<p>This article attempts to assess more precisely the role of the Seventh Day Baptist movement in northern Nyasaland as a case study in African reactions to missions and to colonial rule. Internal factors contributing to the establishment of the movement included an intense desire among Africans to acquire a western education apart from European missionary control, and the competent leadership provided by Charles Domingo. External factors included the influence of Joseph Booth and the pattern of labour migration from Nyasaland to southern Africa. The movement's significance as a case study in the formulation of anti-colonial sentiment can only be understood by considering the context of interaction between the Seventh Day Baptist leaders and European missionaries, settlers, and administrators. By establishing their own churches and schools, the African Seventh Day Baptists confronted hostile attitudes among Europeans at every turn. Everyday patterns of African-European interaction, which made the Seventh Day Baptist leaders aware of these hostile attitudes, fostered the formulation of a more critical African appraisal of the colonial presence.</p>
