For, first, their greatest dread is that of offending the spirits of their ancestors, and they hold that any departure from established customs will assuredly do this, and therefore bring evil upon them. Next, their belief in witchcraft is opposed to progress of any kind. For a man who is nota chief, and who differs from his fellows by being mentally in advance of them, inevitably draws suspicion on himself of being a wizard, and, where there is no foreign controlling power, surely falls a victim to their fury. The belief in witchcraft is to this day the cause of a terrible amount of suffering among the tribes that are indenendent. All events that cannot be readily com- prehended—sickness in man, murrain in cattle, blight in crops, even casual accideuts—are by them attributed to the agency of wizards and witches, and not the slightest compassion is felt for any unfortunate wretch whom the recognized witch finder of the community points out as guilty. Confiscation of property, torture, death are the penalties of being charged with this ideal offense. It is believed that one man can bewitch another by means cf any such thing as a few hairs from his head, a clipping of a finger nail, a piece of clothing, or indeed anything whatever that belongs to him or can be brought into contact with him, or can be concealed in or about his hut.—‘‘Histor of the Boers in South Africa.” The Standard Piano Of the World.
