7 ,_ - T H E r 0 U N D A T I 0 N. l I i, \ )\ I 3 Soul Mining in Southern Rhodesia.. \ \. - By RE\. L. E. ADl\INS. RHODESIA / THE history of Southern Rhodesia docs not date back sufficiently far to tell of the early beginnings of the gold mining industry. The cave dwellers had scarcely vacated their natural apartments when civilized man began "digging in" elsewhere. until today some hills appear to be honeycombed with old and new workings. Just when the work began may ne\er be known. It is said that when Vasco da Gama first rounded the Cape of Good Hope and sailed up the East coast, he found natives at Sofala. a port in what is now Mozambique. with gold that came from the North\1 cst, most likrl y from Rhodesia. If these hills and \ alleys could speak, what stories they could tell of the courageous spirits of the prospectors. tljt ir undaunted faith, their inspiring hope that freshened every night and led them to continue to believe that the rich reef Jay just beyond or a Iii tic deeper. If the deep gashe, on the earths surface could talk.they could tell of wasted energy and buried millions of dollars. to say nothing of the bodies mangled by falling stones or blown into shreds by blasting dynamite. \Vhat expense. \Vhat wastage! All in the s,<1rch for the gold 1h.11 perisheth. Soul mining is a more recent denlopment in this par! of the world. Money and energy. in incs1imablc amounts, have been expended in this wond, tful 1.1sk of bringing 10 thc surf.ice of sordid and and unpromising!iycs the valuable virlues that lay hidden there. \Ve cannot say that every claim s1.1hc d for Gnd!l.ls produced up lo our c xpcd.1- tions. bu1 smcly no one who h.1s had even.1 small amount of ljqiericnce in thi~ grc at worh of soul winning will say th.ii it is e\cn 11.1Jf as ri~k y as I he I.1 borious. ex pensi w and of ten un profi1.1 bk work of digging out 111«gold of c.11 th.

About ten da)s later I visit, d another stat10n. It was class-meeting day and the leader was my friend James Chikusi. one of those who had returned from Samanga. He was giving bis report. In his graphic way he told how they had. figurati\cly speaking. dug in many different places in the country of Samanaga but in vain. 1\t last they lis1, ncd... and they heard 01ces saying faintly. "\Ve arc here-we arc here. They began digging at once. and by prayer, and song. and preaching, and faith they removed stones.111d brought out the souls. One hundred and lift Y six showed their rt newed lo\c for God and His church. I encouraged JanHS to visit the stations gi\ing his report. The native Christians were so much interested that they have sent in from several stations collections amounting 10 $ Very little of this was paid by rnissionari, s. To tlzc llartlest Places Soul mining. as in the Jigging out of the earths treasures. cannot always be done in comfortabk environment. It is sometimls "to the hardest of places." He calls, His ser\ants go. Blessed is that sen ant who says, "No matter how deep. dark. damp, discouraging or dangerous the mine m.1y be. at Thy word. Lord, Ill go down." A few days ago. Elijah, one of my young pastor-teachers. came to my door and said that he work. He had recently been appointed to a station at Rupinda. but be had been told by a former teacher that it was no pl.1c, for a single man to go. I knew that the station was at the foot of a very steep mountain that could be descended only by means of "shanks mares." I had gone up and down thae m.111y time~ and worn blisters on my feet. I also knew of sonh critical members in that church. So I sent him 10 the District Superintendent, lvlr. Ivlurphre~. Bro. ivlurphn e having heard that Elijah was wishing to quit, postponed the final decision by arranging an intt rview between Elijah and onl of the young men in school here at Old Umtali. After the two young men had finished their pri,-.ite conference of prayer, Elijah emerged with a light in his face. His eyes were moist as he s.iid. "Ill go te.ich." "J\.re you willing lo go 10 that h.ud place, Rupinda?" he was asked. "1\nywher,.," \ljs hi~ reply. The miners who can say "1\nywhcre," arc the ones wanted for this task. The 1wf is here, untold treasures arc hiddln. rnd 1h, ore )ields a high percent of spiritual \,1lues. May we, Gods servants, manifrst JUSt.1s much courage, persistcncy and hope as do the miners of the gold that perisheth. investing our me.rns, )<J our own lives to sec this thing through.
