Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Sketch of the Missions of the American Board in Africa Morning dawns at length in Africa. The night has been long and dark. The opening day has a hopeful outlook and also an aspect of uncertainty. What is to become of the reposeful African under the restless tread of civilization? This greatest of conti nente containing the grandest, and almost the old est, monuments of civilization is the last to be known. For many years little colonies, trading-posts, and slave-marts have fringed its borders; but the vast interior has remained a blank. With no natural ports to attract shipping; with great stretches of malarious coast, fatal to Europeans; with only barbarous tribes inland, and with plenty of unoccupied, more inviting, land in the world, the white man has not been allured hither. Its history, except that of its borders.. Dates from today. The past is unknown, for African natives keep no records. Brave men in recent years have opened this mysterious land to view, and every year is adding new stores to our rapidly accumulating stock of knowledge, new interest in the development of the continent, and fresh forces of heroic and adventurous spirits to carry it forward.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Sketch of the Missions of the American Board in Africa And at Natal you "can find flowers every month in the year, and at times so thick in the open fields that scarce a step could be taken without treading some of them under foot." In contrast with the natural productions, human beings in Africa are of low types. The various races show the marks of centuries of degradation, Nothing is too low to worship. Slavery is the most ancient inheritance of the country. The chief coast trade for ages was in slaves; and systems of brigandage were organized all through the interior to supply the market. Polygamy of the lowest, loosest kind is universal. For an ox or two the husband buys his wife, and for a string of beads the mother has sold her child into bondage. The frightful prevalence of cannibalism was checked by the greater value of the victim for the slave market than the table. Everywhere woman is the animal of all work, and in many tribes modesty in personal exposure is almost unknown. The traveler beholds "young women dabbling in the creeks," innocent of clothing and of scruples. Yet all that was forbidding in Africa has not repelled the missionary, nor prevented his success. More than twenty different Boards have planted stations in this moral waste. They have found the people highly susceptible to religious influences, wherever rum, war, and the slave trade would permit those influences to act. They reckon some forty-seven thousand communicants at the present time, many of them, however, in churches that do not make conversion a condition of church membership.
