189075399Boston: Baptist Missionary Society 1890. Original stiff printed cad. The front shows a steam-powered stern-wheel riverboat steaming up the Congo Rive . There are two local people standing on the shore seeming to cheer them on. On the top right in an image of Adam McCall "one of the first missionaries to the Congo." In the upper left in the circular seal of the American Baptist Missionary Union. Someone has penciled "Winter of 1890" on the left margin. The recto contains a map of the Congo and its environs. Some old glue reside on the map side else a very good copy."It is generally known that the American Baptist Missionary Union has a steamer on the Upper Congo River for the purpose of aiding in carrying on the missionary work in Central Africa. The funds for building the steamer were furnished by a benevolent lady in Tasmania and it was named the “ Henry Reed†in memory of her deceased husband. It is a beautiful vessel and has proved very serviceable and well adapted to the navigation of the Upper Congo and its tributaries which furnish an uninterrupted navigable waterway of five thousand miles in the interior of Africa. To support the steamer and to carry on the missionary work which it is intended to do will require several thousand dollars annually. To provide these funds "The Henry Reed Steamboat Company†has been formed. Ten cents will constitute any one a stockholder in the company for one year; and all annual stockholders will receive a certificate with a picture of the steamer and a map of the Congo Free State. The payment of one dollar will constitute any one a stockholder in the Steamboat Company for life and a neat certificate will be given. Those who have been stockholders in the Company for ten years will receive a certificate of life membership on returning their ten annual certificates and the annual certificates will also be receivable at any time for ten cents each toward a life membership. Any one who has been a stockholder for five years can become a life stockholder by returning their five annual certificates and paying fifty cents; or any number of annual certificates may be sent which will be counted at ten cents each toward a life membership the remainder of the one dollar to be paid in cash.We are confident this Steamboat Company will be received with great favor especially by the boys and girls in the Sunday schools and mission bands. Superintendents teachers and leaders of mission bands are invited to receive payments for certificates and forward them and the certificates will be sent in return" Baptist Missionary Magazine vol. 67.
