weavers Of that region. Tucked
in the bag beside the stones
was an eight-page manuscript,
The Story of the Stones" q
diary Of the Ross trip. When
they went out to Africa as mis-
sionaries in 1918, the journey
took ~ days. In 1855, they
could fiy it in less than SO
hours.
There are many other
changes. As I inspected d piece
of white granite from the
pyramids. ] read the Rosses'
thoughts on Egypt today:
Women are lifting the wells
from their faces. They need
to, and so do we in America
in regard to many of our
neighbors overseas as well as
some Of our problems at home
that so effect not only our lives
in the United States but our
leadership overseas"
One Of the largest stones in
collection was picked up in
q Mau Mau camp in troubled
Kenya. And In the diary there's
a note about the Christian
Kikuyu, who with his followers
has refused to use violence to
obtain the freedom and parti-
archal lands they feel entitled
to, and another about the Bit
. terness and dull hatred on the
faces Of interned Mau Mau
who have been put through
indoctrination to make them
kill without discrimination"
Thousands have given their
lives because they would not
join the movement and. add
the RoSses. there is an aWak-
ening to q determination for
building a multiracial society
with rights and justice for all. /"
A laya-like black rock from
Nigeria reminded the R0sses
to record in their diary some
of the unusual signs on Nige-
rian buses: God is Good: -
Telephone to heaven. May
the Lord watch between you
and me. but you more than
me-"
They found q special sermon
in one stone--a white frag-
ment from the Dead Sea.
This sea is dead because it
has no outlet" they wrote. "It
cannot give out OF the rich-
ness II takes In from the Jor-
dan River. No fish live in it.
Trees do not grow close to its
banks. It Is dead because 1t
only receives and does not
give"
