Missionary Teaches in South Africa on Boers
The Rev. E. J. Dent, long in charge of a copal mission in Blue Rapids, spent twelve years in South Africa teaching at Bloemfontein and Grahamstown. He says the Boers were lazy and unintelligent, and would not Christianize the Kafirs. If a Kaffir entered a Transvaal church he would be driven out.
