The Zulu Yesterday and To-Day : Twenty-Nine Years in South Africa (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Zulu Yesterday and to-Day: Twenty-Nine Years in South Africa

The author of the present work writes from the vantage ground of a personal knowledge of Africa, covering a period of well-nigh thirty years. Urged by an impulse scarcely to be accounted for, save that it was the direct leading of God, Miss Hance, in early life, gave herself to service in the Mission Field, little dreaming that she would be assigned to the Dark Continent, and, as she herself tells us, shrinking at first from the call when it came to go to this, to her then almost unknown, and entirely forbidding territory. With a courage born of love for her fellow men, however, she responded to the summons; and there, away beyond the heart of Africa, in the land of the Zulus, she yielded the very best there was in her to the work of carrying the Gospel Light to the people of that country, soon coming to love them more and more, the better she knew them, so that her very soul was wrapped up in her service.
