INTRODUCTION


With utmost confidence and pleasure, I give an introductory expression
for this intelligible, authentic, and most valuable little volume, the
product of great sacrifice and long experience, by one who was favored
and honored with lucrative educational positions, being a classic.

I have been acquainted with the authoress for many years, and am a
member of the Foreign Missionary Board under whose auspices she has most
effectually labored during an unbroken period of one and one-half
decades; therefore I speak with great assurance of the merits and hope
of her book, destined to be prolific and incentive to active missionary
operations in foreign lands.

The photo-engravings have special interest, having been taken from real
life and nature as she found them in dark Africa
