SHOCKING DOWNFALL
Ol'tte Rev. Wilberforce, Who Has Been
Arrested for Butchering and Ealing

Tried to Convert In Dark
est Africa.
Of all tho fancies evor evolved In
the Imaginings of Hider Haggard-of
all the weird legends that ever came
into the light out of tho darknts* of
tho Afrloan forests there la none
stranger than that of thc lt v. Dr.
Daniel Fllcklnger, Wilberforce, of
Sierra Loone, once missionary general
and now reported to bo tin! war chief
of the Imperial t:ibe and a de voleo of
cannibalism.
In tho whole history of missionary
labor amnng the rucas of the E ust the
story of this vene rabie pastor or seven
ty year;', sometime Gilled Bishop o'
the Oburoh of tho United Urethren o'
Amer'ca, who, according to many do
tailed dispatohes, afttr forty years ot
missionary life, reverted by a gradual
prooeesof avatlsm to his natural state
vof pagan and oaniilbal, stands with
out a parallel.
Waerovor mlsslmary work ls
known, when V r good men and wo
men labor through many years ft r thc
conversion of their benighted brethren
in Incii, At ia or Afr ca the strry ls
told and retold with lamentation*
Scientists ar.d crlminokgls's the
world over will accept the retrogres
sion of this missionary, famous
through the East for hts eloquence
and learning, to tho wai paint of his
tribe and a dinner of human ll sh, as
establishing tho eternal trutli that the
original b"-as<i 11 tho s.ivig * can never
be quelled ln-cenlurles of civilization
nod that Mr. Wilberforce, secretly
hungering thr ugh forty years of re
presston of his natural self for the
Hash for which Ids bbod craved, and
tho Idols of. his forefathers, has but
obeyed thc law of h!s nature
But tho gool mon and women of
the white and colored races who
through a long life have 1&bored with
blind, ceadess, single hear bed devotion
for the enligbter mont of the heatbon,
stand aghast and lu face of this aw
ful living spectacle of degeneracy ask
themselves whether their labor ( f
centuries ls, after all, labor sp ?ut in
valo, and whether lt is. indeed, tho
immutable law of nature that the
savage strain once implanted in the
heart can never l e wiped out
Throughout thlscmntry thc story
has struck deep Into the hearts of tin
ministers of all creeds, aud of those
who give bounteously of their wealth
and substance to shed the light of
OlvtllzUiou on darkened places. Aud
over their hearts and the hearts of the
p'ous men und women of Wdbeiforoe't?
rao hangs a I lack pall of gloom aud
s':;ame and doubt of tho future.
For two generations bad Mr. WU
borforce stood as the exemplar for all
young negro students of divinity of
the he'g h ts to which they themselves
might reach in the pursuit of their
saored m issi oe ; and for tbe mision
arios of the white race he served as a
beacon whenever their hearts failed
them in the stupendous wo k of con
version of tlie West Af rle m savage.
To thousands of his fellows 1 mdlng tn
West Africa, fresh from those shores,
ho haB been as a dear aud venerable
friendj rich in experience as In learn
lng and erudition; an adviser and guide
in tho lirst few troubled months of
their adventure.
And now, back at homo In Amorlca,
or in England, or lah ?rintr still In the
wild, they look blankly at each other
and ask how in the name of Heaven
such things can be.
As if In reply fall tho w irds of the
old man to hts c?pr.ors as he was led
lo the prison at Sierra Loone, there
to await bis trial for cannibalism.
,. "If I am to die lt ls well, I shah
,'die In tho faith of my fathers tbe
faith that was born thousands upon
thorsauds of years ago and which al)
your Ohrlstedn teachings have not
driven out. Tho forty years In which
I lived In your fall h wore forty years
of a living He. The volcis of my fath
ers, of my pdoplo whom I had desert
ed in my youth, of the gods that I
had worshipped, were ( vor cabing to
meto end my days as I had begun,
And at last I beard and went back."
The good men wlt.h whom lils lifo
had been passed plodded with bim,
oven with tears, up to tho very gates
of the prison to return Lo tho filth
that ho had abjured.
And now they urge, with sinno
anger, that the storn action of the
Mission .ry Board ot tho UulUd Broth
ron at Dayton, () do, In summarily
expelling him on evldonce of his re
trogression precipita bcd tho lin tl
downfall.

