DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Day-Dawn in Dark Places: A Story of Wanderings and Work in Bechuanaland The life of a missionary in the interior of Southern Africa is usually attended with stirring incident and adventure. Whilst pursuing his great work of evangelist he meets with game and wild beasts in the open country; with wild and degraded men in town and village. He uses waggons, guns, horses, and oxen; he handles trowel, plumb-line, adze, saw, and spirit-level, as well as the usual implements of a minister's study. His highest work is to deliver the message of Heaven's mercy, and to explain the Sacred Book in which it is contained; but he seeks also to teach something of natural science. At times he is a schoolmaster; and again he may be seen with his disciples in the garden or corn-field with spade or plough in his hands. Readers of "Ten Years North of the Orange River" will feel themselves at home in the pages of "Day-Dawn in Dark Places." In preparing this little book my great object has been to give in brief space a clear and true picture of Mission Life and Work, leaving that to produce its own effect on my readers' mind. I have noticed that books which are much liked by young people are usually favourites with old people also; and I need hardly say that I shall feel quite honoured if this should be the happy fate of the present little volume.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
