Excerpt from The Heart of Central Africa: Mineral Wealth and Missionary OpportunityAlthough in a week's time incredible changes had been made in the boy, yet, when I saw on the morning that we were to start that all ten of his toes were raw and sore at the ends from jiggers, I felt that I could not take him on the trail. I pointed out to him that evidently he would not be equal to three or four months' steady marching some twenty miles a day, that the country ahead of us was unknown and the people wild and hostile, which would make it unsafe for any one who might need to be left behind. I told him further that I could not afford to take any one along who could not carry a load, and reminded him that he was already three hundred miles from his home, and that he might not see it again if he went along with us, In vain. He said that he would not be left behind, that his feet would get well, and that he was able to carry a load, but go he must, and go he would, for at the end of the trail was a school, and there he would stay and learn the Book.So he went the whole fifteen hundred miles, and we left him in the school at Quiongua, in Angola, where he was converted within six months, and the transforming power of the Lord Jesus is working wonders in his heart. That is Sondo, or, as he was known to us, Kitchen.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
