Excerpt from Under the Crescent, and Among the Kraals: A Study of Methodism in Africa These chapters do not constitute a report or a summary of reports of Methodist work in Africa. Rather they are designed to assemble a setting for the activities of our missions there. While the Operations of the church at large are outlined, par ticular emphasis is laid upon those of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society among the women and children of that dark land. The incidents related are largely drawn from the actual experience of our own missionaries. Personal observations by the author in North Africa have been utilized in portraying this Mohammedan field. Authorities have been widely consulted and, where material is used, credit is given in the text. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
