Dr. ALEXANDER HETHERWICK, C.B.E., D.D. :
' My Forty-five Years in Central Africa.'
S.B. from Aberdeen
WHEN Dr. Hetherwick started work as a Church of Scotland missionary in Central
Africa in 1883, he found the country very different from what it is today. The change is well illustrated by the fact that on the spot where he once watched a fierce battle between the Angeni and the Yao, the Sports Ground at Zomba now stands. Amongst his own exploits which contributed largely to the change, it may be mentioned that he handed out the first ten seeds from which the "most profitable agricultural industry in the country has now grown up. When he left Africa he was Moderator of the Central African Church with a native membership 40,000 strong.
