German East Africa

By H. Drangmeister

KIHURIO.— While the aged are hard to reach with the gospel, because they stick so closely to their heathen customs, yet almost without exception they allow their children to be instructed in our mission schools. God's Word exercises a saving power over the youth, and already many of these young people have taken their stand for the truth, and have been baptized.
I believe this is the most favorable time we shall ever have in this land to preach the gospel. The German East African government preserves peace among the various native tribes, so that there are no wars, no insurrections, and no political difficulties in this territory. Order and peace prevail.
Six months ago we opened an out-school at Vunta, up in the mountains. We began with forty boys, and now have 170 enrolled. We certainly can advance, but only as men and means are at hand for the work. H. DRANGMEISTER.
