Twenty-Five Years in Qua Iboe - The Story of a Missionary Effort in Nigeria #266065

The first history of the work in Qua Iboe, compiled by Mr. Robert M'Cann, was printed as a small booklet early in 1891. A second and larger edition appeared about five years later. The book, entitled, "In the Land of the Oil Rivers" - of which over 5,000 copies were sold - published in 1902, contained a more comprehensive account of the country, and a greatly extended narrative of the Mission.<br><br>We have now reached the twenty-fifth anniversary of Mr. Bill's first sailing, for West Africa, and it is felt that the time is opportune for the issue of a fresh record. The reception accorded to "The Land of the Oil Rivers," encourages us to believe that the new book will have a wide circle of sympathetic readers.<br><br>"In the Land of the Oil Rivers" was the means of enlisting the co-operation of many new friends. It came into the hands of one person who was led to render very considerable help.
