Traveling ln the "Land of Darkness," the Soudan, ls not tho most comfortable thing ln the world. Dr. Derr started on hls trlp August 15, with more than u. half dozen attendants, u. number of whom deserted hlm on his jour- ney. ‘ Provisions werc carried ln boxes whlch the negrocs bore on their heads. Thus the journey was made-for three days a weary tramp through lund covered with grass whlch cxcccdcd B. man ln height. Much of the land was mnrslg und soggy, und lt. was with dlfllculty that progress w made. Dr. Derr arrived at Suntal August 18. Thls ls the place where, soino years before, Captain Parker was met hy sponr polntg when hc dismounted from lils horse. “Thu chlcf of'Suntol," wrltcs Dr. Derr, "had heard of my medlt,-ul work, und hc gave me a cortllal welcome. 'l`ha chief is u pngun. Ho seemed pleased that I vlslted hlm, but did not understand what could be done wlth tha materials ln my medical case." \Vhat Dr. Derr dld umnzcd the old negro, Immedi- ately on hls nrrlvol the doctor went among the people. Scores lily sick with fever, some with llmhs swollen by el-qihantliisls; others snffcrlng from golter or leprosy.

The mysteries of the revolver, as explulned by Dr. Derr to the old chief, filled hlm wlth wonder at the ln- gcnnlty of the whlte man. \Vhlle wolklng wlth thc chief along the Suntal rlver one ovenlng.

Ho cured one old chief, who wus so overjoyed thut ho nccopled Chrlstlunlty. "Tho medlonl mission," wrote Dr. Derr, "ns nn accus- sory to preaching the gospel, uscd as :\ me-uns of gufnlng tho love and conlldenco of the pcoplc, has provcd a suc- cess ln most flolds. It shows the people in a tangible form that Chrlstlnnlty ptanrls for lovo, good works and the rellof of suffering.

