The Royal Niger Company and the Gospel

A PROMINENT missionary worker writes in the London Christian that "it is no longer a secret, close or open," that the new Royal Niger Company, recently chartered by England, "has made treaties with the several Negro Mohammedan powers in the Soudan of Africa, east of the Niger, promising not only that they will do nothing through their own employes to attempt the conversion of Mohammedans, but will do all that lies in their power to obstruct the others who come under their influence. This amounts to open war of so-called Christian men with the gospel." The new policy began with January 1 of the current year.
