Excerpt from Alfred Saker: The Pioneer of the Cameroons Africa. He never desired that any memoir or memorial of his life-work should be prepared, and only the hope and desire that this life-story of one so truly devoted to the cause of Christ and to the uplifting of the human race from heathenism and degradation into the light and liberty of the Gospel, may stimulate some young lives to a like noble consecration of God-given powers, has induced the present writer to dis regard her father's known shrinking from publicity and renown, and prepare this book. That God may be glorified and the missionary zeal of many be quickened into a more lively flame by the perusal of these pages, is the biographer's earnest prayer.

King William, the Bimbia chief, had now to be seen, and his consent gained to the occupation of such a part of the coast as might be found suitable for a settlement. Previous journeys and voyages pointed out the Bay of Amboises as a favourable spot; and, at Mr. Saker's formal request, the chief willingly agreed to sell such a tract of land as might be wanted. He also promised a guide when the missionary was ready to start on his exploring expedition. The weather being very stormy, Mr. Saker proceeded to his station at Cameroons, where arrangements were requisite for the reception of some of the children from Clarence. The boat being provisioned, Mr. Saker left, on Monday, the 14th of June, for Bimbia. By nightfall the bar of the river was reached, where he anchored till next morning. A night of storms and of rolling seas, with great discomfort, followed. A small canoe that Mr. Saker had taken with him was lost; but Bimbia was at length reached in the afternoon. After a hurried dinner, Mr. Saker, with Mr. Fuller and a guide, set out to explore the bay, where he hoped to find a suitable refuge for his flock. "With rapid steps they penetrated the wilderness, and soon, at War Bay, came upon the sea, under the towering cliffs which skirt its shores. The track round the bay was exceedingly difficu

This study presents a history, based on original archival and primary source material, of the Baptist mission educational situation of Cameroon province from 1922 to 1945. The provisions of the League of Nations' mandate, under which Great Britain administered the province in this period, included 'complete freedom of conscience and the free exercise of all forms of worship', yet from the beginning of the Mandate clear tensions existed. The missions desired education to serve evangelical purposes, while the colonial government strove for a uniform adaptionist program, suited to European perceptions of the abilities, traditions and local conditions of the African peoples. The work relates thus to a number of themes: European colonialism; the Mandate system; international theories of education; a comparison of British, American and German influences; cross-cultural mission work; and the personal contributions of three particular missionaries: Bender, Gebauer and Dunger.

Excerpt from Alfred Saker, Missionary to Africa, Vol. 2: A Biography Alfred Saker wished to be known under no other designation than a "Missionary to Africa"; and it is under that aspect of his character that the following pages have been compiled. All the energies of his nature were concentrated on that one object, and its fulfilment he held to constitute his one claim to our regard. But in other respects he was a man worthy of admiration and of the deepest affection; and in the pursuit of his aim he never forgot the claims of family love, of Christian duty, or of the Master to whom with great joy he gave the life he had received at His hands. For the purposes of this biography, I have been much indebted to Mrs. Saker for many details of her husband's early life; and the Committee of the Baptist Missionary Society, whose honoured servant he was, have freely placed at my command the correspondence in their hands.
