Life In South Africa.

A clergyman's wife now in the Transvaal writes this: “It seems strange to think of what is going on in this bustling city of 40,000 people (Johannesburg), where five years ago were only a few scattered farm.houses. To-night there are fourteen prayermeetings in various churches, five or six missionary meetings, a Congregational bazaars, a grand temperance rally, Lenten services in the High Church and' Catholic Cathedral, a. skating rink entertainment at which one of the novelties will be a race between native boys who. never put on skaXes before, a rendering of Passion music in Music Hall, the Jubilee Singers’ concert 1 and many theatriaal performances.”
