    It has been suggested that a brief but connected account of the Rise, and Progress thus far, of the Society’s Mission in Central Africa, would be useful, especially in connection with our Sunday-schools, in many of which great interest has been awakened in this particular branch of our operations.<\/p>\n

    Laid aside in the providence of God from active work, it has occurred to me that I might be of some service in preparing a narrative, such as I conceive to be desired.
