Chapter XVI: A Church 354

Reality versus romance in missions—Arrival of the steamer—Adventure
in a canoe—An Apollo Belvidere in ebony—A sensational call to
worship—A white man’s foot—A prayer that caused a panic—Not
wickedness, but worms—The right hand, or the left?—“Dawn of the
Morning”—M’abune Jésu—Keeping the Sabbath—The harvest—The Jesuits—A
building not made with hands—“O’er crag and torrent.”
