BiographyJWH: "He was secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association for many years and for the last eleven years superintendent of the African Inland Mission, British East Africa, and has had great success in that work, planting many missionary stations. His family went with him when he went out last in 1901. The wife and daughter, Alta Beth, are efficient assistants. He had reduced the native language of that section to writing and print and translated hymns and many parts of the Bible and other books and organized schools with competent teachers. He has special gifts or talent for this kind of work, having a pleasing personality, and masterful spirit that makes it possible to guide and control as a wise parent or teacher would a child or student or as a general might lead an army. He has had gratifying success and at this writing (1911) is at home for the recuperation of health and to furnish opportunity for the education of his children."; p. 274: 'The five children were in Africa nine years.
