WRAY AMONG THE WATEITA PEOPLE. Put to the Test--Many Attempts Were Made to Kill Him--He Cut Down the "Tree God" With Consent of Natives. Christian Herald. 'Far out in the Sagalla Hills, a few miles from the station Voi on the Uganda railroad, stood an old black ebony tree which for generations had been worshipped as the "tree- god" of the country by 'the warlike Wateita tribe. Time and time again the white invaders had tried to subdue and civilize this tribe, which before the terrible rinderpest was one of the largest tribes of that part of Africa. Twenty years ago, the Church Missionary society of England planned to take up mission work among this Wateita people, and an in- telligent young man, Alfred E. Wray volun- teered to do the pioneer work. He started out from Mombasa to cross on foot the dread- ed Taru Derest, where so many lost their lives for want of water, long before the Uganda railroad was even surveyed, and ar- rived at the beginning of the dry season, among the Wateita people, who had some large settlements in the beautiful Sagalla Hills. He was the first white man that had ever tried to live among this tribe. Mr. Wray only had a scant outfit, and not knowing one word of the language of the Wateitas, whose speech had never been re- duced to writing, he set about to enquire from the natives the names of all the common ob- jects he saw. Every word thus learned he put down, as it sounded to him, and, after a short time, he was able to make himself understood. To begin with, they received him with a deal of cordiality and still more curios- ity, but, as the months went along, their witch their business of deceiving their ignorant countrymen would suffer through the influence of this foreigner, These medicine men and witch doctors exercise a great influence over the natives, and are held very much in re- spect by them. During the second year of Mr. Wray's life among the Wateitas, the tide seemed to turn against him: the dry season continued longer than usual, and when the rain finally came it was so scant that the crop for that year failed almost entirely. Now the witch doctors thought that they could "get even" with the foreign, intruder, and stirred up the people against him, telling them that they had re- peatedly seen him with "white flags," scaring away the rain gods from the country. These "white flags" were only his washing on a line. One day a young native, whose friend- ship Mr. Wray had won, came into his little grass hut, and told him that unless he fled that night, he would 'be-killed as the witch doctors had succeeded in having the great chief promise that, to pacify the rain-gods and have them send the coveted showers, he would have the foreign white man killed and his belongings burned. Mr. Wray did not know quite what to do, but not being of the "chicken-hearted" kind, he resolved to trust God and take the consequences. That evening he went to sleep soundly as usual after his day's work, but shortly before midnight he was awakened by a tremendous noise outside his hut; a war drum was beaten furiously and hundreds of natives with spears and axes had gathered all around to prevent lis escape. Big steel spears were thrown through the walls of the hut, and finally one of the men set fire to it. Grabbing his English Bible, he rushed out and succeeded in eluding his pursuers in the darkness, without being $0 much as hurt by the missiles, arrows and spears flung at him. After having hidden him- self for a couple of days in the hills, Mr. Wray suddenly appeared in the middle of the chief's village as if nothing had happened. His courage so impressed the natives that they resolved to leave him alone, and for this time at least make no more attempts on his life. But within the next twelve months three them from ambush, but all three times Mr. Wray most miraculously escaped, going right back again to his old place. His fearless per- sistence in staying among the tribe in spite of all finally won for him the esteem of the big chief, who promised him that he should have no more trouble from the witch doctors and the medicine men. Now began a new era in his missionary work. Many times dozens of men would sit down in front of him with their spears stuck down in the ground beside them eagerly listen- ing to his story about the great God of Love. After more than twelve years of faithful ork, Mr. Wray, who had been home onge £ the areantime to England, was called home again, and now told the natives that he was going to marry and bring a white wom with him back to Sagalla. As none of the natives had ever seen a white woman, they told him not to stay away long, as they were all very curious to see his wife. Mr. Wray returned to Mombasa with his young wife, intelligent, devout and fearless. Mr, Wray, however, did not bring his wife with him to Sagalla right away, but left her at the mission station in Mombasa while he went back to Sagalla to prepare for her coming there. Hundreds of men and women came up to the main village to See his white "Bibi," and were terribly disappointed to find him alone. When asked why he had not brought his wife, he told them that as he loved his wife