ere held. Then it was taken to
Duke Town. Here another service was held. Then the coffin was carried to
the beautiful cemetery on Mission Hill. From this place could be seen a
large part of the city where Mary had begun her faithful missionary work in
Africa. Around her grave the grateful natives gathered and wept for her
who had wept and prayed over them.
"Do not cry, do not cry," said old Ma Fuller, Mary's native friend through
the years. "Praise God for His blessings. Ma was a great blessing."
First the Africans called her "the white Ma who lives alone." Then they
called her "the Ma who loves babies." But lastly they called her "#eka
kpukpru owo#," "everybody's Mother."

WHITE QUEEN OF THE
CANNIBALS
The Story of Mary Slessor
By A.J. Bueltmann
When Mary was young, she heard her mother read about the dangers and
rewards of missionary work in Calabar, Africa. This challenged Mary
Slessor's young heart and she determined to serve her Lord there. _White
Queen of the Cannibals_ records her courage as a missionary to the worst
of pagans. The story is simply told that it might inspire children to
Christian service.
NOT ALONE By Eunice V. Pike
Many hundreds of languages in the world today have never been reduced to
writing. Uncounted thousands of people cannot read God's Word. The work of
Wycliffe Bible Translators is to master the language of a tribe, reduce it
to writing, and then teach the people to read the Scriptures--in their own
tongue. Eunice Pike recounts her years spent with the Mazatec Indians in
Mexico, giving them God's Word.
CLIMBING By Rosalind Goforth
After returning home from many years of missionary service in China,
Rosalind Goforth reflects on those incidents that most affected her life
for Christ. Written to display the mercy of the Lord and "to help others
face life's hard problems," the author recalls her experiences from
childhood to retirement--a life of constant _climbing_.
