Most of the time on the road was spent with the Kaffirs only, and as he understood but little of their language as yet he was -consequently shut up to "converse only with Him whose ear is ever open to us. This," Arnot says, "has turned my solitude| into very precious time, and I can say to His praise that I never felt more free from all care and anxious thought than now. I wonder how it is that Satan has so managed to blindfold me in the past, that my whole life has not been one note of praise. Oh, stir up every child Of God you meet to praise our God more. We little know; '.how much we rob Him by our sad hearts and dull, thankless lives. The Lord has been teaching me a little of the awful sin of unthankfulness. Two great reasons why God gave up those of old to uncleanness and darkness were, that they glorified Him not as God, neither were thankful."-Extracts from "the life and explorations or F. S. Arnot" (p. 24).
