SHERBRO MISSION. 
65 
gations to the faithful missionaries we have there, 
to the heathen among whom they labor, and to 
the Master whose command is, Ho teach all 
nations,’ require this at our hands.” 
This brief sketch of Sherbro mission is closed 
with the consciousness upon the part of the writer 
that the work is but partially and imperfectly 
done, even up to the year 1877. Besides, much 
of the most important part of the history of that 
mission has taken place since said date. The 
appendix found in the latter part of Ethiopia,” 
conskting of over eighty pages, and embracing 
the period from 1877 to 1885, will give a pretty 
full history of the mission during these eight 
years. 
As it consists of letters of missionaries written 
while in Africa, and reports made by the secretary 
of the Board at difierent times immediately after 
returnii^g from Africa, considerably more than 
history will be found in this as well as in other 
parts of Ethiopia.” Those who are interested in 
the redemption of Africa, and the part taken in 
that work by the United Brethren in Christ, will 
be profited by a perusal of this entire book. A 
marked Providence has directed in the prosecu- 
tion of the work in Africa from the beginning.
