Excerpt from A Congo Chattel: The Story of an African Slave Girl A congo chattel is not simply a story. It is a message and an appeal. It will cause a tug on the heart-strings of one who loves 'the Lord Jesus Christ, and make him wish he could plunge at once into the midst of Africa's darkness and seek to set some prisoners free. It will encourage some who may have begun to wonder whether foreign mis sions are, after all, worth the sacrifice involved. It will surely stir every honest Christian reader to earnest prayer that the day of Africa's bondage may speedily end. Mr. Campbell does not expect a wholesale uplift of the degraded masses of Africa by any utilitarian schemes, so popular in our day, which leave out of account the fact that the individual lost soul is dead in trespasses and sins and can only be quickened by a living faith in the Christ who died but lives again. He has seen what commerce and education and industrial advancement have accomplished but turns from them all with the firm conviction that nothing but the Gospel of Jesus Christ will save Africa's millions, one by one.
