The population of Africa is estimated to be 175,000,000 and among these masses some 2,470 Protestant missionaries are at work, with 13,089 native assistants. The number of adherents gained is 527,800, and the communicants 221,156; for whom 4,790 places are provided. In the 4,000 schools, 203,400 pupils received instruction. Nearly 100 hospitals minister to the sick and suffering. Sixteen printing-presses are kept busy; and the Bible is supplied in all the principal languages. In Uganda, one half of the 700,000 inhabitants are Christians. In Cape Colony, about 200,000 are Christians.—Selected.