dearly he did not care to have her life risked before he found out how they now felt about their liv- ing among them. They all assured him with one accord, that if he would bring her up, they would never try to do him or her any harm, but that they would treat her just as nicely as they could. When Mr. Wray ex- pressed his doubt as to the sincerity of their promise, the chief said that he could demand anything hd wanted from them, and lthey would give it as evidence of their good in- tentions. At this moment Mr. Wray could ; played an important part in the life of the tribe dur- So he sail to the big chief: "If yon will give me your tree-god and your holy hill on which it stands, 1 will believe that you are ters and buggies for their sons. n| Or our asking, and we use them; enjoy them, THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG, SATURDAY, the crowd returned following their chief, and announced their willingness to turn over to the missionary their tree-god and their holy hill. his wife back with im to Sagalla, where he, in the presence of representatives from the whole tribe, cut down their tree-god with the help of some of the natives themselves. As this cbony tree was valuable, he had it cut up in pieces and sent to a friend in London, 'Who had needleboxes, cardcases, paperweights, etc, mdde from the beautiful black wood. These pieces were sold among his friends in England and brought him over $3,000, as some friends had given for the good cause as much as a hundred dollars for an article. With this money Mr. Wray purchased a portable church, which was shipped to Mombasa and brought up on the Uganda Railroad, which had then been built within forty miles of the Sagalla Mission Station. From the railroad more than six hundred men, women and chil- dren voluntarily brought up the pieces on their own shoulders and helped erect the church, which stands exactly over the spot where for generations the old ebony tree had been worshipped. Now hundreds of Chris- tian converts, decently clad, gather in this place to worship the true and living God. A Silent Tower and Lesson. : A grey, weather-beaten church, which overlooks from the cliffs the quaint harbor of Boscastle, Eng- land, is known as the Silent Church. No bells swing in its tower, calling to prayer and praise. It stands a monument of disappointed hope. Long ago the Lord of Bottreaux, from whom Boss castle derives its name, at the petition of the in- habitants, promised a peal of bells for their church at Forrabury. The bells were cast in London, and the vessel which bore them crept down 'chan- nel and past perilous rocks off Land's End. Safely she sped along the north Cornish coast, then sail- ed beneath the frowning bluff of King Arthur's castle at Tintagel, whence across still waters floated the sweet call of the bell from the old church, which has stood for ages on the cliffs. The pilot, on bended knee, offered thanks to the God Who had granted the completion of the voyage, for the twin headlands that guard Bos: castle's harbor were visible. But the captain, 3 man without faith, swore that no Hand save his own had brought the ship safe to port, and that no voice of thankfulness to any.save to him should be uttered upon his ship. Scarcely had he spoken before the sky darkened with the sudden squalls that break suddenly on this coast from the open Atlantic, and a mighty billow swept upon his vessel and took him una- wares. In full sight of the watchers by the shore, the vessel-capsized. None save the pilot escaped. With a solemn death-knell tfe bells sank into the waters. On wild nights the superstitious still say that they hear their solemn notes beneath the waters warning of the coming storm, a call to the unready not to be too sure, but to prepare for coming danger and ithe last great day. The tower of Forrabury is still the "Silent Tower." Which things are, behind all their picturesque romance, a parable.. It is man's unthankfulness which muffles the music ever ascending to the Eternal God from all creation. | Automobiles on. the Farms, Travel Magazine. owned by farmers. Kansas fatmers spent $3,200,000 for automobiles during 1909, and: $2,750,000 in 1908. In one Nebraska town of 800 population, forty autos were sold last year to farmers near the town and retired farmers in the town. Careful estimate of the number of autos owned by farmers in the United States is 76,000. Nowadays there is no more cry about lack of opportunity on the farm. Sixteen makers are advertising autos in the 450 farm papers of the country, and most of them are arguing that the automobile will keep the boy on the farm, and make life more livable for the wife, whose dreary round of labor has been the pity of the country. The farmer with an auto can take his family for du evening call, or lecture, without using his horses. He can go to church on Sunday more regularly; he can visit distant relatives and friends more frequently; he can go to town oftener and more quickly. There are 48,000,000 people living on farms and in towns of less than 4,000 in the country, over half the population, About 25,000,000 of these are young people, keen for plgasure .

