Immediately after this he went to his friend Archdeacon Walker and told him that he wished to go out as a teacher to the peoples far away from Uganda, who had never heard the wonderful story. Two young men, who had just come from the country of Toro, told how the people there were longing for the news of the Gospel, and how God had opened the heart of the Toro people to receive His Word. They told of the King of the country who wanted to become a Christian, and who sent a message through them to the Baganda Christians.
This story fired Apolo's heart. Directly after the service he went to Bishop Tucker offering to go to that country. Securing some further preparation, Apolo started off on his great missionary tour. Carrying his few possessions packed up in a bundle, with his sleeping mat rolled round, he said good-bye to his friends, and started off on the two hundred miles walk to the country of Toro. It was a very dangerous journey in those days. There were lions and other wild animals to be faced, and great rivers to be waded through, but he arrived there safely.
The first thing he had to do was to try and understand the language, which was different from his own. He very quickly succeeded in this.
He was welcomed by the young King. This King had recently been to Mengo, the capital. He had been baptised in the name of Daudi. On his return to his own country he began in real earnest to try to live the Christian life. In a letter he wrote to "The Elders of the Church in Europe," he said: "God our Father gave me the kingdom of Toro to reign over for Him, therefore I write to you, my brethren, to beseech you to remember me, and to pray for me every day. I praise my Lord very much indeed for the words of the Gospel He brought into my country, and you I thank for sending teachers to come here to teach us such beautiful words.
I therefore , tell you that I want very much, God giving me strength, to arrange all matters of this country for Him only, that all my people may understand that Jesus Christ He is the Saviour of all countries, and that He is the King of all kings. It was a great opportunity for Apolo, and he made the most of it. An extract from his own writings tells us how he felt when he started this new venture:.
Could there ever be such joy as this, to tell the people who did not know, the wonderful story of Jesus, how He loved us all and how He saved us by His death upon the Cross? I had never known such joy as this that had come to me now, as I preached the Gospel to the heathen Batoro. God filled my heart with His joy.
In the land of Toro there is a mighty snowcapped mountain called Ruwenzori. Apolo had not been long in the country before he determined to climb it. It was not just that he wanted to see the wonders of that mountain, but he told the King: "I must see what is on the other side. It was a hard climb, and so cold that most of his companions left him, but he continued until at last the great vision of the country beyond lay stretched before him. He tells us the story himself of what he saw: "I saw the great country stretching out into the distance before me, most of it black with forest, and far away a range of hills that the guide told me was the Mboga Country, where lived many, many people.
Something seized my heart and gripped me tight; it seemed to pull me towards those hills. A voice within me seemed to say: 'Over there in that country are thousands and thousands of people in heathen darkness; they do not know that Jesus loves them.
Many of them live in that great dark forest where no Muganda has ever been; some are cannibals and eat human bodies, and some are the dangerous dwarfs of whom you have heard, who climb the trees to hunt; no one has ever been there to tell them about Jesus. Toro had other teachers beside myself, while these people had none; who would go to them if I did not?
Yes, I must go to them. T must go to them. After Apolo had seen the church in Toro well established, he started on this other Missionary journey. For many days he climbed through the lower hills of the great mountain, and across the hot plains that divide the mountainous country of Uganda from Congoland. There was one great river, the Semliki, to cross, then he was in the country that he had seen from the mountain; between lay a great plain covered with long grass where many wild beasties roamed.
After Apolo had climbed the hills of Congo-land, he reached the country of Mboga, where he found very wild people. At first the King received him with kindness, hoping to get some presents from him. He gave him a hut and a little piece of ground. As soon as Apolo could understand the language, he started to preach to the people. He told them of the great God, and of their own sinful lives.
There was so much of witchcraft amongst them that Apolo told them it was the work of the enemy of man, and of God. The King and the people soon turned against him.
They did not want to hear such teaching, but there was one poor woman who believed the story Apolo told her, and suffered much from a very cruel husband. This story that Apolo had to tell was a great comfort to her. She was baptised and became the first Banyamboga to enter the Christian Church. THE witch-doctor of that country became mad with anger! He told the King that he must drive Apolo away, or his country would be ruined. The King was in real fear!
He called his men together secretly, and promised a big present to any one who would burn Apolo's house down and kill him. Apolo tells us the story of the attack: "It was night-time, and I was alone in my house. I was praying to God, for I knew that I was in great danger. I did not fear, because I knew God would keep me safe in the midst of all my enemies.
