Excerpt from A Memoir of the Rev. W. A. B. Johnson: Missionary of the Church Missionary Society, in Regent's Town, Sierra Leone, Africa But, as the office is the noblest that can be named among men, so is it to be expected that many should be found to come short of it. Few, indeed, in these luxurious days, take up the apostolic office in an apostolic spirit. There are, among Missionaries, as well as among disciples generally, those who have no root, but in time of temptation fall away - those who are choked with the cares and pleasures Of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection. On this account, as well as in order to glorify God in the works wrought by his servant, it seems highly desirable, when aman of an 'excellent spirit has been raised up, and given to the Church, to put on record a faithful delineation of his labours and their reward, both for the reproof and correction of those who fall short, and for the encouragement of those who are pressing after. It has seemed to some, that, among all whom God has thus qualified and sent forth into his vineyard, there has scarcely been found one whose example is more likely to benefit the Church, than that of william johnson. And in this belief, the present Memorial is attempted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
