The Life and Letters of Samuel Norvell Lapsley: Missionary to the Congo Valley, West Africa 1866-1892 is a comprehensive account of the life and work of Samuel Norvell Lapsley, an American Presbyterian missionary who dedicated his life to spreading the gospel in the Congo Valley. Written by Lapsley himself, the book chronicles his journey from his early days as a student at Princeton Theological Seminary, to his arrival in the Congo in 1866, and his subsequent work as a missionary in the region until his death in 1892.The book is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on Lapsley’s life and work in the Congo Valley, including his experiences with the local people, his efforts to establish schools and churches, and his struggles with illness and adversity. The second part of the book contains a collection of Lapsley’s letters, which provide a firsthand account of his experiences and insights into the challenges and rewards of missionary work in Africa.Throughout the book, Lapsley’s deep faith and commitment to his mission are evident, as he describes his efforts to share the gospel with the people of the Congo and to improve their lives through education and social reform. The book offers a unique perspective on the history of Christian missions in Africa, and provides a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of missionary work or the history of the Congo Valley.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
