JOURNEY IN SNEUBERG. 
were composed of huge rocky cliffs ; the lower part of 
the hollow was covered with gardens and fields, where 
the orange trees grew luxuriantly ; and in the middle a 
river glided gently along. In the evening I preached to 
the people through my usual interpreters. 
I6th. In the morning, being the Lord's day, Mr. 
K. preached to the white people in the house, while 
Mr. R. preached without, at our waggons, to slaves, 
Hottentots, and Bushmen. Some of our Hottentots 
were very active in doing good here, and at other 
places, to the slaves and to their brethren. In the 
evening Mr. R. preached again at the waggons. On 
finishing his discourse, he asked Cupido and Boosak 
(converted Hottentots) to speak to the people if they 
were so inclined. Both addressed the heathen. Boosak 
said to them, Before the missionaries came to us, 
we were as ignorant of every thing as you are now. I 
thought then I was the same as a beast ; that when I 
died there would be an end of me : but after hearing 
them I found I had a soul that must be happy or 
miserable for ever. Then I became afraid to die. I 
was afraid to take a gun into my hand lest it should 
kill me, or to meet a serpent lest it should bite me. I 
was afraid then to go to the hills to hunt lions or 
elephants, lest they should devour me. But when I 
heard of the Son of God having come into the world 
to die for sinners, all that fear went away. I took my 
gun again, and without fear of death went to hunt 
lions and tygers, and elephants. You shall soon have 
an opportunity to be taught the same things."
