King Khama’s Simple Christian Counsel

On one of King Khama’s trips to Cape Town, South Africa, he was urged to make an address at a missionary meeting. The story is told that he refused at first, as he was not a public speaker, but on being urged, he finally yielded, and this is what he said: “I am going to Cape Town because the high commissioner has sent for me. I do not know what he wants, but I obey his summons. So you must obey the words of Jesus Christ.” An exchange, commenting on this, says: “How simple, yet how great, how thoroughly Christian!”
