Excerpt from History of the Origin, Development and Condition of Missions Among the Sherbro and Mendi Tribes in Western Africa The following pages have been prepared with a view to presenting in brief the history of Sherbro Mission, in West Africa, under the auspices of the church of the United Brethren in Christ. Fully persuaded that this mission has the seal of the Master's approbation, and has been kept alive and carried through many seasons of darkness and great discouragement by his gracious providence, the writer trusts that this record of its career may prove both interesting and profitable to the souls of its readers, and a stimulus to bring the Church up to a more hearty support of this and all other missions under the fostering care of the Board of Missions. Added to the history of Sherbro missions will be found very valuable statistics, showing the progress of the missionary work in the United Brethren Church since 1855. These are gathered from official sources, and may be regarded as correct. This volume is committed to the Church with the prayer that God's blessing may attend it, and that his grace, in largest measure, may abide with all who are engaged in missionary labor in heathen lands.
