SAMUEL CROWTHER

The Slave Boy who became

BISHOP OF THE NIGER

 

BY

JESSE PAGE

 

 

From out the darkness gleamed a single star,
And lo! the tempest driven hailed its light;
So from the gloom of Afric, shone afar
The witness of the Lord, a blessed sight
Which many grateful saw, and kneeling there
Heard first the tidings of Salvation near.
