I found that he made an enormous impression, and yet the people I spoke to were chary of saying much about him.

Presently I found that he preached more than the gospel.

His word was "Africa for the Africans," and his chief point was that the natives had had a great empire in the past, and might have a great empire again.

He used to tell the story of Prester John, with all kinds of embroidery of his own.

You see, Prester John was a good argument for him, for he had been a Christian as well as a great potentate.