Suddenly I heard whispering outside my hut; I could not hear what was being said, but I guessed that my enemies had come to do me harm. Very soon I smelt the smoke of a fire drifting through the walls. Again I prayed with all my heart, and asked God to protect me. Once more I heard a voice, and this time it was God's voice, saying: 'Don't set fire to Apolo's house; he is My servant, he has come to do My commands.
Who tells us not to fire the house? Then one of the men shouted to me from outside: 'Apolo, Apolo, are you in the house? I shouted back that I was praying. Then the men broke down the door, burst into the house, and some of them seized me, and dragged me into safety. The hut was a mass of flames, and was bound to fall soon. I saw a great company of men with their spears poised and ready for use, and in the other hand many of them had fire-brands; but no one touched me.
They simply gazed at me in astonishment. Then, in great fright, they told me to take my things and fly for my life out of the country, for they were sure that the King would be very angry when he knew that they had failed in their task. To this I replied: 'If you wish to kill me, here I am, you may do so. Am I not alone before you all, and have you not got spears in your hands? He shouted to his men in great wrath: 'Why have you not done as I commanded you?
I told him that God had sent me to Mboga, and that I could not leave unless He sent me. I then left the King and went back to my burning hut, but found that nothing remained but smoking ashes. The next day I began to build another hut. For a short time Apolo was left in peace. The old enemy, however, was busily at work. Another order was sent to Apolo to leave the country.
He says that when this came, he had just been reading about Jesus sending forth His disciples to preach the Kingdom of God. He was sure that Jesus must have known the difficulties and dangers they would meet, and He said to them: "Lo, I am with you alway," so he could not disobey His Master's commands, and he replied: "Go and tell your master that God's messengers were often killed in days gone by, but it did not stop other messengers taking their places.
Tell him I cannot leave. This made the witch-doctor and the King more angry than ever. They sent and had him bound with cords. When he was bound, Apolo said to his captors, "Let us sit down for a little while because I am sure God sent you men to me to be taught. You do not know how good He is. This made the men who bound him feel what a wonderful man he must be.
As they listened to his story, they came back to the King, saying: "Apolo is doing no harm. He is only teaching the people that God loves them. We could not bring him. This time the King sent his Prime Minister, who came and called out to Apolo: "Come out, the King has sent me for you. When they arrived at the King's quarters, they found him sitting on the raised platform at the entrance to his house, waiting to try the case.
He at once addressed the prisoner: "I have sent several of my men to you telling you to leave my country; you have refused to obey me. Now tell me the reason why you have not gone. He sent me here to teach your people, and until He tells me to leave I will not go willingly. Apolo promptly answered that he couldn't obey such an order, but that he must do the work God had sent him to do. At this the King became more angry still and told the men around to strip off his, clothing, and thrash him.
After suffering this very brutal punishment, Apolo, weak and trembling, was driven back to his house. There he lay for days, suffering terrible agony, but praying every day that he might be restored to go back to his work. As soon as he was able, he went back to the Church, and gathered the little band of Christians together.
For a few days he was able to continue his teaching. However, as soon as the witch-doctor saw that the people were going back to Apolo, he stirred up the King and the cruel men around the court. They went and seized Apolo again and dragged him before the King.
This time they really did mean to kill him. Lash after lash fell on his poor naked body, until he became unconscious. The King told them to drag his body away, and throw it into the long grass, where he was sure he would be destroyed by the wild beasts. The King now thought that Apolo was dead, and that he would not have any more trouble, and he determined to make a great feast.
There was much drinking and feasting, and they thought they had banished the teacher and his Book for ever. There was one of Apolo's, friends however, who was watching in the distance. This was the old woman who had been baptised. Her beloved teacher had been killed before het eyes, and thrown into the jungle! After a little while, when she thought it was safe, and she could go secretly, she followed the track where the body had been dragged, until at last she found Apolo lying apparently dead.
She knelt down and wept I To her great joy, there was a movement. She was sure be could not be quite dead. Quietly she went off to a stream to get some water. As she bathed his wounds, she found he really was alive. It was too far to her own home, and if she had tried to carry him there, she would have been discovered.
Finding a little ruined hut, with great difficulty she carried Apolo there. He was still unconscious, and could not help himself. She gathered soft, fresh grass and made him a bed, then some sticks for a fire, and closed up the entrance to the hut.