An entirely new meaning has been given to the village social life in consequence. Oldest Wedding Pact Discovered. Out of the mass of "elephantine" papyrus in the Royal Museum at Berlin, on which scholars have been at work several 'months, have come upon remarkable "finds." One of these is the most ancient marriage contract in the 'world. Written in excellent classical Greek, from its context evidently composed about 311 B.C, the document begins: "In the seventh year of the reign of Alexander; the son of Alexander, in the fourteenth year of he satrapy of Ptolemaos in the month of 0s." y has agreed to take as his wife Demetria of Kos, the lawful daughter of her father, Lep- tines, and of her mother, Philetis.

The rashest, probably the bravest, man in the United States, 'certainly now that Roose velt is on tour, is James H. Starke, of Bos- ton, who has published a book telling both sides of the loyalist question af the time of the American Revolution. ' It has provoked the intensest resentment. The United States- er is highly effusive in his nationality, and will brook no other feeling. At times a little British flag cannot be flown in the midst of a myriad of stars and stripes. Men who have, perhaps inadvertently, sneered at "Old Glory," have been ostracized by neighbors for year after year. To publish what Starke had done was thought to be out of all probability. The storm is on, and it is fierce. Every Son and Daughter of the Revolution is mortified and demonstrative. To quote from the Bos- ton Traveller for the rest of the condensed story: "It is going to be a merry war! Before it is finished tea will flow like water and the hearthstones of New England will be stained by the ink of a million patriots, Mr. Starke, who came to Boston from England at the age of nine, has done what the Psalmist want< ed his enemy tq do. He has written a book, The spirit moved him to sdy things about some of the gentlemen who figured in the Revolution, and he did it. He calls. the book "The Loyalists of Massachusefts" An equal: ly good--perhaps better--name would be "Skeletons in Boston's Family Closets." The book is calm without being common, and judicial without being judicious. It has five hundred pages and it might readily be believed that sundry good people would have given a great many dollars a page not to have had it printed. For it is as frank and open as a police court docket, and a lot more in- teresting. Here are a few of its breeziest statements: » Patrick Henry was one of the most unre- liable men living. ' John Adams joined the disunionists because | he saw there would be great opportunity for advancement under the new government. Samuel Adams was a ne'er-doswell, a failure at everything he had undertaken, and a de- faulter as tax-collector of Boston. a John Hancock lost a great fortune which he inherited, was a smuggler, and as trea- surer 6f Harvard College defaulted the funds intrusted to him. .. Alexander Hamilton was 3. soldier 6f for- tupe, who met. his death at the hands of a man more dissolute than himself. * Benjamin Franklin, when 67 years old, was dismissed as postmaster of Boston because he stole letters from the mail. And there are others, At last the lid is off. The muckrake has gone down deeper than ever before, until it has laid bare the secrets of those whom the people delight to honor. "The Treason of the Senate" was pretty strong, but it didn't gqual this.

First thing we 'know, someone will be out with a book deny- ing that William the Conqueror conquered. anything, and asserting that Good King John got a thousand dollars from Uncle Hi Moe to grant the Magna CHarta. Then they'll begin to muckrake the purpose of the cru- saders in fecovering the Holy Sepulchre from the Saracens and annexing such treasure as might be found along the road, and after that will come a brochure on Joseph's famous corner in corn. Even Old Man Moses won't be immune, We used to believe in Santa Claus and the Patriarchs and John Hancock. First, they slaughtered old Santa. Then they told us 'Abraham was a figure of speech for a tgibe. Help! Help!" ; Mr. Starke has written a number of books upon Bermuda and the West Indies especial- ly. He married a Canadian, a church woman, daughter of Mr. Manton, of Kingston, for- merly of the British Army. His life in Bos- ton will henceforth be interesting. ATHEISTIC REPUBLIC. Another General Election Will Take Place in France in May. The question expressed or implied in elec- tions of the last forty years--the permanency of the republic--is no longer raised, even im- plicitly.' The reconciliation of the chiiteh and the republic effected by Pope Leo XIII was believed to have put an end forever to the war between the clericals and the repub- lic. It appears, however, that peace was sin. cerely signed by only one of the parties, if, indeed by either. Scarcely had the French hierarchy announced their adhesion t> the republican regime than the radical elements in the French chambers began a war "a out- rance" on all forms of religion. This war culminated in the abrogation of the concord- at, the complete separation of church and state, and finally in a programme of educa- tional secularization