Brought By Faithful Hands

Over Land And Sea

Here Rests

David Livingstone,

Missionary,

Traveller,

Philanthropist,

Born March 19, 1813,

At Blantyre, Lanarkshire,

Died May 1, 1873,

At Chitambo's Village, Ulala

For 30 Years His Life Was Spent

In An Unwearied Effort

To Evangelize the Native Races,

To Explore the Undiscovered Secrets,

To Abolish the Devastating Slave Trade,

of Central Africa,

Where With His Last Words He Wrote,

"All I Can Add In My Solitude, Is,

May Heaven's Rich Blessing Come Down

On Everyone, American, English, or Turk

Who Will Help to Heal

This Open Sore of the World."