Well might t oo v/ord of missioner
les wail over his lo.-s, for his sti ry
reads like ?. rarely beautiful romane
of olden times.
it was in tho days of half a century
agone, when the Hg it of civilization
was drawing in darkest Africa, that
the great chief of thc Impjrlal tribe,
the most powerful warlike of those,
timos, and tho R?V. Samuel Flicking
or, pioneer arno ig tho missionaries of
tho United Brethren, m<'t In solemn
conforenoeto arrange a treaty of com
moroa and poaoe. From that time the
friendship of the cilef for tho enthu
siastic* young missionarlos warmed and
grew deeper with tho years.
Too old to Ohango tho faith of his
ancestors, he said he would make no
( If >rb to imped j the work of tho mis
slonarlcs among his people. Pr'bab
ly the aged chief saw tho commer
cial value of a good, friendly under
standing with the gentlemen who were
In a position tc bring him so much
mod trade from Hihgland and Ameri
ca.
Uiiof.of hin pHiploanl l.olrappar
ent to his place was his line strapping
Btrlpllng of li?teon years- the ono
hope of his life, the solo remembrance
of the woman who did years before.
And when Mr. Fi lek inger, who had
the lad under his tut Mon, at. last hog
ged the chief to rehngulsh him for
good, Haying that ho would take him
to his own home In Dvyton, Amorlca,
tho old man onscntcd.
And so to sohool and to a collogoho
went, taking lirst prize in history,
literature and thc class!CL
And tho first years of the young
OiUot's Ufo In America in the home of
to tlitB country were years of golden*
promise. From the earliest days of
his arrival his trend hui been to rall
?loi.
"My path In lifo is ohoseu," he
said, with a smile that showed every
?Inamint? tooth in his head. "I- will
be a worker In the vJueyatd." To the
theoh gloal seminary he went, agalu
gr*dur.t'ng with the big heit honors.
His way wa? e'ear. For West A'rloa
he sailed, and on tho ooast for twenty
years he labored, wlnniog oonvorts
everywhere and becoming famous for
Ll? elcquoLoe aud powt.r, untd his re
turn to Dayton.
And when he married a woman cf
his own race and settled down Into a
ministry of tho home ol u'ou, lt seem
ed that the malu work, of his life was
complote. Dut the split fcntwdon the
Ridloal and Conservative faotlons of
tho United Brethren drove him first
to ono aldo ai d then to the other ar.d
at last back to West Afrloa.
And now thoho who kuow his storv
cito two peculiar o'roumstaucesalcoo.u
unnoticed at tho time, bat nowrecAh
ed in uv i viii memory.
Tm.ro was In bis whole attltudo a
orouoh, an animal stealth that sent a
o ulder thu ugh those who watoced
bim.
lt may bo that in the storm of cou
tentlon between the two factions of
the oburoh ..ho first lense of rebellion
against his t tl jptod faith-Mio rebel
lion that had long lain smoulder lr g In
bis hoari-arose strong and clear with
iv him.
Yoi ho bravely went I adi to his
duly. Tho remembrance cf the gcod
man-now to loi g lu his grave-who
had taken him by tho hard, hold him
fast. Rut toe devoted hoart that had
bi en part of himself, that bad given
feivir and foroo to his work, wat,
geno. Yoi to those who watcted him
coady now-he was seemingly thc
Same gentle proti clor of the poor and
the stricken that ne had ever boon.
His mission Behool grew larger and
lat gel ; Mi oburoh grow moro and
more poweriu ; his lbfluenoo the wld
or. ll h e m ver cs to C ir ls lian i ty wore
fe und by tho thousand along b^e whole
lino of tho Weit African coast Dis
artas a preacher h \d ITU Howe! and
ripened with cue years.
lt was on tho night of a Sun lay
thiee years ag0 that he returned to
his cottage looking very tired and old.
The services of that day had been
mire than usually exhausting N v r,
they said af er ward, had ho preachet
.io well. Ile had take "S nc rltv" for
his text. It was an address to bo re
membered for all timo. B it lt was
recalled afterward that right in tho
heart of his sermon ho had oome to a
sudden dead siop, his hand uplifted
?is thc ugh to bespeak ailene-, his eyes
Uxod on vacancy, his whole expr?s lon
as ooo who listens fr ra afar. Then,
ai if with a great i ft' rt ho reocveioo
his thoughts, sighed p-jep'y and re
tanned his discourse.
"I tm vory weary," he sahl to his
servants. "To-night while I wasspoak
ing, 1 board tt'o s und of tho prayer
song that I r< memoer in my you'.h.
The song seemed to be born In upon
me irwin the y ry depths of the forest
I heard the v los of oiy brethren
cal-ed as tueu'h to call me.
When they entered the room in the
morning his b :d was empty. Yot they
did notsearoh for him, bm after the
manner of tnelr race, quietly sat do WE
at their d<u,rs and waited.
And ab, last there came, a dark time
when, they say, for twenty one long
days lie vanished fr< m the ken cf all
who had known him.

Little it recked to him that the
council of the church In far away
Annrica had solemnly expelled him
for li ll iellty to the brotherhood. For
the first time In bis life ho breathed
the air of freedom.
And now from out. the recesses of
the Afr.em forests, ten mils away
from tho e >ast, came ghastly stories
of the sacrifices i if J red up by thc
tribes of the Imperial in return for the
restoration of tnelr chief; of death

we are not ready to enf rjo prohibi
