Not illustrated. 1885 edition. Excerpt: ... chapter xxxi. encouragements to labor. From the experiment already made in the colony of Sierra Leone, we are fully warranted in the assertion that missionaries have a great influence over that people for good, and that they may do much to elevate them from a state of degradation to a state of moral purity. True, there yet remains much to be done where missionaries have operated for years; but is there not also much to be done yet among the people of this country, who have heard the gospel, and have had its restraining and purifying influences thrown around them from childhood? Some half-hearted religionists, and wicked persons who neither fear God nor regard the rights of man, there will be, in despite of all that Christianity can do to prevent it. Were all the clergymen of Ohio to concentrate their efforts in one county, and were they all much better men than most of them now are, still some of the people of that county would live and die in sin. Paul understood this; and hence, when he had planted a church and fully declared the whole gospel in one place he went to another; and thus he continued to go about much of his time, kindling up the glorious light of the gospel that men might be saved if they would. The argument that we have sinners enough at home, "stay here and preach instead of going to Africa," is worth nothing at all. True, we must keep up the institutions of Christianity at home, or in a few centuries we should be what the Africans are now in point of moral degradation; but we must also do our duty in sending the gospel to those who have it not.

Esther Megill had an extraordinary life experience in Sierra Leone as a medical technologist–extraordinary in the work she did, in the work she helped others to do, and in the legacy of good will she left behind at the time of her “retirement.” Her book, Sierra Leone Remembered, reads like an adventure novel. Written in an easy conversational style, it is a true story whose “characters” draw you into their world. There are surprises at every turn and some will make you laugh along with Esther and her friends. Some will make you weep as she wept for the sick, displaced and those who lost their lives. This author was there and she takes you with her. Her stories have an unmistakable ring of essential truth. Other authors may have given us history lessons, descriptive passages, testamonials of faith, or glimpses into the culture and everyday lives of people. Esther Megill gives all that and more. Her feast of photographs tell thousands more stories at a glance. Pull up a chair, open Sierra Leone Remembered, and you will see and hear Esther tell her story in her own voice. Her story inspires one to look for the best in the human spirit despite circumstances. One sees that dedication to serve others with compassion, courage and faith, and medicine blessed with God’s love, can make a difference. –Sylvia Smyth
