SHERBRO MISSION. 
CHAPTEE XIY. 
Conversion and Death of King Caulker. 
We had seen what a great change has come 
over the head-man of Shaingay, Mr. Caulker. If 
the reader will go back to Chapter IV., when Mr. 
Flickinger visited him repeatedly in his exile at 
Bendoo, and observe how slow he was to grant 
the privilege to locate a mission in his territory, 
and remember his secret opposition to the mission 
for years after, he will be astonished at the bare 
suggestion of his conversion to God. It was, 
however, evident that for three or four months 
before he died he was a changed man as to his 
entire conduct. He forsook the worship of idols. 
He sought for forgiveness through Jesus Christ. 
He professed faith in Christ. He prayed. He 
said God was good and precious to his soul. He at- 
tended public worship, and bore the cross himself 
before the people. He recommended Jesus Christ 
and his salvation to the people, urging them to 
commit their souls to him, and to give up their 
idolitary and superstition.
