Foreword I HEL ord Jesus Christ has said that the Gospel must first be preached in all the world before He comes. Therefore all who love His appearing must love the work of the foreign missionary. The Church of God is described as Catholic. This much misused word implies that it is to include within its pale members from the whole wide world. And no one can presume to call himself a member of God sC hurch, and ignore the will of God in this matter. You cannot enter into partnership in a firm and begin by repudiating its liabilities. The liability which theL ord Jesus has left upon every Christian is to go into all the world and preach the gospel. This little book tells how a few of God sdear children linked together in the fellowship of the Africa Inland Mission, are busy taking possession of one part of the great dark Continent for Christ. But if they go out on this errand for the sake of theN ame, we who are still at home owe it to their Lord and ours to do all we can to help. During the war people who couldnt join the fighting services went to prepare munitions for those who could. And in this warfare of the Cross the same thing ought to be true.

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
