Woman's Endurance

The diary of a chaplain in a Concentration Camp in the Boer War in 1901. Excerpt from "Woman's Endurance": Made only about twenty-two visits to-day. Relieved Mr. Becker funeral service; seven this afternoon; had no time to prepare; reckless; got through somehow; "It is sown in corruption, it is raised in corruption". "Yes, Pastor, here in our Camp it is not drops but bucketful of tears that are shed". There are about a dozen corpses in morgue tents just now. Tuesday, August 27.--The blessedness of eventide. Letters from Issie and Louise; seem to have forgotten for a brief space the sorrows around. Record day so far; visited thirty-five tents; very hard task. It is so delightful to offer up a thanksgiving prayer for a change; the usual "noodgebed" (emergency prayer) is most wearying.
