ELIAJAH MAKIWANEKwi-autobiography engekapapashwa ka-1935 enomdla onomxholo othi Out of Darkness: From Cattle-Herding to the Editor's Chair (qaphela i-echo ka-Booker T. Washington iUp From Slavery), u-RV Selope Thema (1886-1955) ubhala ngomzuzu ochukumisayo xa njengenkwenkwe ekwishumi elivisayo ekupheleni kwenkulugwane ezilishumi elinesithoba okokuqala wabeka amehlo akhe kuEliajah Makiwane owayethunyelwe yiFree Church of Scotland eLovedale ukuba ayohlola ukusasazeka kobuKristu kwindawo apho ilali kaThema yayikhona. ‘Sithe xa singena ecaweni, abavangeli ababini ababehleli phambi kwebandla, kwakukho ukuthula okuncomekayo okwandenza ndaziva ndisoyika. Siye sahlala phantsi phambi kwalamadoda mabini ayebonakala ehloniphekile, endandicinga ukuba ohlukile kunathi sonke. Umnumzana uMakiwane waye ntsundu, enxibe iimpahla zabefundisi wandinika iingcinga zokuba nguye oyena mntu untsundu emhlabeni. UMnumzan' uStuart wayekhangeleka emhlophe kunabo bonke abantu abamhlophe endake ndababona ngaphambili, mhlawumbi kungokuba wayecocekile, engena nwele ebusweni kwaye enxibe kakuhle. Kodwa konke oku ndakuchaza ngenxa yokuba babengamadoda kaThixo. Kuba ebusweni babo kwakukho imbonakaliso yobubele njengoko ndingazange ndibone ebusweni bomntu. Ndachukumiseka; Ndandinomdla. Kwaye xa uMnumzana Makiwane ethandaza ngesiXhosa ndamva, ngokutolika uMokele Raphela, ethandazela amadoda nabafazi, amakhwenkwe namantombazana, ababesebumnyameni, ndavuya kakhulu kwaye intelekelelo yam yavuseleleka."IMITHOMBO YOLWAZI'
