Overview

Excerpt from Through Lands That Were Dark, Being a Record of a Year's Missionary Journey, in Africa and Madagascar Nor does the discussion of questions of missionary policy or any account of the details of the work in the various fields fall within the scope of this book. These matters have been dealt with in Reports prepared for the Directors of the Society. Further information with regard to all the fields can be obtained in the Society's Annual Report. Some account of Madagascar and the missionary work there will be also found in a book just published, entitled Madagascar for Christ, being the Joint Report of the Simultaneous Deputations from the London Missionary Society, The Friends' Foreign Mission Association, and the Paris Missionary Society, which have recently returned from Madagascar.* The journey has been one of great fascination. From the point of view of the traveller it has been full of interest. From the point of View of a Secretary of a Missionary Society carrying on work in the lands visited, the out standing impression has been that of the growing Christian Church. In Central Africa that Church is in its infancy, but it is an infancy full of promise. In South Africa and Madagascar the Native Church is nearly a century old. Its foundations have been well and truly laid, and it exhibits all the signs of healthy life and growth. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
