PRESBYTERIAN OF THE SOU1 THE AFRICAN QUEEN BUILT THE CHAPEL. The Moravian publishes an interesting account, translated from one of its missionary periodicals, of a visit paid by one of the missionaries of that Church to the queen of the Province of Uganda. Says the account: "Hitherto the potentate had not been well disposed towards the mission. Bro. Brauer had had a good deal to suffer from direct attacks and insinuations on the part of her advisers. This made the work more difficult at his station, and also in the immediate neighborhood, especially as many of the people showed a lack of sincerity. Later on, however, her majesty became quieter. There was also a good deal of work being done in the residential village, for the queen was having a two-storied house built for herself. For this reason there was a cessation of the hidden attacks of her advisers. "When Bro. Brauer came to think over the situation he found that the cause of the princess' behavior was probably the belief on her part that the missionaries were not paying due respect to i-er posi tion. She may have got this notion in mc moi piate iruiu me raci mat so iar no leading missionary from Ipole had been to see her. True, the station is situated from five to six hours' journey from her residence,, so that a visit there would have taken up a good deal of time; but all the same it was evidently a mistake that no one had visited her. In the second place, when Ipole was being started as a mission station, a good many foreigners, so to speak, had come along, people from Urambo, and these had erected a regular fortification round the station. Besides which the place had only been occupied by one missionary couple, and they had been so fully occupied with the Urambo people that they had not been able to pay much attention to the native Ugunda folk. For these reasons, possibly, the idea had got abroad that the missionaries did not re npcti uvr majesty. "Accordingly, Bro. Brauer set out to pay her a visit. Two messengers were sent ahead to give notice of his coming, whilst others went before him with a present (an ox and a calf). At 6:30 on the morning of June 16 the missionary set out. A few people carried his tent, the beds and some pillows, also cooking utensils, etc., and provisions. For the most part the road took them through "pori," or sparsely wooded country. They passed only two native villages en route. Half an hour's journey from the residence they struck the government high road leading from Tabora to Bisraarksburg. Here they came across the first of the queen's scouts, who, after delivering himself of a short military rrMtlnr l"V?mhn hwano'M nntolrlv Ata. appeared again, in order to anounce to bis mistress the approach of the European. Whilst still some distance away from the residence, the travelers could hear the big drum. The queen's subjects took PH. August 25, 1909. up their places on both sides of the road, forming a double line, which it took ten minutes to pass. Down this line the saltana herself came to meet the missionary. However, she did not come on foot, for she is very stout. She came riding on the shoulders of a big strong man! By her side trnttert n ?*>? . vant, whose duty it was to keep the rays of the sun off her majesty by means of a perfect monster of an umbrella. From time to time he would pass the umbrella right over her head, and again he would give her a blow with it in the back of her neck; he even managed once to knock her turban off her head! But all this apparently did not disturb the equilibrium of anybody, for they all remained as solemn as could be. "the greeting extended to the visitor by the queen was of the heartiest. 'She rode in front of me,' continues the missionary, 'into the residence on the shoulders of her two-legged steed, and I had to set up a bit of a run in order to keep up with them. In the large reception room of the palace another cordial welcome was extended to me, and I was introduced to all the great people and the royal councillors as 'Bwana magisi' fMr VI or n, 1 * x..... 1..CX uiauci ; anu a greai iriena of the queen's. " 'Then I was requested to take my seat next to her on a capacious stool, whereupon I commenced to explain to her my reason for coming to see her, which was that 1 wanted to pay the princess a visit in her own residence, since no other European had so far come to pay his respects to her. Thereupon she tapped me on the knee and told me how pleased she was to see me, for she had not liked it that hitherto no Ipole missionary had been to see her. To which I replied that in future this would be done by every missionary who came to live in her country. This again gave her an opportunity of expressing her pleasure. " 'I arrived at a quarter to one o'clock, and she kept me there until a quarter to three. Then I asked to be allowed to present to her my gift?an ox and a calf from the mission station, and, from my wife and myself, twenty rupees id return for an ox which she had sent us when our little girl was born. It seemed odd to me as a stranger that, as often as the queen went out and returned to her place again, all the chiefs and councillors in the apartment rose to their feet and, on her reappearance, 'clapped their hands three times and greeted her with the word, 'Kashinde.' This was repeated several times. Imagine sixty or eighty people clapping loud ly with their hands each time!
