Dr. Colledge’s Lecture Pleased. Wednesday afternoon’s lecture was delivered by Dr. William A. Colledge, a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society of London and associated for three years with Henry M. Stanley, the famous explorer, in his travels in Africa along the Zambesi river. Dr. Colledge spoke on “Tropical Africa.” His address was largely descriptive and he grew very enthusiastic as he dwelt on the industrial future of the continent with its great lakes and water falls and other natural resources in abundance. In introduction Dr. Colledge stated that he was with Henry M. Stanley for three years and he paid a veryhigh tribute to Mr. Stanley’s character and motives in exploring the great continent. He stated that Mr. Stanley mignt nave become immensely wealthy by the exploitation of some of the resources of the new country, but that he was contented with working for the opening up of the country and was satisfied with the financial returns from his writings and work on the lecture platform. Dr. Colledge also gave endorsement to the character and work of the missionaries whom he encountered during his stay in Africa, declaring that they were among the very highest types of man and womanhood. The main body of Dr. Colledge’s remarks were descriptive, dealing with the great lakes of Central Africa and the region along the Zembesi river and near the great Victoria falls. He declared that sooner or later the tremendous energy of these greatest tails in the world is bound to be utilized and that they will eventually be the center of a great industrial community. He described the dangers to be encountered in Africa thirty years ago when the country was in the “raw” state and when he was in charge of a station along the Zambesi river. He told of the customs of the natives, their industries and social relations, and the dangers of various kinds tiiat completely fill that region. Superintendent—George C. Reinfrank.
