The late esteemed Treasurer of the Baptist Missionary Society, Mr. Joseph Tritton, published \u201cThe Rise and Progress of the Congo Mission\u201d in 1885, which. publication has for some time been out of print, and during the last ten years the Missions has greatly developed. Considerable information is also to be found in the Memoir of Thomas J. Camber; appearing in this. Series, but that work\u00b7 is necessarily restricted by its biographical character. <strong>[<a href=\"https:\/\/missiology.org.uk\/pdf\/e-books\/myers-j-b\/congo-for-christ_myers.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Continue reading<\/a>]<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John Myers brings up to date the story of the work of the Baptist Mission to the Congo, building on the account of Joseph Tritton using official BMS records.
