South Africa

By Minnie Cornwell-Chaney

PLUMSTEAD, NEAR CAPE TOWN.—I have been here at the sanitarium for about three months. I do praise the Lord for sparing my life, and for the degree of health which he has given me; but I hope to gain much more before I return to Basutoland. Plumstead has a delightful climate, and is a beautiful place in which to recuperate in summer. I am glad, too, that we have a sanitarium here. Dr. Thomason’s coming to Africa has made our hearts glad, for we were in such need of a physician.
There has been a drought in Basutoland. But we have had some rain recently, for which we are thankful; but we hope for more. It is quite hot there in summer, and there are severe thunder-storms in that season. Soon after Mr. Chaney returned from Plumstead, there was a thunder-storm, in which the lightning struck our house twice, striking it in three different places. Remember us in your prayers.
