directions, or with equally permanent
results In 1919, when he died, after
thirteen years service, there had been
$50 persons brought into the Christian
church in the India mission field, and
of this number $50 were then living and
in active membership. In 1850 the
great missionary Christian. Friedrich
Schwartz, arrived at this mission from
Germany, and spent nearly half a CEN
tury i'm India. 1t has been estimated
that his converts in India numbered
between 5000 and 1000. This was a
century before the time of William
Carey, who Is incorrectly called the
Father and Founder of Modern Mis-
sions.
