Author Description

Excerpt from My Travels in North West Rhodesia, or a Missionary Journey of Sixteen Thousand Miles South Central Missions. The European Missionaries usually spent a time at Aliwal North before going forward to the scene Of their work. The first party spent six months with us; the next was with us during the whole period Of the Boer war; for just as they were ready to go forward the war broke out, and all the roads were closed. Some of them came to us on furlough. So we not only got to know the men but their work also. We could not, therefore, help feeling a great interest in our Zambesi Mission; and had we been 'a few years younger we should have offered ourselves for work there. But failing this we conceived a great desire to visit the country; and often told both Europeans and natives that we should surely come some day and see them at their work.
