IN WESTERN AFRICA.

GOOD NEWS FROM AFRICA. 
Mr. Wilberforce and wife landed in Freetown, 
West Africa, December 17th, after a voyage of 
forty days from New York. They suftered but 
little with sea-sickness, and were in good health 
and spirits when they landed. Mr. and Mrs. Go- 
mer, who had been in Freetown several days 
awaiting their arrival, accompanied them to Shen- 
gay on the 23d. Mr. Gomer says of the condition 
of the work : 
In all of our stations where we have held meet- 
ings or taught school — Otterbein excepted — the 
hand of God has been manifest. Meetings have 
been held every Sabbath, with few exceptions, at 
Shooney, Senehoo, Kattah, and Tissannah, vil- 
lages near Shengay, and at Thumbah, Bendoo, 
Bonthe, Tiama, and Manoh, also at Senehoo, 
Bowmah, and Tissannah, near Bomphetook. Bro. 
Hero has held meetings occasionally at Martin, 
Moyah, and Mo Carmo, near Mambo. 
At Shengay the meetings have not been as well 
attended as we could wish ; yet there has been a 
good interest in the seekers’ meeting, held Sunday 
morning at six o’clock. Fourteen from it have 
been received into the Church, nine of whom 
were mission-boys. There are still twenty-three 
names on the seekers’ class-book. The average 
attendance at the Sunday-school is about seventy,.
