STATUS of the native in the Belgian Congo has gone up considerably
in the past twenty-five years according to three missionaries
who will leave Eugene this month to return to Africa.
Christian Church missionaries, Mr. and Mrs. David Byerlee and
Miss Hattie Mitchell, first went to Belgian Congo in the early twen
ties. Even then, many of the natives were paid a few spoonfuls of
salt and some brass rods for a month's work.
Today, some natives re receiving larger salaries than single mis
sionaries. The natives are well-trained, well-educated, and assuming
responsible government positions.
The Eugene missionaries said that in the fifty years that there
have been Christian Church workers in Coqullhatville province of
Belgian Congo 80,000 natives have become members of their church.
The province is smaller than the area of the State of Oregon but
there are more members of this denomination there, than in the states
of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, and Utah combined.

unduplicated benefits of endocreme. For a decade now, thil

Africa Old Story
To Byerlee Pair
Anticipating their sixth trip to
the Belgian Congo as Christian
Church missionaries are Mr. and
Mrs. Byerlee, 1442 Oak Street,
now waiting for sailing reserva
tions. They may sail to Belgium
and then fly to the Congo, or
sail from the West Coast.
Although they have claimed
Eugene as their home since their
return last September, they have
spoken at eighteen out-of-town
conventions during this period.
They will be living in Coqull
hatville, Belgian Congo, which is
the capital of the province of the
same name. It is situated on the
equator, where it crosses the
Congo River, one thousand miles
from the West Coast.
The Byerlees revealed such
climatological information as
the fact that it is warmer, both
north and south of the equator
than it is on the globe-dividing
line proper. Also, that the hot
test period there is from Christ
mastime to April.
Mr. and Mrs. Byerlee Were
married in Salem in 1918. At the
time, he was attending the Eu
gene Bible University, now
Northwest Christian College. His
wife taught voice at NCC from
1917 to 1920, when he was grad
uated from the college. Mrs.
Byerlee had studied voice at a
private school in Calgary, Al
berta, Canada. The school was
under the auspices of the Royal
Academy .of Music in London.
During the 1918-19 school
year Mr. Byerlee was a me
chanical foreman of the Eugene
Guard, later consolidated with
the Eugene Register. The Byer
lees' son, Allen, a sophomore at
both NCC and the University of
Oregon, has been employed as
a part-time worker at the Eu
gene Register-Guard since last
September.
Mrs. C. A. Read, their daugh
ter, was graduated in June from
NCC and now is a senior at the
university. The children spent
most of their lives in Africa, as
the Byerlees have been there
from 1920-23; 1924-29; 1930-35;
1936-41; and 1944-48.

Miss Mitchell Sees
War Years Abroad
Miss Mitchell is the daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. H. T. Mitchell of
Springfield. She was graduated
from the Eugene Bible School,
now the Northwest Christian
College, in 1919 and attended the
Christian College of Missions in
Indianapolis, Ind., from 1920 to
1922. Miss Mitchell received her
bachelor's degree from the Uni
versity of Oregon in 1932 while
on a furlough from her mission
work.
Her first assignment in the
Belgian Congo was from 1922 to
1925. In 1926, she studied
French in Belgium, then re
turned to Africa the following
year. Returning to the States in
1931, she came by way of East
Africa and Japan. From there
she sailed on a Japanese freight
er to San Francisco.
She was back in Africa from
1933 to 1938, and again in the
war years from 1939 to 1943.
The 1943 return trip was a
memorable one. Miss Mitchell
said. Her ship was at sea for 60
days from the time it left Dur
ban, South Africa, until they
docked at San Pedro, Calif. '
There was more submarine
dodging than the passengers
knew, according to Miss Mitch
ell. At one time, they were
twenty miles from a spot off the
South American coast where an
American destroyer had just
sunk a German blockade runner.
She was back in Africa from
1945 to 1948.
Miss Mitchell will now go to
Mondonby in the Coquilhatville
province where she is to be
supervisor of the school. Mon
donby is situated 500 miles
southeast of the Byerlees post at
the Coquilhatville province capi
tal. Boys and girls attend her
school at different times of the
day, Miss Mitchell said. The na
tives are in school for three or
four hours a day. The rest of
the time they work to earn their
livelihood. Their jobs vary from
agricultural work and nursing in
the post hospital to apprentice
ships in masonry and the car
penter shop.
She said that the Belgian gov
ernment relies on the Protestant
and Catholic missions for all
school work except professional
training.
Miss Mitchells picture ap
pears in the book, "Fifty Years
In Congo" by Herbert Smith
which was published this year.
The book lists some of her duties
s keeping books as station trea
surer, visiting out stations, bap
tizing converts, performing mar
riages, advising mothers, and
demonstrating gardening. Her
evangelistic work, however, is of
prime importance.
