Our readers have already been informed of the death of Rev. K. M. Kemp of the Mendi Mission, and it now becomes our painful duty to chronicle the death of his beloved wife. The latest advices inform us that their deaths were neither of them due wholly to the climate. Mrs. Kemp was a brave, true woman, whose life and example will not soon be forgotten in the field where so many had already learned to love her.
By the time this reaches our readers, Superintendent Ladd and Dr. Snow will be well on their way toward the Arthington Mission. It is their purpose to push directly for the region of the Sobat in the heart of Central Africa, with the view of locating the new mission. It will give us pleasure to keep the public informed of the movements of their expedition in this interesting portion of Africa. Two missionaries are under appointment to occupy this field at the call of the Superintendent.
