Excerpt from Third Visit of the Rev. W. Hughes, Colwyn Bay, to the West Coast of Africa: Brief Account of the Cameroons, the Native Hymn and Tune Book, and the Native Churches of That Land, With Correspondence
One Missionary Society from this country spent no less than in improving the condition of the people, and mission stations were established in many parts of the district. A large number of the natives spoke the English language, and by right, this part of Africa should have been taken by the British -government.
However, this was not the case, and the Germans took possess ion oi it at the time mentioned, entirely against the Will oi the natives.
On account of the arrogance and tyranny of; the new govern ment, all the white missionaries were transferred to other parts of Africa, and the poor natives were left entirely in the hands of the Germans.
Some German missionaries entered the field, but their ways were as objectionable to the natives as those of the Government officials The result was that the natives preferred to build their own churches and superintend their own schools in every part of the Colony, quite separate from them, though the original chapels and schools were in the possession of the Germans.
