The Old Chief’s Sermon | Chapter 60 | The Story of John G. Paton

The well was now finished. The place was neatly fenced in. And the old Chief said, “Missi, I think I could help you next Sabbath. Will you let me preach a sermon on the well?” “Yes,” I at once replied, “if you will try to bring all the people to hear you.” “Missi, I will try,” he eagerly promised. The news spread like wildfire that the Chief Namakei was to be Missionary on the next day for the Worship, and the people, under great expectancy, urged each other to come and hear what he had to say. The old chief’s sermon is a powerful example of the change that God has brought about.
