THURSDAY, JULY 7th, 1932 THE HAILEYBURIAN Great Progress is Being Made in African Mission Miss Annie Bradley, Home on Furlough, Speaks in Glow- ing Terms of Work That really wonderful progress is being made in the mission work of the United Church in Portugese West Africa is the claim of Miss Annie Bradley, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Bradley, Russell Street, Hailey- bury, who arrived home on a year's furlough late last week. Miss Bradley has spent the past five years in the mission service, leaving home in 1927 to take up her chosen vocation after several years as a public school teacher in this district. The first year she spent in Portugal, acquiring the language, before going to Africa to the mission station. The scene of Miss ~ Bradley's labors is the Chissamba Mission Station in the colony of Angola. It is situated 600 miles inland from the port of Lobito, one of the chief cities of the colony. The inhabitants are Negroes o the Ovimbundu tribe, quite black in coler, but very apt pupils in learning the ways of the white man and having a great rever- ence and love for those who are carrying on the missionary work. Miss Bradley's part of the work consists in the organization and superintendence of kindergarten schools where the little natives are taught the rudiments of edu- cation, both religious and in the way of general knowledge. The teaching is all done in the Portu- gese language and the teachers acquire a knowledge of the native language as well, which, accord- ing to Miss Bradley is not easy to learn, although phonetic. The missionaries have progressed so far, however, that they have re- duced it to writing. Miss Bradley is very plainly imbued with the spirit of service and enthusiasm for the work of teaching the primitive people in that country. She has nothing but good words for the natives, ¢an vision the whole colony be- coming civilized and learning the gospel in time and has firm faith in the future of Christianity in that far clime. In an interview at her home this week Miss Bradley described to The Haileyburian something of the country in which she has worked for the past four years. The chief industry in the section where she is stationed is agricul- ture, the distance from the equa- tor south is 12 degrees and, while it is tropical, the heat is not so intense as nearer the coast. The station itself is 5,000 feet above sea level and the climate is toler- able. While there is plenty of wild country, and the missionar- ies see the odd leopard and some- times hear the lions roar, there is little or no danger from wild animals Miss Bradlev says. There are about 50 English- speaking people in the district, but only six at the station of Chissamba. The United Church missionaries work to some extent in conjunction with those of the Congregational Church of the United States and the two com- prise practically all the mission work that is being done in the colony. On her trip home Miss Bradley spent three months and one day, taking the longer route around the south coast of Africa and the Cape of Good Hope, then up the east coast and through the Suez Canal and the Mediterranean, landing at Southampton, Eng- land. Stops were made at sev- eral points, among them the most southerly and _ northerly points on the African continent. It was a grand trip, Miss Brad- ley says, and she thoroughly en- joyed it. Ever the volcanoes on the islands off the coast of Italy were obliging enough to stage a demonstration as the ship was passing. In every port, however, the depression was all too appar- ent, according to the traveller. Miss Bradley has a year to spend in the western world be- fore returning to Africa. Three months of*this is purely a holi- day, six months must be spent in further preparation for her work among the natives, and the bal- ance will be taken up in visits to different points in the interests of the missionary work of the Church, with a view to making more generally known the ob- jects which the Church has in view and the importance of the work in that particular field: TWO MORE ARE HELD AT COCHRANE Slaying of Settler Still a Mystery Porcupine Youths Detained Probe Continues Two young men from Porcu- pine, both of whom said to, have been armed with revolvers when picked up by the police, are be- ing held by the authorities as in- vestigation proceeds into the death of Efstafie Tichinoff, eld- erly settler of Lamarche Town- ship, who was brought back to his!) own farmyard dead in his wagon late on Tuesday night, June 28. Their names are being withheld by the police meantime, although it is stated they are aged 21 and 18 years with their home in Timmins. They were lo- cated at Kapuskasing by Pro- vincial police officers, and it is said they had been moving about the district. The detention of this pair in- creases the number of persons held to three. That the latter phase of Miss Bradley's work at home will prove profitable can be easily seen from her own enthusiasm for the cause and her clear and comprehensive description of what is being done.
