The Emir Visits the Mission

By D. C. Babcock

BROTHER D. C. BABCOCK, of Northern Nigeria, writes: “The emir [an Arabian military commander], a chieftain of Ilorin, head of the Mohammedans, and native ruler of the people over a large territory, a man of powerful influence, paid us a visit a short time ago. He expressed his appreciation of our work among the Paguns. He was attended by fully one thousand Mohammedans. The many horsemen, with their glittering spears, fine robes, and prancing horses, made quite a display. A few years ago we should have shuddered at such a scene, but we have learned that God is able to keep us under all circumstances when we trust him.”
