Jacot used to get through was, to me, amazing, and I think the Ogowe Protestant mission sadly short- handed its missionaries not being content to follow the usual Protestant plan out in West Africa, namely, quietly sitting down and keeping house, with just a few native children indoors to do the housework, and close by a school and a little church where a service is held on Sundays.
