ABSTRACT
AFRICA has had her valiant missionary pioneers, English and American, German and French—men whose names we, their successors, can only pronounce with profound veneration. “There were giants in those days,” One of them, M. Arbousset, when he first set foot on African soil, beheld the mighty ramparts of Table Mountain towering above him. To his eyes it symbolised the power of that paganism he had come to attack in the name of his God; and he exclaimed, “Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain.” 1
