EY do not play, nor smile, nor sing.

No toys, dolls, or building blocks,

no pretty little dishes, no go-caris,

drums or guns bring joy to t/leir young lives --these pitiable cliildrell of darkest A/rico.

Born in the dark depths of the forest or

on the sun-scorched plain, the jwveniles of the jungle .know nothing of childhood's joys.

They grow ui, poor little solemwfaced piclc- aninnies, in t e fear of strange and horrible gods.

In parts of Africa parents take their chil-

dren before the shrines of 'weird and terrible deities and lash their backs with zullips. If the tortured ones -wince or cry ont, it is in- terpreted as a sign of disloylllty to the god, and the children are, in mil/ty instances, hor- ribly mutilated.

Should they bccolne sick--and all chil-

dren at times get si¢'l<»-i-it's not castor oil or cough medicine for those little /elloufs. /I witch doctor comes along and makes it /onl, nauseating compound, and performs terrify- ing rites with strange incanialions.

ls there wonder that sllclt cllilllren grow

u to become safvagrsl? ls there ':vondt'r that éhristian missionaries ha1'e trouble in concert- ing them-when the children are ill~treated, frightened and taught that theft is an honest profession? Not only is childhood joyless, but it is brief-the little ones are made to labor almost as soon as they can milk.

ECENTLY lt missionary, the Rev. Karl \V. Kumm.

R visited America. Ileioro hundreds ot pooplc in

all parts oi' the country he told ni the unbcilev- able conditions existing in the Snuxlan. told how children wore killed to appease tha heathen gods, of littlc Ones put to hard labor

in thc fields, of children sold into slavery or captured by Mohnmmerltln Arabs.

By no menns has the light uf Christianity flooded

inmost Africa; cannibalism by no means hlis disap- peared. Livery your thousands of blacks are sold into slavory, anion: thom many chlldrcn.

Girls are marricd, or sold into marriage, at the

age ot ll years, and when 10 or ll! are claimed by their masters.

There are no childhood guinea, no toys, no mirth.

Rather. the children are rogarded ns cattle, ot so much value in beads and shells. Thcy urv lol-\§i\¢ B °~¢l"`|U|° bullet ln the terrlblu gods. To rcnlliln in favor ol the deities there must bs socrlilce, and children are oiton Iacriiiced.

Have you over rand ot clllltlhond in the jungle? Oi!

how tho toddling darkies in Africa uro roared? No?

NO HALO OF ROMANCE

Porhsps the reason that tho story ot childhood has

nevor boon written is bccnuso ot thc lack ot childish romanco. Undoubtedly we D1@“F\1f€°l0V|"E P°°Di° Uf an educated country like to road of liupmt Childflmi We like to hear' childish lnughtcr; wo are prone to closo

ot mud and bamboo poles there is heard n olllilli- Then there is a cry and a jahbcr of tongues like to noth|n3 but the caucus ot monkeys in coconnul trees.

Grandmothers, uncles and aunts iili tho hut. They

child and looks into its screwed-up tiny blazk tai: d

Then, as the others shout and shake t elr n s.

the grandmother suddenly plunges the child into A tub ot cold water. Thcro is' a wall~it seams as it thc tiny mite had burst its lungs.
