It is announced, however, that the missions will be in no sense proselytising agencies. Their object will be simply to of the Mussalman faith in the Central comfort, help, and deliver the existing members Flowery Lard. Apropos of this, a writer in one of the English December monthlies in an account of a visit to the French and English settlements on the west coast of Africa, testifies once more to the great work of civilies. missionaries are doing among the negroes in that tion and social elevation which the Mussulman region, corroborating fully what is said about their success among the natives of India.
