d their first progenitor had come direct from Heaven, and we baser creatures had to be content with an earthly sire. I can prove as ancient a descent for myself, though the names of my intermediate progenitors between Adam and my grandfathers, Moses and John, have not been preserved. My family belonged to a class always strangely indifferent to written pedigrees, which relied more on oral traditions, the preserving of which has been mostly the duties of females, on account of their superiores, dark stockings, and long Melton coat, with a clean-shaven face, rather round, and lit up by humorous grey eyes. He and I occupied the top floor, which had an independent entrance from the garden. The lower rooms were inhabited by my uncles, Moses and Thomas. By-and-bye, there came a change. My strong, one-armed Uncle Moses married a woman named Kitty, a flaxen-haired, fair girl of a decided temper; and after that event we seldom descended to the lower apartments. I have a vivid remem

. Let me see; there was John, the eldest son, Moses, and Thomas, and there were the daughters, Mar families the same. I don't like this whim of Moses' at all. In the first place, it is disrespect ssarily secure him promotion. Her second son, Moses, had graduated with honours at Carnarvon Colleperverting his original intentions towards me. Moses was absolute over his brother David and myselfay that his mother showed her pride in her son Moses, her son was proud of his mother's fine qualit and right-judging woman. A pity it is that Moses did not pursue the shorter and nobler course wed by a growing belief in my worthlessness, or Moses, tired with his self-imposed task of teaching ation for him more suited for his capacities. Moses appears to have required time to heat himself aused inward bleeding. I used to think that Moses was a grand scholar, but I got to believe that of the Church, and was three times older than Moses — could unbend so far as to challenge us Workh[1 more...]

bliged to unbutton and mop their faces, and they looked exceedingly uncomfortable. Then it was that I conquered my reserve, and spoke, and offered oranges, water, sandwiches, etc. Their shyness vanished, they ate and laughed and enjoyed themselves, and I with them. The pipes and cigars came next, and, being entertainer, as it were, I did my best for the sake of good fellowship, and I talked of Goshen, Pithom, A city of Egypt mentioned in Exodus i, 11, along with Rameses. and Rameses, Moses' Wells, and what not. We came at last to Suez, and, being known at the hotel, I was at once served with a room. While I was washing, I heard voices. I looked up; my room was separated from the next by an eight-foot partition. In the next room were my young friends of the journey, and they were speaking of me! Old is the saying that listeners hear no good of themselves; but, had I been a leper or a pariah, I could not have been more foully and slanderously abused. This is the third tim

on, the eagerness of his manner, the enthusiasm he displayed when the wonders of civilisation were broached to him, tempted me to introduce the subject of Christianity, and I delayed my departure from Uganda much longer than prudence counselled, to impress the first rudimentary lessons on his mind. I did not attempt to confuse him with any particular doctrine, nor did I broach abtruse theological subjects, which I knew would only perplex him. The simple story of the Creation as related by Moses, the revelation of God's power to the Israelites, their delivery from the Egyptians, the wonderful miracles He wrought in behalf of the children of Abraham, the appearance of prophets at various times foretelling the coming of Christ; the humble birth of the Messiah, His wonderful life, woeful death, and the triumphant resurrection,--were themes so captivating to the intelligent pagan, that little public business was transacted, and the seat of justice was converted into an alcove where only
