To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And, " she added, " if there were only a house built, any other agent could come and take up the work if I fail. " In the same number of the Record there appeared an appeal by the Foreign Mission Committee for " a practical carpenter, with an interest in Christian work, " for Calabar. There happened to be in Edinburgh at this time a carpenter named Mr. Charles Ovens, belonging to the Free Church, who was keenly hit crested in foreign missions. As a boy he had wished to be a missionary, but beli...eving that only ministers could hold such a post he relinquished the idea. He was an experienced tradesman of the fine old type, a Scot of Scots, with the happy knack of looking on the bright side of things. Having been in America on 91 a prolonged visit he was about to return there, and had gone to say good-bye to an old lady friend, a United Presby- terian. The latter remarked to him, " I see Miss Slessor wants a man to put in her doors and windows why don't you go to Calabar ? " He had never heard of Miss Slessor, but the suggestion struck him as good, and he straightway saw the Foreign Mission Secretary, and then went and changed the address on his baggage.
