This Dr.S.A.Marshall was a brother-in-law to Isaac Errett, and always deeply interested himself in this work of building up the churches.

The church at Pardee was also represented.
And this constituted the make-up of our first missionary society.
Three churches represented, and enough persons decently to fill a little seven-by-nine log school-house.

Let us learn not to despise the day of small things.

As for the amount of money pledged--well, it would not have frightened even one of those little ones, that are scared out of their wits at the thought of an over-paid, over-fed, proud, luxurious and domineering priesthood.

As for the missionary chosen to go on this forlorn hope--to explore this Africa of spiritual darkness, it was Hobson's choice; it was this or none.
