Abstract
What is my object… I have no other end in view but the glory of God … the salvation of my soul and that of my fellow creatures. … I am deeply convinced … that if Africa could be raised from its present degraded state of barbarism, superstition, and vice, to any equal with the civilized world, recourse must be had to the native agencies. Africans themselves must be the principal harbingers of peace.
George Nicol to J. Warburton, 12 April 1844. C.M.S. CAI/0614
