ning told to the Woman of the First Presbyterian church something of a woman filte am. ong the Attican tribes of the Anslo-Egyptian Sudan. Rev. Mr. MeGesthy served as educational missionary for more than two years in the Sudan and, based those years of contact, the said it ids his conviction that missionary work, the giving of Christiah light and freedom, is an essential part of the church if for no other reason than to wipe from the earth such things as the women's market that he saw in operation among native women during his period of service with the Africans.

Speaking of his work as it had to do with the women of the section he served, Rev. Mr. McGeachy as one trade a horse, cow said women over there are traded or sheep, that indeed a woman valued as high as a good cow is considered quite costly, and he told how the bartering is carried on through next of friend of boy and girl who meet. in a "Courting house" and arrive after much bickering at the basis of trade that will consummate the marriage of the boy and the girl interested. He told vividly of the "test by fire" that every grown girl of the tribes is subjected to before she may count herself worthy to be a woman and mother of the children of the tribal men.

The test involves the grasping of red hot metal and explained to Rev. Mr. McGeachy, after he had witnessed it, why SO women of the tribes have withered hands burned through in the test. Any girl who shows fear, pain or hysteria during the test is driven from the tribe into the jungle to become as a wild person. The marital status of women is hardly in the bracket of civilized life either.

All that is necessary for a divorce is the saying of the words "I divorce you," three times, the privilege of saying them belonging to the man only, no woman ever being permitted to seek divorce. Once a man has divorced a woman she has but one resortthe women's market where she ekes out a miserable and degarded livelihood by trading as she can, mostly herself, and where she becomes scarcely above an animal in time. The missionaries and religious teachers in Africa contend with Mohammedanism as well as pAganism and heathenism, the one being groat a barrier to Christian teaching as are the There a close tribal law and when a member of the tribe breaks this law in accepting some new idea. of belief foreign to the way's of the forefathers, the law of the tribe asserts itself in most extreme, penalty, death itself being the customary forfeit. In this connections Rev.

Mr. McGeachy told of young girl in mission school who accepted Christianity and went before the courts, the from trihal belief to Christianity, necessitating court examination under British law. An official of those courts said that the young girl's testimony and the way she passed the rigid examination of her faith was the most outstanding and perfect evidence of the courage and strength of true Christianity that he had ever seen. Members of that girl's tribe, however, sought to hold her to their own belief and finding they could not they took the blood oath among themselves to kill her by some means or other, the blood oath heing the most sacred and binding allegiance they can pledge among themselves. The girl, when Rev.

Mr. MoGeachy left Africa, was living under protection of Christian authorities with the threat of death hanging her all the time--and this girl's courage and faith, he offered as tian strong encouragement to Chris. women over here to continue their giving in the cause of gious freedom and light. The African people, Rev. Mr.

McGeachy found 10 be of high intelligence and eager to learnfield ripe with a harvest waiting, and he said that they more and more look to churches of America to send to them the mean. of learning and the ways of living that Christianity offers. Following Rev. Mr. MeGoachy's inlk 2411 offering WAS taken, the annual birthday gift which will go this year to African missons.
