Tee missionary address given
by Dr. Lucien E. Smith, M. D.,
in the Presbyterian' church on
Tuesday evening, was greatly appreciated by those who were fortunate to bear him. Even standing room was at a premium aad
many were turned away.
In tbe afternoon he spoke to
the yoong folks in the public
schools. He held their closest
attention and would have bete
able to interest them for e much
longer time had it been possible
to keep them from tbeir regular
work.
These who did not bear him
certeinly missed a real treat.
Dr. Smith told ot many experiences he aud his wife had white
in that continent and how the
great African race needs the help
of civilised Christian people. In
starting his lecture he showed the
audience heavy brats riugs whioh
bad been removed from tbe neck
aod ankle of heathen. These
rings caused sores and infections
tbat resulted in serious diseases.
Tbe ring is handed down from
one generation to another aad is
prized very highly by the wearer
said Dr. Smith. It is considered
beautiful and artistic to wear tbe
rings which become heirlooms in
in the families.
