Title: "In Christ's stead"
Description: The autobiographical sketches in Moore's book cover her wide-ranging work as a white missionary in America and the philosophy of service that was of primary importance to her. Her work in Ohio, Arkansas, and New Orleans is detailed, with her efforts concentrating on educational programs among freed slaves and among temperance societies. The second half of the book focuses on new plans of education, including home schooling and "Bible Bands," which she worked out as supplements to Sabbath schools. Her last work in Arkansas developed a neighborhood ministry from women to children.