For weeks she continued to nurse Apolo, and feed him secretly. He became conscious, but was so injured that he was helpless for a time. After about six weeks of this faithful, secret nursing, Apolo thought he would be well enough to go back to his people.
The woman urged him to go back to safety in his own country, Uganda. No, he could not do that. God had more work for him to do, and he must do it! The King and his people thought Apolo was dead and done with. They went back to their heathen ways, never expecting to be troubled with him again. He beat the drum which for so long had been silent.
Immediately the whole place was in a turmoil. The King, hearing the drum, became terribly frightened. He sent out to find who was beating it. The messenger returned with the exciting news that it was Apolo himself, alive from the dead. He was calling the people to prayer.
The King would not believe this, and decided to go and see for himself. As he came near the church, he was more alarmed than ever to hear the sound of voices, one of which he was sure was that of the man whom he had killed.
The King crept up to the door of the little church, and there, to his amazement, he saw Apolo with a small crowd of awe-stricken men and women around him. Apolo was sitting in the midst, with his little Book in his hand, reading to them the wonderful story.
When he saw the King, he went to meet him and greeted him with a happy smile, and asked him to come into the church and join in their class. To the surprise of everybody, the King came in, kneeled before Apolo, and begged him to forgive him the great sin he had committed. Apolo took the King's hand in his own, and kneeling down by his side, he called upon all the people to join him in prayer.
What a wonderful scene that was in that little grass sanctuary. From that day the King, from being the cruel tyrant, became the best friend of Apolo. After great effort, he learnt to read the Book himself, and was baptised, taking the name of "Paul.
Now that the King was a Christian the persecution ceased, and the people were not afraid to attend the church, it was soon crowded out. The people with one accord set to work to build a better one. Apolo rejoiced in this wonderful change that had come over the King and people, and sent a call to Toro for more teachers. After the great success which followed the striking conversion of the King, Apolo was advised to go to his own country for a little rest, and to recover his health.
He had not been long there when a terrible story reached him, that a neighbouring tribe had attacked the Mboga people, and that many had been killed. This news came as a great grief to Apolo, and at once he made plans to return, even though it meant facing death.
The messenger who brought the news told a tragic story. Men, women and children had been killed in their houses, for before they could get away the houses were burned over their heads. Over two hundred of his faithful people had been killed, including several of the teachers.
Before Apolo left Toro a special service was held at the church, at which he preached. With tears streaming down his face, he cried out in his bitterness: "Are these not my children for whom I have suffered? Did not God give them to me? Are they not in deep distress? I must go to them quickly, to help and comfort those who may be left.
Once more God's House must be built. At the end of Apolo was back amongst his people. Blackened ruins were on every side. Familiar faces were missing. As he and the King met, the King said with emotion, "Thank God for bringing you back to us. Bat what sorrow we have seen. Look at the ruins of our church which was built for God.
All is done! How can we ever read again? Apolo told the King and people that he was still their helper, and they would soon rebuild the church. Soon they were busily at work. The Church of God was once more established. Now that God had given such a triumph over the cruelty of the enemy, and the church was growing in numbers and influence, Apolo began to tell them of the wild people still beyond the reach of the Gospel. They talked of the great forest, which, though so near to them, few of the people had dared to enter.
They had heard of the wild and dangerous little folk called the "pygmy. It was indeed a difficult and dangerous proposal for these people to carry the story of God's Love to these wild folk. Apolo, however, was never daunted. After some time they found these little folk, and were able to make friends with them. Apolo and his companions learnt all they could about them, and their ways of life, until confidence had been gained, and the teachers that Apolo had trained were able to live and travel through the forest with them.
It was a strange and weird experience, but kindness won. The little folk began to respond to the teaching, and listened to this wonderful story of the love of the great God, and Jesus the Saviour. Mboga is now a small Mission station about twenty miles west of the Semliki river, situated on a high hill about 1, feet above the river. It is also the name of the country occupied by people called the Banyamboga, a Lunyoro-speaking people akin to the Batoro.
Originally the district lay within the sphere of British Uganda. In the boundary line was moved to the Semliki River itself, and Mboga became Belgian Congo territory.
It says much for the people of this district that though they are now so isolated from contact with the more civilised peoples in Uganda, they still retain their own preeminence. When they do, they have great dread of it. They call it "papse," meaning "father. Some tribes of the pygmies are called Baka.
They are supposed to be especially wild and ever on the move. Others are called "Atikitiki. The pygmies are very fond of dancing. To the sound of their drums they add bones, tattles and singing.