L ' /)Qr/‘/Ire Of'm'f»so'!‘/if Dr, Derr spent several duys ut. Suntul, during tho tlmo dressing tho wounds of injured nullvcs and admlnlstcrfnB mcdlclfm to thc sick. On thc night of tho harvest fcstl- vnl he sat wlthout the tent of tho chlef. '_ "Tho moon wus shining ln tho clcor sky," hc wrltes, “and the pulm lrce gt-ntly stirred. As we sat thorc mcm- bcrs of thc trlbc uppi-nrod, ull drcsscd ln whltc, carrylng thc- strongest lnstrnmonts. Thcro were horns. inudo of clcphunls' tusks, which gave forth the weirdest, most plcroiiig sounds; and strongo, blubberlng drums madc of skins. "Then the nntlvc orchostra played. Ono could hardll’ lmnglne n marc wolrd scone-the moon shlnlng so pallldly, and the slraniro muslcluns prmluclng unourthly nolscs. That nlght I talked to the nallvcs about Christ, nnd they were dccply impressed. \Vhon I arose, the vhlcf took my hund. Ho was tlcaply stirred," _ Ono night Dr. Derr and the chlof took a walk H110 tho forcst. “I pointed out tho stnrs to hlm and showed hlm the Milky Way. I oxplnlncd tha movement nl the earth about tho sun and tho moon about the earth. Then I told him of tho majesty and splendor of God's unlverso and the love and greatness of the Dlvlne One. Slttlng under thu lctol trees that nlght I told hlm more of Jesus." And so Dr. Derr continued his work, medical and re- llglous. Ho cured many and converted B number, among them the old chlsf. Pursuing his way through the grassy swamps, Dr. Derr and hls party reached Jnfung, where he hoard of a pagan tribe near Gongomo. These people, he was told, were warllks and fierce, and were dreaded by the other nntlvcs. The Mohummcdan mlsslonarles, who are active ln the Soudon, feared to go to thcm. After treotlng the slck at Jafung, Dr. Derr went on to Bakundi, a large town, whlch ls prlnclpally Mohammednn. ln the center of Africa, Dr. Derr polnts out, the nn.- tlves do not live ln caves or lsoluted cohlns ln tho jungles, as many persons suppose. but in towns. Bukundl ls one of the largest. These vllluges arc much thc snmef Tha houses certainly do not resomblo the comfortable dwell- lngs of America. The homes of the nutlves are bullt of grass, tho roof, whlch ls cons shaped, resting on heavy props. Very llttle clothing ls worn, the garments consist- lng of llght wrapplngs worn about the walst. or flung over the shouldcr. , GRATEFUL FOR ATTENTIONS ncré Dr. Derr vlslted the blacksmith, tha weaver and the school. "This was tho tlrst time I saw a Mohamme- dan school ln session," he wrltes, "and lt was vcry plc- turesquc. The little boys were slttfng on the ground shouting tho Koran from wooden tablets. These were held by the handle, und looked like shovels." From Bakundl Dr. Derr continued his journey, cross- fng the mountains. Hare, for the flrst time slnce he took up his work ln that reglon, he was able to drlnk pure sprlng water. In the mountains the alr was frcrli and pure, the scenery splendid. Passing down the mount_u.ins on tho other sldc, ho arrived on Soptomber 8 at Klngana, a large town, and practically the key to the region ha- yond. On the 0th he treated twenty patients. That night the chief visited hlm and told hlm the town was hls. When preparing to go farther inland soma of Dr. Derr's laborers ran away from hlm and ha was left stranded. He continued hls work, taking journeys by day and trcatlng the slck. Near Klngnna he treated nn- tlvcs who had ncver sccn a whlte man. Instead of op- posing hlm, thc natives root-lved his attentions with grat- itude, und Dr. Derr was so elated he made plans for the establlshmcnt of a. stullon. On hls return to Dongs Dr. Derr continued his work, leaving behind hlm hundreds of patients who had been started on the road to recovery. At. flrst, be says, ho found dlfllculty ln gottlng the natlves to let hlm treat thcm, their fulth ln the nntlve witch doctor having been lmpllclt, dcsplte tho failure to cure. One old woman recently came to hlm for treatment. For three years she had suffered from ulcers. The only treatment sho had received was applications of flrc. In- vcstlgallon showed that her llgumcnts had been sloughed lnto shreds. Although the natives, after soclng u cure, regard a physlclan ns a god possessed wlth supernatural powers, they show llltlo fiilth ln his mcdlclnos at first.. Dr. Derr writes as follows: DIFFICULTIES BESET DOCTORS "Fear on the part of thc nallvc, indifference and lack of falth in the white man's medlcino rclard the work\nt flrst. A short tlmo after I camo to Dongs. four men got injections for a. blond dlsrnse. I had lt carefully er.- plulncd to them that they could not be cured lmmedlately, but would have to como once a wcok for treatment. Two came for a second lnjectlon. and one of these nuver camo for n third. The one who has received regular treatment now shows decided evldance of Improvement, and also seems quita grateful. A boy was brought to me with large patches of chronic yuws on his shoulder, cheat and lsg. I{a was h pltlful spectacle, and hls expression was that of ons rcslgned to hl:i fate. I cleaned up the sores and applied ointment, but ho ncvor camo ugaln. "From nll nc<§ints, spectacular operutlons are thoss that make tho lmpresslon on the mlsslon fleld; but for myself I do not consldor lt wlsc to undertake such wlth- out an asslstant who ls ublr- to ndmlnlstsr nn anesthetic, and wlthuut. hotter moons of curing for the patient than cxlsr now. Up to the pres(-nt. I have been wllhout nomo of my most needed drugs, nwlng to tho fact that my station :_-host hos not yet arrived from lbl." Many, of course, nro tho humorous experiences of it physlclnn. Some months ago the ohlof nt Donga scnt for Dr. Derr and Asked for whisky for his sore leg. "l hud a note from Mr. llerkelcy saying that his maj- csty had a sora leg. and had expressed n. desire that l should nxamlne lt," 'writes Dr. Derr. “He told me pri- vately, huwevor, that he thougnt lt was whisky he really wanted. I thought this not unilkely. Putting a box of mustard leaves and a bandase ln my Docket. I proceeded to the klng's house. where I was cordially received. H1 looked quite wholesome, except for his dull eyes. and I could dlstlngulsh no llmp ln his walk. After prnllmlnnrj ealutatlons, I proceeded to lnvestlgato the ‘l6g,’ obtalnfnl n hlllory of on enlarged ankle somewhere ln the dlm Dall. Thfs, he told mo, had yielded most remarkably to whisky, also that lt hurt hlm now from tlme to time, and lt rsn qulrsd more whisky to ease lt. "l informed hlm that my plaster was much better for his foot than whisky; and, after ordering soma wltbr, applied it and fastened lt. on tight with a bandage. gfvfal hlm lnstructlons not to remove lt untll lt had burned I. long tlma. I learned afterward thot. the plutor did lf-I work welll He asked for no more whisky." Dr. Derr has been working in the Eoudnn about I year. Among tho natives whom he has vlsltod ara tbl Munchf people. who are extremely sn'/ago. They uns I peculiar polson on the tlps of thelr arrows, whlch ls fltnl. Tha antidote ls known only to the Munchl people thsmc selves. How important ls medlcal work ln thls section of A21 rica one who has not visited the country cannot. raallle. Innumcrnble diseases prevail, and Dr. Don-'s days are full of work. He has had to treat patlcnta who sulerod from the sleeping sickness-that. fatal dlseaso to which thou- sands of natives have succumbed. Mohammedunlsm has been sweeping over ths Sou' dan, and Christian missionaries are now plttlng thsfr strength against the spread. The Boudnn comprllos an area equal to about twn»lhlrds that 01' the Unltod Stltol without. Alaska. and comprises about tan kingdoms, under Brltlsh, I-‘rcnch and G_erman control. There are about 100 dlatlnct free heathen tribes, wlth a population of from 60,000,000 to 80,000,000. The medical mission. it is said, la the strongest wslpol ugnlnst tho spread of Islamlsrn.
