This is the story of the medical mission work carried out by E. May Crawford and her husband in British East Africa – what is today Kenya – with the Church Missionary Society (CMS) from 1904. My thanks to Redcliffe College for providing a copy of this public domain book for digitisation.
To all who have at heart the evangelizing of African tribes this book will be of more than ordinary interest. It describes the widening influence of the British Empire in large tracts of the East Africa Protectorate which have been, until recent years, closed to all but intrepid explorers. It also portrays vividly, and with grace and skill, the progress of medical missionary effort, from the very difficult beginnings in the face of hostile superstitions, to the days when the authoress and her husband were overwhelmed by the demands made upon each day of their lives by the crowds of eager patients, whose confidence they had won by their devotion and manifested kindness, as also by God’s blessing resting on the doctor’s successful treatment of the sick, and of those who had need of surgical aid.