They can keep up their twisting and turning for hours without showing tiredness. Their tunes and their dances are very much like those of the other forest tribes.
Sometimes the music will stop suddenly, the dancers will stand stock still, staring up into the sky, their heads, necks and eyes seem to be straining every nerve. Suddenly the dance starts again! Amongst the monkeys of the forest there is the chimpanzee. One of their dances is supposed to represent this monkey.
Only men and boys can take part in it. With slow, twisting movements and weird grimaces, they go through the camp. The eldest of the group, armed with bow and arrow, represents the hunter. He lurks behind the bush or tree, and takes aim at the other dancers. Off goes the arrow. The dancers scatter, roll about the ground, grin and roar. This they will continue doing for hours.
In their fetish worship they use a kind of whistle, which they call "piki-piki. They burn holes in the ends with red-hot irons.
If they wear it, it is believed to be a safeguard against their enemies or strangers. They also use a bit of whirring wood. The sound, they say, is the voice of Tore, one of their ancestors.
It is used to terrify disobedient women. If a wife is sullen or quarrelsome with her husband, but especially if she bites him, the ominous sound of the whirring wood is heard at night-time near her hut. She knows then that she must expiate her crime.
She sets off into the forest with all speed, and goes to her own clan the next morning and begs for a gift, which she offers as an atonement to her husband. The pigmies have a very clear idea of the mother-in-law problem.
Mother-in-law and son-in-law must not even talk with each other. The relationship of father-in-law and daughter-in law is not quite so rigid. The pygmy does not indulge in the luxuries of bathing and washing. When he awakes, his only toilet consists in rubbing his eyes.
He is an early riser, and will have his fire lit before dawn, and as soon as it is light enough the forest will resound to the call of the huntsmen. The Bambuti hut is very much like the half of a large egg.
It is actually a branch-topped roof roughly thatched with large leaves. There are numerous clans, sometimes distinguished as "Adzapori," who may be called the village people, as distinct from the forest people, "Basua wa pori.
I spent a whole day amongst those attached to the village of Mwera. Mwera himself, a Munande chief, had under his control the Banande and Bambula as well as a considerable number of pygmies. Pygmies on the island will fall asleep. Pick up the swordfish and slap the pygmies. It Will Give You Ulcers!
Wait until a pygmy eats the swordfish. Watch what happens next. Go to this island on the map. Build a fire on the island enabled wood, make pygmies build fire, use storm cloud to start fire and hold a pygmy over the fire until it is crisp. Go back to the ice island. Add another pygmy to the island and enlarge the sun. The pygmy will then melt a big hole where the ice squid lives. First, go to the Coral Reef area. Now spawn some Pygmies and drag a Pygmy over the head of a jellyfish.
Without letting go, tap the map button and quickly head to Graveyard Island. The pygmy you sacrificed with be there on the island. Now touch the Pygmy and you should see it turns into a ghost , but changes back when you let go. Try dragging the Pygmy ghost around and you will see it will walk on an angle.
This Pygmy will also become immune to Gravity and Earthquakes. If you drag the ghost onto another Pygmy, the Pygmy you drag it onto will have an expression as if it were about to be possessed by a ghost permanently.
First, visit God Island and then go to the Coral Reef. Now go to the original Underwater Area and you will see the octopus statue has a missing texture. It is also impossible to interact with but can be fixed by visiting other islands.
If you have a Skin Pack activated for the Octopus Statue, the texture will appear different as well when you perform the glitch. Tap the screen to make the pygmies dance and generate an earthquake. Now there will fireworks without the dance. Note: Tapping the screen to make Pygmies Dance again will deactivate the glitch. Activate Gravity.
Now levitate a Pygmy and tilt the device forward degrees. The Pygmy should be flipped. Go to the Underwater Area and unplug the cork-like object leading to Pain Drain.
Now go to Island of Misfit Crossovers and spawn Pygmies. Grab the Snake and drop it on a Pygmy's head. Quickly generate a Tsunami Wave. The background will change, the Underwater Area is glitched, a Pygmy may appear smaller than normal the smaller Pygmies cannot be interacted with unless you turn it into a pygmy kebab with the statue and the menu is gone.
Because of the glitch, you can only do small bubbles instead of an underwater hurricane. To fix the disappearance of the menu, start Pain Drain. When the Pygmy dies, the menu will return. If you return to any other island other than Graveyard Island, the island will be severely glitched, with many textures being replaced with Moron Pest icons.
