Missionaries -- Vanuatu -- Biography; Paton, John Gibson, 1824-1907
The author’s two trips across Africa, entirely unarmed and
unattended except by the local and constantly changing carriers, and
in such marked contrast with many modern adventurers, strongly
impress one to ask if another Livingstone has not appeared among us.
Traversing where no white man had ever been seen before, and meeting
kings and chiefs accustomed only to absolute power, he demanded and
received attention in the name of his God. Cloth 8vo, 290 pages,
$1.25.
=IN THE FAR EAST: China Illustrated. Letters from Geraldine Guinness.=
Edited by her sister, with Introduction by Rev. J. HUDSON TAYLOR. A

which these letters are now put into permanent form. A full page
colored map of China enhances this admirable gift book.
