Book Description
Excerpt from A Pathfinder in South Central Africa: A Story of Pioneer Missionary Work and Adventure There is no doubt that in recent years Africa has been gaining an increasingly prominent position, not only in the thought of the Christian Church, but also in the deliberations of European Parliaments, with the result that the political map of the 'Dark Continent' has undergone considerable modifications during the last few years. And when we consider the diversity of its products, the vastness of its mineral wealth, its wonderful possibilities of trade and commerce, we may safely predict that its importance will assuredly grow. The amazing variety of Africa's countless inhabitants is surprising. Here men may be found in every stage of development, from the cultured and refined Europeans of the coast towns, down to the dwarfs of the swamps and the pigmies of the Central forests. In every corner of that great land there are problems to be solved that will tax the faith and courage and resources of the wisest and best among us.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Pathfinder in South Central Africa: A Story of Pioneer Missionary Work and Adventure The illustrations are nearly all from my own photographs. They were taken under difficulties, and at considerable expense. They are unique in that they are in themselves a valuable historic record Of work done; they illustrate the text and constitute a welcome addition to the book. For the sake of completeness a table of events is included. My sincere thanks are due to my brethren in the ministry who have so heartily received me into their Churches; to those who have made special gifts to the Nambala Mission; to the many friends whose hospitality I have shared during my furlough in England; and also to the still larger number who have prayed and wrought for the success of the missionary cause.
