ABSTRACT
The main streams of mission as well as governmental activity flowed into Northern Rhodesia from the South and East. The Christian missions of Central Africa have felt a deep concern over the opening of the copper-mines, their influence upon the Territories and the obligations that the new centres of population have placed on them. The Dutch Reformed Missionary Society of the Free State, which is in charge of the Northern Rhodesia field, arranges for the periodic visitation of the copper-field by its missionary stationed at Broken Hill, 130 miles south of Ndola. The American Methodist Mission in the Katanga copper belt is in charge of Dr. J. M. Springer, with Jadotville as headquarters. The Protestant mission work in Katanga is under severe restrictions in respect to the mining locations. The Mission has a small plot in Elisabethville and has purchased a site for a chapel near the Native location at the Lubumbashi smelter.
