see the First Ugandan independence day 52 yrs ago! since then it has remained “the Pearl of Africa.” Ugandans are extremely intelligent people, and the missionaries who followed in Stanley’s steps and established a station in Kampala tell wonderful stories of individual converts who quickly learnt to read the Bible in their native tongue, and to write capital letters, and who even suffered cruel martyrdoms for their faith; but all who have had anything to do with Uganda agree that some of its leaders can be crafty, lying, murderous and thieves. Otherwise Ugandans are very skilful with their fingers, and in the making of shields, spears, and canoes they excel all other African tribes; they are extremely fond of music, and have a number of musical instruments; indeed, in Sir Samuel Baker’s opinion, a missionary to be successful in Uganda ought to be able to dance ekitagururo and play omukuri.
