REPORT OF AFRICAN MISSIONS
God has signally blessed the work of winning souls for Christ

on the Dark Continent. We began our labors of love some twenty-

two years ago in Great Britain’s large and populous colonial terri-
tory, Nigeria. This spiritual enterprise was blessed by God in
a marked degree so that today we have a church setup which em-
braces nine geographical districts.
