ACROSS AFRICA.

It will be remembered that the late Robert Arthington left to the London Missionary Society and the Baptist Missionary Society of England a large sum of money to be devoted entirely to the opening of new missions. In the use of this money the Baptist Missionary Society has now inaugurated an exploring expedition, with a view of opening stations in the region between the upper Congo and Lake Albert, where the Church Missionary Society is at work, thus forming a chain of mission stations directly across Africa, from the Atlantic to the Indian Ocean. A company has been formed in Brussels to construct a railway from Stanley Falls to Lake Albert, and another from Nyangwa to Lake Tanganyika. This will be a mighty stride toward the civilization and evangelization of the Dark Continent.—Missionary Herald.