You can also perform this in the Coral Reef. This sometimes makes the game crash on iPad. Go to Apocalypse Island. Now open the door, and spawn 2 Pygmies. Open a crack under 1 Pygmy and quickly drop the other Pygmy in the door about when the mini game starts. You will enter a glitched room with The Runs graphics everywhere, similar to the Moron Pests glitch.
This glitch applies to every island. In order to fix this, restart your device. You cannot exit the island because this glitch removes the 'adding pygmies' button and the map. However, there is a way to dodge this. Go to the Dance room and place a pygmy on the dance pad. You can then explore the rest of the archipelago with the graphics. There is a second way to preform this glitch. Then right before the game starts put a Pygmy in the game. If done correctly you should hear the screaming Pygmy sound when he falls into the Run's Game.
Then battle anything in there. The battle textures will be Glitched. This method is harder to pull off then the first. But you can still use it this way if you really feel like it.
Note: If you do this incorrectly, you can softlock your game, and will have to close and re open the app. Complete the Moron Pest glitch and revive the menu. You should see a Pygmy in mid-air either frozen or slightly moving to the left that looks a bit squished.
Now go to Graveyard Island and a ghost that does not have the normal height will appear. If you visit another island other than the Graveyard , the squished pygmy will disappear and is impossible to bring back. Go to Graveyard Island and activate Gravity. Spawn a pygmy and turn him into a Zombie. Now tilt your device forward and the zombie will turn into a Zombie-Ghost. Any Zombie-Ghost will be destroyed when you switch islands but can be rescued by moving it.
If you possess a pygmy with a zombie ghost and quickly go to another island, the ghost will be separated from the pygmy without its name showing and the game will probably crash. Levitate and drop a Pygmy under the Coconut on the tree. Generate an earthquake.
The Pygmy will disregard the earthquake. Activate the Dance ability. Then play Ooga Jump. Tap the screen repeatedly. Once the Pygmy falls and dies, the sky will be filled with fireworks. Another way to do this is to do the never-ending fireworks glitch and then play a mini-game like 'The Runs'. First, let the monkeys play catch with your Pygmies.
While the monkeys are juggling, go to Sand Island. You will see the Pygmies being tortured by Fire Ants while falling into water.
However the tortured pygmy will be a box with a small amount of fire ants on the side. The ants won't make up the entire shape of the Pygmy. You would see a box and part of the baby dinosaur falling towards the water. You will see a part of the temple clock falling toward the water.
First, lift a pygmy and then pick up the meteor. Put the meteor near the sun and keep it there and doing so, place a pygmy on a cloud to start Ooga Jump. Make sure the meteor hasn't touched the ground. To put it back to regular, go to the menu bar and turn off meteor or go to another island and go back to Sand Island. You will also not be able to move anything on the island except for the coconut, since the game thinks you are still holding the meteor.
Enabling and disabling the meteor will make it go back to normal. Spawn Charlie on Sand Island, then break a coconut. After you have broken the coconut, enable the meteor. Just as Charlie gets close enough to the coconut to eat it, drop the meteor on his head. After that, let him eat the coconut. The Charlie being thrown away has no mouth. Note: This can also be done with the Shark , instead of the Meteor. Note 2: If you change the food into a burnt dodo or burnt fish instead, Charlie will do Cannibalism Glitch instead and choke.
Note 3: The Charlie sprite Charlie appears to pick up may actually be the one from the moment when he changes back from his Warlock form or when he is struck by a meteor, as the mouth is barely visible for a moment and they both have angry expressions. In the Coral Reef , create a whirlpool. Then, while the Pygmies are being dragged about, drag a jellyfish into the Pygmy. This should cause the jellyfish to kill the pygmy in one of the four ways. If the whirlpool stops while the jellyfish is still killing the pygmy, the jellyfish will disappear and the pygmy will stay.
However, if you wish to exit the area, the glitched pygmy will not follow. This glitch also sometimes crashes the game. First, go to Ape Mountain and put a pygmy on the Konkey Dong idol. When the other pygmy will automatically fall from the sky, right before he jumps off the mountain, quickly make a Double Rainbow.
When the mini-game starts you will hear the pygmy talk, but it won't be here, and you won't be able to do anything. This glitch can only be fixed by switching off your device and then replaying the game. Go to the Sand Island and flick three Pygmies into the Volcano. What is a pocket vote?
