A BIT OF GOOD SALT 
77 
to go over and do this particular bit of work. 
There were many delightful tit-bits in one's experi- 
ences, but the greatest satisfaction and pleasure 
came to me through Anie Kofon's zeal and jealousy 
for the Lord of Hosts. It was impossible to doubt 
that he was the Christian conscience — the* good salt 
of the depleted township. It is of such as he that 
the words of the prophet were certainly written : 
A man shall be a hiding-place from the wind, a 
covert from the tempest, as the shadow of a great 
rock in a weary land, and a shelter in the time of 
storm." Anie Kofon's name never stood as high 
as that of the big chiefs and wealthy natives of his 
own land, but I am certain that he was one in 
whom Christ was well pleased, accounting him as 
belonging to those who are the salt of the earth.
