Excerpt from Daybreak in the Dark Continent One of the great features of the missionary revival, with which the new century opens, is the determination that the Church shall study, seriously and systematically, the countries and peoples where and among whom missions are to be maintained, and the methods best adapted to evangelize them. Forms of government, racial peculiarities, religious beliefs, degrees of intelligence, and many other factors are to be considered, not only in the judging of a people, but also in the plans proposed for their improvement. The more intelligent the Church becomes concerning all mission fields - their environment, difficulties, methods, discouragements, and results - the more surely will conscientious and systematic giving increase, and the more certainly will the higher life of service among God's people be advanced. The title of this book, Daybreak in the Dark Continent, is suggestive of the present conditions in Africa.
