The thing that surprises me more and

the marvellous progress Christianity has

TO understand the progress of Christianity
In India by studying the missionary re-
ports Of the various societies or by looking
over the census returns of the government.
One must be here on the ground, go in and
out among the people, compare the habits

years ago. One must take into account
the present state of Hindooism, especially
in the upper classes, with what it was 80
or 100 years ago
Let me, then, begin with the altered
faith Of Hindooism under the influence of
Christianity. One hundred years ago Hin
dooism was solid. There were practically
no schisms in its vast body. The schools
Of the Brahmans were crowded; the tenn
