Chapter VI

Travelling in Uganda

Whilst it is not possible to describe in detail the work throughout the country, I can at least give an outline of the daily work of missionaries.

The country could not be called tropical as a whole, but scenery in most of the valleys is certainly so, as there is a plentiful supply of moisture and constant heat. Aerial locomotion would be a great boon to Uganda, for roads are a difficulty. To main centres there are, indeed, roads, the bridges of which are usually kept in repair; but most of our missionaries must travel a great deal to get to country churches in villages, which often lie considerably off the beaten track.
