‘Thou shalt not kill.’ ‘Swear not at all.’ ‘Be not slothful in business, but be fervent in spirit, and serve the Lord.’ ‘Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate.’ ‘Live peaceably with all men.’ ‘We count those happy who endure.’ ‘Remember them that are in bonds, and them which suffer adversity.’ ‘Watch thou, in all things; endure afflictions; do the work of an evangelist; make full proof of thy ministry.’ ‘Whatsoever ye do, do it heartily.’ ‘Set your affections on things above, not on things of the earth.’ ‘Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, and forgiving.’ ‘Preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and boast not in another man’s line, of things made ready to your hand.’ I never discovered that there was any printed code of religious laws or moral precepts issued by his church, wherein these were specially alluded to; but it grew evident during our acquaintance that he erred not against any of them. Greater might he could not have shown in this interminable exploration set him by Sir Roderick Murchison, because the work performed by him was beyond all proportion to his means and physical strength. What bread he ate was insufficient for his bodily nourishment, after the appalling fatigues of a march in a tropical land. His conversation was serious, his demeanour grave and earnest. Morn and eve he worshipped, and, at the end of every march, he thanked the Lord for His watchful Providence. On Sundays he conducted Divine Service, and praised the glory of the Creator, the True God, to his dark followers. His hand was * * * * * [Illustration: DOCTOR LIVINGSTONE] * * * * * clear of the stain of blood-guiltiness. Profanity was an abomination to him. He was not indolent either in his Master’s service, or in the cause to which he was sacrificing himself. His life was an evidence that he served God with all his heart. Nothing in the scale of humanity can be conceived lower than the tribes of Manyuema with whom he daily conversed as a friend. Regardless of such honours as his country generally pays to exceeding merit, he continued his journeyings, bearing messages of peace wherever he went; and when he rested, chief and peasant among the long-neglected tribes ministered to his limited wants. Contented with performing his duty according as he was enabled to, such happiness as can be derived from righteous doings, pure thoughts, and a clear conscience, was undoubtedly his. His earnest labours for the sake of those in bonds, and the unhappy people who were a prey to the Arab kidnapper and land pirate, few will forget. The number of his appeals, the constant recurrence to the dismal topic, and the long lines of his travels, may be accepted as proofs of his heartiness and industry.
