An Afghan Convert to Christ

The son of a Mohammedan Afghan robber chief has left his father's caste, crossed the frontier, and made public profession of faith in Jesus Christ at the mission in the bigoted Mohammedan city of Peshawar. He has done this at the imminent risk of being shot by his angry father, and he is himself still little more than a half-tamed savage, liable to lose control of himself, when anything stirs his wrath. Yet there he is to-day, trying hard to be humble, gentle, and Christ-like. He is therefore within reach of the prayers of Christians.
