Mission to Northern Nigeria

A PARTY of four young men recently sailed from England, for Northern Nigeria, under the direction of the Sudan United Mission. The Bautchi Hills will be the center of the work. This party includes Dr. A. H. Bateman, a graduate of the University of Durham, and a representative from Scotland, from Ireland, and from Germany. They will begin work among the heathen tribes in the Bautchi district, which, though twice the size of Ireland, has never had a missionary. There are about twelve British workers, in three British stations, in Hausaland. But none of these are laboring among the pagan people, many of whom have never accepted Mohammedanism, which had made inroads in that part of the country.
