Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sketches of Our Life at Sarawak: With Map
I dare say, when we first settled at Sarawak, we thought that twenty years would plant Christian communities, and build Christian Churches all over the country but it is as well that we cannot over look the future and perhaps, considering the many difficulties which arose from time to time, from the missionaries themselves, and the unsettled country in which they laboured, we ought not to expect more results than have appeared. At any rate we have much to be thankful for, and as every year makes Sarawak a more important State, consolidates its Government, and extends civiliza tion to its subjects, we may look for more success for the missionaries, who can now point to the peace and prosperity of the people, and say, This is the fruit of Christianity and Christian rulers.
