"He needs Christ more than you and I," said Mr. Kiaga.
"Then I shall go back to the clan," said the convert. And he went. Mr. Kiaga
stood firm, and it was his firmness that saved the young church. The wavering converts
drew inspiration and confidence from his unshakable faith. He ordered the outcasts to
shave off their long, tangled hair. At first they were afraid they might die.
"Unless you shave off the mark of your heathen belief I will not admit you into
the church," said Mr. Kiaga. "You fear that you will die. Why should that be? How are
you different from other men who shave their hair? The same God created you and
them. But they have cast you out like lepers. It is against the will of God, who has
promised everlasting life to all who believe in His holy name. The heathen say you will
die if you do this or that, and you are afraid. They also said I would die if I built my
church on this ground. Am I dead? They said I would die if i took care of twins. I am
still alive.
