If God “hath set bounds to the habitations” of the different races of men, or to any race, that fact should enter into our plan of missionary work. It is our duty to succeed. How to do it, is worthy of our greatest thought and most earnest prayer. When we take the road to success in God’s work, we find heavenly attendants all along the way, and abundant supplies of grace and every needful thing. Just now the great question before the Christian world is, “How to succeed with missionary work among the recently discovered Pagans in Equatorial Africa.” Attempts have been made on the borders of this country for hundreds of years, but no permanent success has been achieved inland. We have learned, however, two things. One is, that white men and mulattoes are, as a rule, incapable of preserving their health and lives in the climate of tropical Africa; and the other, that the genuine negro has a constitution entirely fitted for its vicissitudes. “Negroes for Negroland” must be emblazoned on the banner of the successful missionary army, as it goes forth to battle against sin through the Dark Continent. The history of every missionary endeavor of long continuance among the negroes in tropical Africa warrants this conclusion. But have negroes succeeded as missionaries? They have not had much opportunity for doing so, as but few missions have been committed to their care. Public sentiment has been against them. The theory of manning stations by black men is comparatively recent. Our great societies, however, are forced by the unfolding of providential events to weigh the evidence in favor of the theory. The only question left to be settled pertains to the negro’s aptitude and capacity. Can he achieve success in the domain of missions? We are fortunate in having an illustration which enables us to answer this question in the affirmative.
