Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Historical Sketch of the African Mission of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the U. S. A Surely there can be no duty more imperatively binding upon Christians than that of striving to give to all the nations who sit in darkness the marvellous light of the Gospel. That the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States in her corporate capacity has faithfully endeavored to obey this parting behest of the Master, admits of no question; that her efforts may have been productive of less tangible results, in some instances, than were hoped and prayed for, in no wise detracts from the sincerity and devotion of those who have gone forth thoroughly imbued with the missionary spirit, and have done all in their power to disseminate the teach ings of Him whose all-embracing love compassed the entire world. In no direction, perhaps, has greater effort been made by this Church with less apparent success than in the attempt to illuminate with the light of Christianity the gloomy recesses of the Dark Con tinent. The history of African Missions is one that, while it may sadden the hearts of believers and induce a temporary feeling of discouragement, should also serve as an incentive to renewed effort and an increased faith in the final triumph of those teachings upon which the salvation of the human race depends.
