Excerpt from By the Equator's Snowy Peak: A Record of Medical Missionary Work and Travel in British East AfricaReaders will not fail to comprehend what the difficult and dangerous journeys have meant to a refined white woman, they will be delightfully interested in the narratives of the customs and habits of the tribes, they will be thrilled by the recitals of the doctor's experiences, in and out of hospital, they will gaze with deep pleasure on the many pictures painted in words by the authoress depicting village life and human need of sympathy and help but more than all they will behold the workings of the Kingdom of God in purely heathen people. Very simply Mrs. Crawford lays bare the spiritual realities of missionary enterprise. Along with Christian kindness, medical skill, cease less endeavour to mitigate suffering, patient teach ing and the exhibition of a Christian home, there are results visible which are not of earth, and which come neither from healing in the wards nor from Christian education in the school. There are effects which plainly are only wrought by God, effects which spring from the gift of eternal life. Young men are steadfastly resisting what they now know to be evil, though parent, friend and tribe bitterly, persecute them. By what power? Men and women are publicly being sealed as God's children and servants, and are entering into union and fellowship with Christ in God.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
