CHARACTERIZATION OF INDIA.
The evangeization of India can be
achieved only by proclaiming the living
Christ and by an exemplification in
brotherlness and righteousness of apos-
tolic Christianity. Preaching the truth,
the whole truth, and nothing but the
truth; and preaching it in that love
which is wise and distinguishes things
that are great and essential from those
that are trivial and secondary, the
church will magnify the power of its
testimony.
I am grateful that in the work of a
score of missionary societies 1 could see
so many evidences of the fruitfulness,
hopefulness and beneficent power OF
Christian evangelism. Certainly, the
bishop of Tennevelly who, between last
November and last March, was per-
mitted to confirm more than 1000 native
converts, does not despair of the evan
gehzation of India. Having conversed
with Brahmin Christian preachers and
professors in colleges having seen a
Brahman in the bazaars of Benares
proclaiming Christ amid the hideous
idolatries of that city, having seen
whole rows of Brahmin converts in
Christian churches, not only repudiate
the mendacious story that no true
Aryan is ever converted; but l cherish
a hope that in time to come multitudes
of the twice-born classes will be born
again by the spirit of God.
