Today story is how a Scottish missionary stopped the killing of twins in calabar

In the late 1800 and early 1900 the efik people of Calabar left twins to die in the bushes or sometimes they killed them, because to them it was a great sin and the logic behind this act was funny reason being that “the natives feared that the father of one of the infants was an evil spirit, that the mother of the babies has been guilty of a particular sin, being unable to identify which baby was fathered by the evil spirit the twin has to be left to die.

This barbarous act continued not until a Scottish missionary{Mary Mitchell selessor} was sent to Calabar to spread the works/words of Christianity and Christ himself. She would pick up twins that had been left to die and adopt them sending them to the missionary compound and in time was able to convince the efik people to eradicate the superstitious beliefs
