The Life and Work of Dr. Moffat

ONE of the most devoted missionaries of this century recently died in London. Dr. Moffat went to southern Africa in 1816, and made the moral elevation of the Bechuanas the object of the work of his life. He thoroughly identified himself with them, living in their midst more than half a century. He translated the Testament and Psalms into their tongue, and had the happy privilege of seeing them changed from a wandering tribe to an agricultural people, many of them becoming Christians. David Livingstone, the African explorer and missionary, was son-in-law to Dr. Moffat. There is a lesson in such a life as his.
