ABSTRACT

Sechele's country. Khama was now at Shoshong, and chief of the Bamangwato and the subject tribes. F ever, famine, fire, and warrefugees everywhere, north, south, east, and west. Surely the Lord's hand will stay. . . . Khama will have nothing to do with rainmakz'ng. He will compel no one to attend his religion, but neither will he pay any respect to their old heathen customs. Almost all the

old people who accompanied him to the river had died there. The old men who had remained at Shoshong with Khamane and Sekhome, and who did not go out to fight, are living, and they are as deep in their heathenish customs as ever they were. They tried hard to re-establish the old rites, but could not succeed. Khama remained firm. He held his Christian services at the digging and sowing time, and his thanksgiving for first fruits.