cunningly devised to make the coming generation of Frenchmen all atheists. The legislation began by throw- ing out of the schools all religious symbols prohibiting religious 'teaching. The process has gone so far that the school books have been painfully revised so as to exclude &ll religious references, even where historical veracity would require them. . Even specimen phrases used to illustrate idiomatic forms have been purged of every frace of a religions word. "God 'is great" has been changed to "Paris is great" od is merci- ful to sinners" is changed to "This plain is fertile with wheat" The sentence, "Why not to dregd the hereafter" would seem harmless enough, but the atheistical revisers of France detected in it a trace of a sugges- tion of immortality, and substituted "Rome is 'a magnificent tity. We admire its monu- ments." A reading book contained a charming little story about two orphans from Alsace, who after the war made a journey across the country to an uncle's house, and said their . betimes on the way. All this is rub- bed oft in the revision, and two fine little -iatheists appear in their place who are ap- pT) eis ip Seles g are t rid of reference toa ¢ sand the of fear death if we have lived 35 good a life as ful cathedral" was in the old school book; in the new one it has only "a thriving trade in wines." "Robinson . Crusoe," that delight of fu good boys in all countries, might taint the atheistical purity of the French youth's mind, so Crusoe's praying is cut out and the conversion of the good man Friday is alto- gether extirpated. hh Still there are people who continue to insist that France is a Christian country. If it were, these practices could not be tolerated, for this Christian nation has had repeated opportunities by the exercise of the suffrage to sweep out of power the fanatics who ban- ish religions conceptions. They will proba- bly do in May what they have done at each successive election--increase the power of socialism and atheism. Beautiful Place Must Be Sold.

The Millbank estate, originally the garden of Peterborough House, occupies the angle situated between Horse ferry Road and the river.

Meetings are held weekly, under the presidency of the Duke when in town. Grosvenor House is a palace rather than a private mansion, and was originally built for George II's bmother, the Duke of Gloucester, who sold it to Richard, Earl of Grosvenor, thrice winner of the Derby, from whom it descended to the present 'dake. It is a stately edifice, of classic architecture, which should be situated ih seme ancestral park, instead of in the congested metropolitan district at the back of Park Lane. The great courtyard is screened by a marble colonnade, terminated at either end by an arched gate- way.

Paradise For Bashful Lovers. The marriage market held at Ecussines, in. Belgium, has many counterparts elsewhere. In several of the more remote Swiss cantons, for example, there is held what is called the Feast of the Garlands. The marriageable maidens assemble at sunset, sing, dance and make merry. Each wears a chaplet of flowets an her forehead and carries a nosegay, tied with a bright colored ribbon. If 3'ld is at- tracted by a maid he plucks a flower from her bunch. She pretends not to notice, but 'when the merry-making breaks up at dawn she. will, if she reciprocates his feelings, tie the entire | bouquet by 'a ribbon to the handle of the cabin wherein he resides. +} The fanv>usiTunis marriage mart, of which much has been written, is held twice a year, in the spring and in the aut#mn, The Tunis- fan girls attend by the hundreds, each with her dowry in coin and jewelry disposed about her person. The "golden girdle of maiden- hood" encircles her waist, and holds an un- sheathed dagger. When the dagger is gently removed by a passing gallant and presently returned, it means that a proposal has been made. A prettier custom prevails among the Owraon' maids, who, at stated intervals, as- semble in the market place. Tn front of each is a lighted lamp, an emblem of conjugal fidelity. A young man feels attracted and gently blows upon the flame, extinguishing it. When the girl relights it, it is a rejection; if she allows the lamp to go unlighted, how- ever, the suitor is acceptable. Good' Influence in Recent Elections. The women of Montreal can claim much of the credit of a very marked reform. There has never been a municipal campaign in Montreal in which the societies of women have played such an active part as that which closed with the election of a Board of Centml and the entire rout of the crowd of aldermen who held sway at the City Hall for a great many years. The Local Council of Women, headed by Miss Dr. Ritchie-England, and as- sisted by professors of McGill University, carried out a most aggressive campaign in support of the Citizens' League. They had a number of committees to attend not only v3 the distribution of litetature and postal cards, but also for a personal canvass of all women who had a right to vote municipally. Their work bore the best possible results everywhere they went, and the number of women voters to go to the polls was by far the largest in the history of Montreal.
