongue. Ten of our pupils who have learned to read and write now gather regularly for Bible study, and we are praying that these may all decide to follow their Lord fully. R. STEIN.
