The Scottish explorer Cameron, who recently returned from the heart of Africa, has created a good deal of enmity and disgust among " apostolic circles " in England, by declaring that the average British missionary is a fraud of the first water. " Most of them," he says, " are unfit for their work and despised by the heathen. They go to Africa, draw large salaries, live comfortably, drink their champagne, and then in a couple of years come back to tell dreadful tales of the hardships they have suffered !"
The sum of the whole matter is that semi-Presbyterian and semi-Scotch Ulster is fully three times more immoral than -wholly Popish and -wholly Irish Connaught — which corresponds with wonderful accuracy to the more general fact that Scotland, as a whole, is three times more immoral than Ireland as a -whole.— ' Scotsman/ Edinburgh.
