LANTERN LECTURE
A New Zealander, Mr. E. J. Salisbury, who has been seven years in the Luanza mission field, Central Africa, gave a very interesting and instru'ctive address on mission work in that locality in the Foresters' Hall, Napier, • on Monday4, evening. . The title of the lecture, "In the Footsteps of Dan Crawford," was a tribute to the founder of the Luanza Mission Hospital, who went out to Africa in 1881 to take up mission work and who had not only done noble missionary work in the vast field of the Belgian Congo, in whieh thore was a population of some 12,000,000 people. He had also succeeded in the arduous task of trans* lating the Biblc into tho native tongue. The graphic and l'orceful style of the speaker gave an absorbing interest to tho address, and this was greatly assisted by a very fine series of lantern slides depicting native life and customs in Central Africa. At the conclusion of the lceture, the speaker was aecorded a vote of 'thanka.
