King Mushidi was an old tyrant who reigned over a large stretch of Africa in the days when Mr. Arnot lived and labored in his country. Although kind to Mr. Arnot, he was very cruel to his countrymen. The stockade, inside which was his royal residence, had a human skull on each post.
However, the good news preached by Mr. Arnot and those who followed him found a lodging place in many hearts, including some of Mushidi’s own family. The old chief’s own wife was saved by the grace of God, and for years she was in happy fellowship with the believers in that district.
She suffered many hardships. Her hard life probably did not fit her for the nicely furnished homes in our civilized lands, but by grace, through that blessed work of redemption wrought by the Lord Jesus for her upon the cross of Calvary, she was fitted for the heavenly mansions above.
