Opis: The Bishop of Africa; Or the Life of William Taylor, D.D - Davies E.

Excerpt from The Bishop of Africa; Or the Life of William Taylor, D.D: With an Account of the Congo Country, and Mission

For some time the blessed Holy Spirit has prompted me to write the following book, yea, it came upon me as an inspiration: so that I was compelled to write or disobey. It has seemed to me that the wonderful facts of the history of William Taylor ought to be put on permanent record. For years I have been gathering material for the same. Years ago I wrote a sketch of his life. This book will give a concise and somewhat complete account of his marvellous life and extensive travels; and of his great African mission; it will also tend to provoke the zeal and self-sacrifice of others.

I write also to show how wonderfully his self-sustaining or Pauline method of support has been established; and also to show that this method by no means supersedes or disparages the work of the Missionary Society. Nay, verily! but it supplements and stimulates that work.

And, as I am not an interested party, I hope to give an unprejudiced statement of facts that will be a blessing to all.

I have gathered from all quarters a liberal amount of information concerning Central Africa, especially the region of the Congo, which is indeed a most promising mission field.
