Persecution in the Kongo

REV. W. H. BENTLEY writes from Wathen Station, on the Lower Kongo: "To follow Christ out here at present means trouble and persecution; every death or sickness is ascribed to the Christians, and abuse and threats follow. It is very trying, but it tends to the deepening and strengthening of the spiritual life. So long as they abstain from actual violence it is a comparatively small matter; as the work increases and extends it will probably go further than mere threats, and the Kongo church will have its martyrs as the churches in all other lands."
