Yusuf Ameen,

the lion of East Arabia and sweet first fruits of Gospel effort there, rose
up and literally left all for Christ’s sake. It would be unwise to detail
what this valiant soldier of the cross has done for the cause of right and
righteousness. Only the day of days will reveal it and do him justice. “In
:
prison more abundantly, in strifes above measure, in deaths oft . •>
*
in perils of rivers, in perils of robbers, in perils from his countrymen
. . . in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the
sea, in perils among false brethren, in labor and travail, in watchings
often, in hunger and thirst, in tastings often, in cold and nakedness/'
Within two years a son fell from the roof and died, an infant daughter
succumbed to the heat, another to cholera, and his wife likewise. Yet <
i he himself, though almost choking with diphtheria^confessed his new­

found Lord so that the by-standers thrilled to listen. May God keep
*
him many years for us and Arabia.
