our love to God. For divine love and humility are not mere 
sentiments, but rather possessions, so that the world does not 
judge wrongly of one who loves his enemy, or willingly humbles 
himself. 
David's life had clouds, but his eyes saw onward to the coming 
day, the clear morning, the morning without a cloud. 
NEED OF CHANGE OF DIET. 
On the whole, the country is rocky and arid, though along 
the rivers the ground is very fertile and productive. Maize- 
corn is ripe the third month after sowing, and during the rains 
the grass or other rank vegetation grows so rapidly that footpaths 
are obHterated, and a guide is needed, where at another time 
there is a broad, well-beaten track. 
January 2nd. — Last month, after finishing the planting of my 
garden, I found myself in rather a bad way for food, especially 
meat. Porridge, without milk or sugar, night and morning, day 
after day, is apt to pall on one's stomach, in spite of every brave 
resolution. So I started with my gun and a few men for the 
Lukuruwe river, and by the way I shot a wild boar, with tusks a 
foot long; the meat of this animal I sent back to keep the 
" family " going. At the Lukuruwe I managed to kill, after a good 
deal of hunting, eight antelopes, three zebras, and two immense 
hippopotami. 
I found on my return that my grass hut had been broken into 
in my absence, probably by some hungry Bihe porter, and that I 
had been robbed of a large double blanket, sack of corn, towel, 
shirt, pillow, etc. The blanket is my chief loss, as I now have 
left to me only a threadbare, worn-out affair, which has done 
service from the east side of the continent. 
DELIVERANCES. 
While at the Lukuruwe I had a narrow escape. I had been 
resting during the heat of the day, my bed being on the ground. 
When about to get up I reached out for my hat, intending to go 
outside, when whiz came a spear into my hut, cutting through the 
rim of my hat, which was in my hand, and sticking into the 
ground not three inches from my side.
