		Edward Evans-Pritchard described the witchdoctors and medicine-men of the Azande and Nuer; Lienhardt, the medicine-men of the Dinka; Nadel, the shamans of the Nuba Mountains; Jean Buxton, the medicine-men of the Mandari, and Oyler, the medicine-men of the Shilluk.
		The Shilluks, Oyler reports, think of the witch-doctors or medicine-men as good, not because their lives are good, nor yet because their practice is good, but because they are looked upon as the channels through which occult powers may be transmitted to men.
		Some Shilluks, for example, maintain that the power comes from God, and others, that it is hereditary; but the distinction is not absolute; those who think of the power as coming from ancestors, would also say that the first person of the line to possess the power, received it from God.

		The Shilluks, who live on the White Nile, say that Juok, the creator, moulded all men out of earth, and that while doing so he wandered about.
		In one place he found pure white earth or sand, from which he made white men, when he came to Egypt he used Nile mud and made red or brown men, but when he reached the White Nile he found fl earth, and so he made the Shilluks that colour.
		These beliefs are simple, and in some ways childish, yet the stories told by more civilized peoples to account for their origin are often scarcely more profound.

		The word "apparently" is used with intent; for though some few individuals may acquire a temporary benefit by sacrificing moral principle[Pg 12] on the altar of pecuniary gain, it may confidently be stated that, in respect to the wider and more lasting benefits of trade, no real antagonism exists between commercial self-interest and public morality.
		To be more explicit, what is meant when it is said that the commercial spirit should be under some control is this—that in dealing with Indians or Egyptians, or Shilluks, or Zulus, the first question is to consider what course is most conducive to Indian, Egyptian, Shilluk, or Zulu interests.
		We need not always inquire too closely what these people, who are all, nationally speaking, more or less in statu pupillari, themselves think is best in their own interests, although this is a point which deserves serious consideration.
