Christian Biography: Samuel Kaboo Morris. Morris (1873–93), a nineteenth-century Liberian prince, converted to Christianity when he was about fourteen. Sometime after his conversion but before he left for the United States, he was captured by a tribe who cruelly tortured him. Knowing he would likely die if he stayed there, he managed a miraculous escape and was taken in by another former slave.
The young man’s dream was to go to America, to learn more about God and the Holy Spirit—a particular interest—so that he could return to Liberia to teach. Finally he was hired on board a trading ship as a sailor, where he was again abused cruelly. By the time the ship reached America, because of his influence, the crew was praying and singing hymns. Samuel Morris’s prayer life was legendary, and his effective witness for Christ was notable, even in a very racist time. Through a series of circumstances, he ended up at Taylor University in Indiana, but within two years he died of complications of a respiratory infection. His life has been the subject of five novels, over a dozen biographies, and a 1954 film. Taylor University has named numerous buildings, scholarships, and a society in his honor. A great deal of information about him is available on the web, including pictures and film clips.
