Book Description

Excerpt from Egypt's Princes: A Narrative of Missionary Labor in the Valley of the Nile The Egyptian proverb says, "Cast him into the Nile and he will come up with a fish in his mouth." Without laying claim to the uniformly lucky character which this proverb describes, I may say that having been providentially delayed in this country a few months longer than I anticipated, the present volume is the result. Unable to sustain the wear and tear and excitement of a tour through the churches, to inform those interested in our mission work, of what the Lord has done in opening the door of faith to the descendants of Ham, I trust I have not been presumptuous in the hope that in this way I could best serve His cause in that land. This volume does not pretend to give a complete view of the work in Egypt; it describes only one of its departments. This department I am conscious furnishes a field for stirring narrative, and the description of exciting personal adventure, which might not be found in our more settled work in Alexandria and Cairo.
