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

like to hear' childish lnughtcr; wo are prone to closo
our cycs upon all that ls not colored with the r_osy
halo ot the tulry tain. -
But let us take a. trip to Atrlca.
A baby has been born. lnsldc thc low, smoky hut
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
gh,-wk and ¢|smgr in gutturals. The old grandmother
ot the newly arrlvcd babe oiilcistca. Her dark, with-
ered face. as black as ebony and as withered as sn
aged apple, mnkcs horrible grlmucos as she tskcs the
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. Shivcrlng and wnithlnm It
ls taken tram tho water and douscd withvpo\\-der of
the red dyewood tree. This is an astringentyanti oun-

Then comes the must inmortsnl duly. U18 HDDMIIHB
of the gods. Amulets arc brought out and fustonod
about ths baby's ncclt. Fotlchss are tied about the
