Excerpt from James Hannington: The Merchant's Son Who, Was Martyred for Africa "I Enjoy the uphill, struggling path most of all." So wrote James Hannington of himself, and his whole life was a testimony to the truth of this estimate of his own character. Each achievement was but a stepping-stone to some fresh conquest, and all his striving had for its object, not personal glory and gratification, but the glory of God and the good of others. In the following pages no attempt has been made to tell in full detail the story of Bishop Hannington's career, but merely to give in outline the principal facts and most prominent incidents in a life that was singularly rich in all those qualities of heart and mind which make a man beloved of those who live in close communion with him. A more unselfish soul never breathed, nor one whose personality was more attractive. His earnestness of purpose was evident in all that he undertook.
