C.M.S., DIOCESE OF S. SUDAN, AFRICA.

A trial on a much larger scale m the Southern Sudan, organised by Dr. Atkey, has had the remarkable result that 4800 patients moved with their families to agricultural colonies with thirty square miles of land; 2240 were freed from symptoms within under two years, and the present medical administrative officer assured us not long ago that he believed the disease would be reduced to small proportions within a decade.'' We recommend the whole September number of the "Mission Hosspital" for valuable information of worldwide developments m this campaign. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS? Two magnificent temples, one costing at least £50,000, the other possibly £160,000, are to be built m

London for worshippers of Brahma and of Mahomet. Idols of the Hindu gods, Brahma, Siva and Bishnu, all of solid gold,, will" be part- of the costly equipment for the temple to be built at Notting Hill, London — the first of its kind m Europe. The cost is being borne by the Maharajah of Agartala. Plans are now ready, and the foundation stone will 'be laid when the Maharajah visits England during the coronation. The temple has been designed by a well-known Indian architect, and will be an orthodox edifice m the Indian traditional style, with lofty, tapered towers and "onions-shaped domes. It is to be as near as possible a replica of the famous temple m India. British materials will be used and British labour will be employed.— Cable to "Hawera Star."
