AS we go from village to village, we are able to preach the gospel to large numbers of attentive Batemas. Usually, after the service, we sit and visit about the camp fire. One evening, after we had retired, leaving the natives still sitting around the fire, we heard one of them say: "See this white man. He comes from a place where everything is clean and white, and here he finds everything dirty and black. He does not come here for what he can get from us, but to show us the way of God."
Game and wild animals are very plentiful. Almost every evening and early morning, one can hear the lions roaring. Early one morning, we started for a kraal twelve miles away. Soon we discovered that we had missed the path. While I was searching for it apart from the others, a big leopard jumped up just in front of me, and walked off. I stood unarmed and alone, and watched it. One of the boys came running, crying, "Leopard! Leopard!" But being on the Lord's business, I knew He would protect me.
