The missions of the Board have been two — the Ga- boon mission in West Africa, near the equator, and the Zulu mission in South Africa, toward the Cape. They are interesting in quality rather than in quantity. They show how the gospel can struggle with the mightiest of obstacles, and what it can do for the most degraded of characters. The Gaboon mission need not detain us long. Its operations have been small, obstructed, and interrupted ;• and the mission is now transferred to the Presbyterian B...oard. In the year 1834, John Leighton Wilson landed at Cape Palmas to explore the place where, in the follow- ing year, he landed with his wife, and was received with joyful acclamations by the natives. Here he erected a framed house, which he had brought from Americaj opened a school, and began a book in the native tongue. Other missionaries followed — Messrs. White, Walker, Gris- wold, and Alexander Wilson, with their wives. The mission was headgd for the interior. The plan was to make tliis the entering-wedge for a great system of in- land operations.
