Burial of Amputated Limbs.
(Vol. xxi., p. 387.)
I heard a lovely story last night [Feb. 12, 1913] from a friend who has just returned from Johannesburg. A native man (a Majanga) had his hand so terribly crushed by the shutting upon it of a railway carriage door that one finger was actually pinched right off. Though the pain must have been awful, he thought nothing of it in his eagerness to regain possession of the lost finger and have it properly buried,—lest he should be maimed in the spirit world. I asked if the man had been under Mohammedan influence, and was told,—"Probably, yes."
- ↑ Apparently a plan for finding Septuagesima, when the Alleluia would cease to be sung until Lent was ended.
