Two Audiences Hear
Missionar/s Lecture
Miss Nollie McDonald
Speaks at School and
Presbyterian Church
Miss Nollie K. McDonald, a mis
sionary from the Southern Presby
terian Mission Center at Belgian Con
go, Africa, addressed a group of
more than 400 pupils and teachers of
the Edenton school in the school au
ditorium Thursday morning. High
lighting the address was a series of
colored slides portraying the homes,
food, work, and natural every day liv
ing of the natives with whom she has
worked for the past three years as
matron in one of the mission centers
in the heart of the Belgian Congo.
Following the lecture, Miss Mc-
Donald showed a number of products
from that region, many of which were
woven from the bark strippings of
palm trees which the natives use en
tirely for cloth and other necessary
things.
Among Miss McDonald’s prize col
lection from the Congo were hand- j
carved ivory elephants, a native cos
tume, bracelets, hats, a priceless hand
carved miniature Pyramid and a
miniature Sphinx, made from genuine
alabaster stone. The collection also
included a warrior’s knife as worn on
dress occasions by the natives, which
was a gift to Miss McDonald by Lu
kenga, king of the Congo, who is the
proud possessor of more than 300
wives. Miss McDonald stated that
about 80 of these wives have become
Christians.
On Sunday evening Miss McDonald
repeated her lecture to an apprecia
tive audience at the Edenton Presby
terian Church.
Miss McDonald, a sister of Mrs. R.
E. Leary, is now on leave of absence
from the mission, but expects to re
. turn in September to take up her du
ties as a medical missionary and X
ray technician. She is a graduate of
Woman’s College in Greensboro.
