“The greatest,, privilege in. Life'.'is
Sharing.” So said MisS Hood, return
ed missionary from Nigeria, West Af
rica, in her address here ^upday morn
ing when she addressed the. Gorrie
United congregation and the members
of the W.M.S. and Evening Auxiliary.
Basing her talk on St. Mark 6: 34, she
stated that over one million people of
Nigeria o-ut of a population of 21 mil
lion have yet to hear of Christ and his
teachings^ With only 500 missionaries
to do this tremendous task, one to al
most 22,000; with some 250 tribes,
each with their own dialect, adds to
the great problem. Miss Hood spoke
of the climate, only having a dry and
wet season. The latter is heralded us
ually by a tornado. There are no rural
districts, all living in towns or vill
ages. This vast country has two class
es of people, the Pagan and Moham
medan, the latter praying five times
daily. Tribal wars have ceased, this
being one of the many changes seen ip
Nigeria. When(Miss Hood went to Ni
geria some 19 years ago, there was no
such thing as bicycles, however in 1939
some 20,000 were sold, radios are be

foe results of missionary work, and
Only one missionary every 40 miles.
The building of churches (which are
filled), schools, dispensary, are»all evi-
. .(jence of the remarkable change since
the native has seen the Light of God.
The town, Sharii, where the speaker
was stationed, has two churches now,
and the clinic can take as many as 150
women. This is entirely a new thing
for the women, as they were almost
outcasts, there. Miss Hood at present

hopes to return to her post this. year.

many aches and pains. And that is
just how Kruschen Salts brings
