A PEACEFUL INVASION.

could begin our work whenever we chose. The 
native Christians who were with us then held 
** palaver " with the same chiefs. They told them 
about the Germans who were going to take posses- 
sion of their town, adding, **Them German no 
love black man, he flog him too much.'* They also 
said that they had made their minds up to follow 
the mission wherever it settled, even though they 
lost their farms, for the Bread of Life was more 
important than yams and plantain and cassava- 
food for the body. Would they therefore sell them 
some land where they could build themselves 
houses and live amongst them peacefully as 
friends ? 
It was not settled so quickly, or easily, as I set 
it down, but in the end an agreement was reached, 
and Afaha Eduok (the native name of the town) 
has become a mission town, where the Sabbath is 
strictly kept, and the people delight to attend God's 
house. Only about a mile away stands the Oron 
Training Institute that every Sunday School and 
C.E. Society has heard so much about.
