Matt. 9:36 to 1887.
India is considered by many to be the
greatest of mission fields. Were II Chris
tianized we could count one-4ifth Of the
worlds population for Christ. Owing to IT'S
natural resources and its government by
the English officials Its inhabitants are a
mixture Of western and oriental civiliza-
ton. Brahmanism is the religion Of the
great majority of the Inhabitants; Moham-
mechanism comes next.
India Is one of the earliest fields of Chris
tian missions. Tradition assigns 1t as the
scene of the Apostle Thomas labors and
martyrdom. The Syrian Church was plant
ed in Malabar $50 A. D. The Jesuit mis-
sionaries had large success In India in the
sixteenth century. The earlier Protestant
missionaries in India came from Holland
and Denmark. England began her mission
airy work in the eighteenth century.
Methodist missions were commenced by

IF you wish to buy coral beads,' re-

to a reliable dealer. Why, even cellulo.d
may be so shaped and tinted that the aver
age person would not know the difference.
There's one way to tell however, IL the

lection of the beads will convince the
weuld-be purchaser of their spuriousness.
A string of small beads at. say, IS or SO.
will be full of little imperfections, II they
be real. The larger the bead of real coral
the more expensive. The old carved coral
jeweIry of long ago went out because 1t
was Initiated in celluloid till you couldn't
tell the difference between pieces that cost
s. and $50. Just because the pretty beads
in delicate pink are so expensive most per-
sons fancy the branch coral chains, five
feet IN length, that sell at 81 and less, are
not real. But they are, and they are cheap
because they are made Of the tip ends OF
