For the book was the Bible which Livingstone all through his heroic exploring of Africa read each day. So Livingstone passed on from the village; but this boy Khama never forgot him, and in time as we shall see other white men came and taught Khama himself to read that same book and worship that same God. The Fight with the Lion Meanwhile strange adventures came to the growing young Khama.
The lift-man was equally eager to procure one, but again Jan defeated his desire and walked out into the hot street. Somehow she couldn't bear "The Garden of Khama" just then. It was Hugo Tancred's favourite verse, and was among the few books Fay appeared to possess, Fay who was lying in the English cemetery, and so glad to be there ... at twenty-five.
Peace over all, and the consciousness of nearness, Charity removing the remoteness of the gods; Spirit of compassion breathing with new clearness "There's a limit set to khama; there's a surcease from the rods."
He heard that a great all Africa aeroplane route was planned after the Great War. At once he offered to make a great aerodrome, and the day at last came when Khama eighty-five years old who had seen Livingstone, the first white man to visit his tribe stood watching the first aeroplane come bringing a young officer from the clouds.
At night the cries of beaten women rose, and the weird chants of incantations and of foul unclean dances were heard. Khamane called the older men together around his fire. Pots of beer passed from hand to hand. As the men grew fuddled they became bolder and more boastful. Khamane then spoke to them and said, "Why should Khama rule you? Remember he forbids you to make and to drink beer.
These were the days that you heard of in the last story, when Khama, seeing his tribe attacked by the fierce Lobengula, rode out on horseback at the head of his regiment of cavalry and fought them and beat them, and drove away Lobengula with a bullet in his neck. For two years Shomolekae, learning to read better every day, and serving John Mackenzie faithfully in his house, lived at Shoshong.
In the flat below a lady was singing the "Indian Love Lyrics" from the "Garden of Khama." She had a powerful voice and sang with considerable passion. Less than the dust beneath thy chariot wheel, Less than the rust that never stained thy sword. Jan frowned and fidgeted. The song went on, finished, and then the lady sang it all over again.
"The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, Make His paths straight," and African boys singing in their own tongue words that sum up the whole life of David Livingstone. "He hath sent me to heal the broken-hearted, To preach deliverance to the captives." Livingstone. Khama
In a few days one of the white traders had locked himself into his house in drunken delirium, naked and raving. Morning after morning Khama rose before daybreak to try and get to the man when he was sober, but all the time he was drunk. Then one morning this man gathered other white men together in a house and they sat drinking and then started fighting one another.
The intelligent chief, Khama, visited England in that year, mainly in order to protest against the annexation of his lands by Cape Colony and by the South Africa Company. In this he was successful; he and other chiefs are directly under the protection of the Crown, but parts of the north and east of Bechuanaland are administered by the British South Africa Company.
