Show Sir Samuel Baker, who U deservedly deserv-edly honored by the English nation as a gentleman of reliability, and an African traveler, has very little hopes of suddenly converting the heathen in sunny regions to Christianity. He says that tho Mohammedans quote the Mosaic law and the Koran and beat the Christians in the argument upon slavery. Sir Samuel has no faith whatever what-ever in missionaries, but has unbounded un-bounded confidence in material movements and progress. He believes that "the sig'at of a steamer on the Albert Nyanza would do more good than the preaching of the'tntire missionary mis-sionary society." We are much afraid that Sir Samuel Baker, and the excellent ex-cellent wile who accompanied him, through all his travels in Africa, will not improve tho donations of flannel garments fr "A frig's sunny shores." |
