Note 29 — SELF-SACRIFICING SPIRIT OF THE MISSIONARY.
Reading edition
This letter was written in the fall of 1841. Miss Chapin, afterwards Mrs. Savage, embarked for Africa on the twenty-eighth of the following January, and reached Cape Palmas on the twenty-fifth of March. As might be anticipated, her labors soon closed. She died on the field, in December, 1843.
"That life is long which answers life's great end."
