A Mohammedan of Rank Studying the Bible

ONE of our missionaries near Calcutta relates the following incident:—
“Sukejon, a Mohammedan of the better class, came to me for Bible study. He said: ‘I want to know the true way. Let me hear what your Bible has to say, that I may know if truth is found therein.’
“I laid aside my usual habit of prayer before the first study, fearing I should startle him. As we took up the prophecy of Jesus' first coming, the greatest interest was manifested; and at its close he asked if we could not have prayer, that God might show him his will and give him strength to obey.
“He is fearful that his wife, a strictly purdah woman, and his child will be taken from him by her parents as soon as it becomes known that he is searching the Bible for truth.”
