T Oa March Hat, 1741, nearly five yean after his arrival, Schmidt bap. tized a native, Willem, the 4m fruit of ha faith and toil. Others were baptized somewhat later. Bat the Datch colonists feared that; Schmidt might reveal their cruelties to Earn peaas at home, and they finally com pel led him to return to his own land . Not until after more than 50 years was the work renewed ; than th net quest for leave to re-establish a mis sion among the Koi-Koin met with a favorable ans wer. Three j brethren went to the Cape and proceeded 80 miles eastward from Cape Town to Ba vian' Kloof, which mean "Dan of Baboons." the place proving tp ba the very ipet when G lf hA laJwaJI Within a tarpi.nvnnr.'i had labored.
