Fcebleness of Savage Man.

Here in South Africa the native
races seem to have made no progress
for centuries, if indeed they have
not actually gone backward, and the
feebleness of savage man intensifiec
ones sense of the overmastering
strength Of nature. The elephant
and the rlIinoceros and the giraffe
Are as much the masters of the soil
as is the Kafiir, and man has no
right to claim that the land
was made for him than have the
wild beasts of the forest who roar
after their prey and seek their meat
from God. Professor James Bryce,
