• educate himself for the work of l''"ril 'teacher, whilst Gina had' already been two • years at the college preparing for the Ministry. Kera, who evidently possesses a. strong vein of humor, gave \a graphic description in his own langune of the conditions''before the missionary arrived, and the results of the missionaries’ work, the Rev. Goldie interpreting for him. Gina, \yho possesses a very sweet tenor voice, sang a couple of sacred solos, and also gave items in what he called his Baby Austin, Chrysler and Motor Lorry, which proved to be a very miniature mouth organ, a larger one, and a cornet. After the meeting the ladies of the church provided refreshments and the congregation were thus enabled to meet personally with the visitors.
