xxx LIFE OF DR LIVINGSTONE. 



the command of Captain Bedingfield, the launch being taken 

 on board in three pieces. 



The Pearl will take them as far as possible up the Zambesi, 

 and then leave them to God's merciful Providence and to their 

 own resources. 



In a letter dated Sierra Leone, 30th March, addressed to 

 Sir R. I. Murchison, Dr Livingstone speaks cheerfully of the 

 well-being and happy prospects of the whole party ; stating 

 that they were going on immediately to the Cape. 



We have now brought this Memoir up to the present 

 moment. Surely the prayers of multitudes will ascend to 

 God for the success of this undertaking. True philanthropy, 

 the advancement of science, and the opening up of Africa to 

 Commerce and Christianity are its avowed and real objects; 

 what can be nobler ? This little book finds its way into the 

 world, just after our traveller and his companions have 

 departed from their native shores on this mission. God only 

 knows the result, and He doeth all things well. If they ever 

 return to this country, the editor of this book as well as 

 many who read it may be silent in the grave. While we 

 wish for Dr Livingstone and his companions God Speed, 

 and pray for success and temporal and eternal blessings for 

 all; let us, in remembering our latter end, "strive to enter in 

 at the strait gate," in the prayerful hope of meeting them 

 and many Central Africans around God's throne in heaven. 



THERE IS PEACE, THERE IS HAPPINESS, there "THE WICKED 

 CEASE FROM TROUBLING, AND THE WEARY ARE AT REST."
