"Open Africa to Progress and the Gospel"
Livingstone's Desire
Not a sacfafice but a Privalage
"A prospect is now before us of opening Africa for commerse and the Gospel. Providence has been preparing the way,... my object is to go up the Zabezi and preech the gospel."
"My desire is to open up a path to this distict {Zambesi}, that civiliztaion, commerce, and Christianity might find their way there."
"For my own part, I have never ceased to rejoice that God has appointed me to such an office. People talk of the sacrifice I have made spending so much of my life in Afirca. Can that be a called a sacrafice which is simply paid back as a small part of a great debt owing to our God, which we can never repay?... Away with such a view, and with such a though! It is emphatatically no sacfafice. Say rather a priavallage."
