Behold,
O Shep-
herd of
Israel,
leading
Joseph
like a
flock
born ~1861 in Mozambique, which was then Portuguese
East Africa. "Many black
African nationalists regarded
all missionaries as working
for the European colonial
governments. During an up-
rising in 1896, Bernard was
warned to flee. He refused,
since he did not regard him-
self as working for anyone but Christ, and he
would not desert his converts or his post. On
this date in 1896, he we was fatally speared
outside his hut. (James Keifer)
