Very true, my friend; and I ought; for the whole country needs the rain which I am making.
M.D.So you really believe that you can command the clouds?
I think that can be done by God alone.
R.D.We both believe the very same thing.

It is God that makes the rain, but I pray to him by means of these medicines, and, the rain coming, of course it is then mine.

It was I who made it for the Bakwains for many years, when they were at Shokuane; through my wisdom, too, their women became fat and shining.

Ask them; they will tell you the same as I do.
M.D.But we are distinctly told in the parting words of our Savior that we can pray to God acceptably in his name alone, and not by means of medicines.
R.D.Truly! but God told us differently.

He made black men first, and did not love us as he did the white men.
