d Ashes boy, as also Seruwanga, a tall fine fellow,a baptized lad whom Mufta (the leader of the hostile party) hadcaught, and Dutas wife, Sarah, and her child, to a place outsidethe capital ; that Seruwanga, Kakumba, and Ashes boy hadbeen tortured by having their arms cut off, and were then boundalive to a scaffolding, under which a fire was made, and theywere slowly burnt to death. Mufta and his men mocked them,and bade them pray now if Isa Masiya (Jesus Clirist) would rescuethem from his hands. The dear lads clung to the faith, and diedrather than deny their Lord and Master. So far from the progress of the work being stayed by thiscruel persecution, it went forward increasingly. So much so wasthis the case that on July 26, 1885, a congregation of one hundredand seventy-five souls were gathered together at the Mission forthe worship of God, and some thirty-five communicants partookof the Sacrament of the Lords Supper, so true is it that The blood of martyrs ia the seed of the Church.

-r.-ii : V BISHOP HANNINGTON, ETC. 9 CHAPTER III BISHOP HANNINGTON, ETC. (1885-1886) Lifes task well done,Lifes race well run.Lifes crown well won. Let us now retrace our steps to the coast districts of East Africa,to which our attention is once more drawn by the arrival ofBishop Hannington (whose consecration has already been referredto) at Freretown, on January 24, 1885. The work at the coast had grown greatly in the ten years duringwhich the struggles and trials which have already been narratedtook place in the far interior. The freed slave settlement at Freretown was now firmlyestablished, and many of the rescued slaves, after careful training,had already been baptized. Schools had been established, andindustrial and agricultural pursuits set on foot. The Rev. W.E. Taylor was giving himself both to evangelistic work andthat study of Kiswahili in which he now so greatly excels.Downes Shaw was another Missionary whose labours belong tothis period.
