The centenary of David Liv
ingstone's birth will be observed
with appropriate ceremonies at
one of the churches Sunday,
March 16th. David Livingstone
was one of the greatest men who
ever lived. He was a scholar,
physician, missionary, traveler,
explorer, geographer, botanist, all
in one. He introduced the Dark
Continent' To the -world. He
placed Africa in a position of
impregnable prominence from
which it can never be dislodged.
Every boy should read the life of
such a man.; There is more fo
manc in such a volume than any
work of fiction; more heroism
than: in the life of half a dozen
average heroes. Not to know
Livingstone is to miss one of, the
greatest pleasures in life. Every
man who knows anything of him
rejoices to know that such men
have lived, that they can be pro
duced. He was the honored
guest, of the nobility of England,
but he never forgot that his mis-!
sion was permanently among the
lowly. :' He lies in Westminster
Abbey among the illustrious dead
of the British Empire. ; -
