Be inspired by his 14 years in Africa, far from luxury.Alexander Mackay, Uganda’s White Man of Work, was so named by the natives because of his unceasing physical labor. In 1875, only slaves and women worked in Uganda. To see a man working hard from day to day was indeed a novelty. From far and near, natives came to watch him sharpen hoes, dig a well, or fashion a coffin. This gave him opportunities to teach the people to whom he had come to bring the Gospel.Fourteen years in Africa brought many hardships to Mr. Mackay. Luxury was far from him, and he often lacked even what we regard as common comforts. Late and early he toiled under the equatorial sun.Many of those he had so patiently taught, and had come to love as his own brothers, he saw sent to cruel torture and death for their faith. For months at a time, he lived not knowing when his own life might be taken.When Alexander Mackay laid down his life at the age of forty-one, it had not been in vain. He had faithfully sown the Word, and the Lord had given the increase. The church of Jesus Christ had a foothold in Central Africa. Faithful Christians of Uganda would carry on the work.
