Sharing the Gospel-4
' By Social and Industrial Work '
By the Rev. EDWARD SHILLITO , Literary Superintendent of the London Missionary Society
The need for social and industrial work to be carried on as a part of modern missionary work is particularly emphasised in such areas as that of the rapidly developing Copper Belt in Central Africa. Here modem industrial plant and conditions are profoundly affecting the lives of the Africans over a large area. Mr. Shillito mentions in his talk that a friend of his travelling through the bush suddenly came at N'Kana on a modem plant in the midst of which was being erected a chimney which was to be the second highest in (he world. How more strikingly could the sudden change and the urgent need be exemplified ?

C. STANLEY EKE HERBERT NOYES
BERNARD MARTIN
There is a theme underlying and connecting these three talks this evening : a theme of ways of living. The Maori, the Chinese-and the White Ant.
Among the Afaoris
C. Stanley Eke, who won fame in the Rolling Stone series, is to disillusion those listeners who think of the Maoris as uncivilised. He lived among them in the village of Whangape in Northern Hokianga, New Zealand-a village of huts on the bank of a river. He watched them diving for ' sea-eggs ' and ate them with them. He went
' stingaree ' hunting with them at night. He was a witness of one of their most attractive characteristics. If one of them has grown more vegetables than the rest, he shares them round, or at any rate has no objection to the others taking them. They kiss with their noses and do other curious things-not that their customs are in the least curious to themselves.
Armies of Ants
Then Major Herbert Noyes is to talk of the way of living of the Termite, or white ant of Africa. It may be the enemy of man, but it is marvellously civilised. So clever that when it discovered that man destroyed its cathedral-like ant-heaps, it ceased to build them, and carried on underground. Railway sleepers, fencing posts, and wooden buildings are its food. A tiny, unprotected little creature, it works in vast armies. It is blind, organised, disciplined, and labours unceasingly for the good of the community. The Guardian Spirit of the Termites plays an absorbing part in Major Noyes's talk. Houses of the Dead
Lastly, Bernard Martin is to tell listeners of a people who are not depressed but attracted by death. The dead in their coffins are kept by the Chinese for as long as three years before burial. Quarters in the House of the Dead are rented at so much a month, and the deceased's furniture goes with him. And finally he is buried where he lived and worked-out in the fields if he was a farmer, his tomb surrounded by a wall to keep off the wind from the departed.

An Appeal on behalf of THE SEAMEN'S HOSPITAL SOCIETY by The Rt. Hon.
Lord LLOYD OF DOLOBRAN, G.C.S.I.,
G.C.I.E., D.S.O.
The Charter of the Seamen's Hospital Society provides that treatment may not be refused to any seaman, whatever his class, creed, or colour. It was at the Royal Albert Dock Hospital that the Society first inaugurated a tropical section, for the purpose of both treatment and teaching, which is now yet another of the Society's branches-the Hospital for Tropical Diseases in London.
For forty-five years the Albert Dock Hospital has served an ever-growing need in London's dockland, and in the past few years it has become apparent that it is literally falling down. A new building is a matter of the greatest urgency, and it is estimated that an adequate structure, properly equipped, will cost about £65,000. The Port of London Authority has generously promised £25,000. There still remains to be collected an additional £40,000.
