on the steps of their Temples; to
the young, and to the old, to rich
and poor, to high and low. alike,
the message of salvation through a
crucified and risen Saviour is
preached by the anointed of God.
We can never estimate the value
of the Orphahage work done by
our missionaries in India; and
eternity alone Will bring them their
reward for they have the blessed
assurance, "In that they have
done it for the least of these the
little ones, they have done it for
the Master"
We must not fail to mention the
light that eliminates from the Ze-
mana or home work.
A high caste Indian not many
years ago became interested in some
needle work done by one of our
missionaries, and requested this
cody woman to go into his Indian
home and teach an Indian woman
how to sew. This was Gods OPP
portunity, for with every stitch was
interviewer the story of the blessed
Gospel, and to-day our Woman
Missionaries have no more impor-
tant work in India than their Ze
nanda work. In this land, 1T is
only in the hcmc, that a woman can
be reached, as she is never permit.
ted to appear in public. Even in
benighted India the mother is the
angel-spirit of the home. She
trains and directs her children,
while the father rules not one home
but many, not in one heart, but in
many hearts. When we reach
motherhood in India, we reach
childhood. When we win the chill
dren for Christ, we shall win the
Orient. God grant that Zenana
work may continue in India, till
every mothers heart is made happy
and glad in the light of the Gospel
of peace.
But let us pause upon the thresh-
old of this work, for we are still
upon the threshold. With Evan

lights of divine instruction in In

India contains one-sixth of the
entire human race or $50 millions
of people, AID when we compare
our work with what is yet to be
done, we still hear the Macedonian
call, "Come over and help u.s." and
we may yet sing with hearts full of
grief:

This is especially true in the
great centers of India; there are
millions in these great cities who
have never even seen a missionary,
millions who know nothing of the
Gospel of Love. The great capitol
Of India, Calcutta, is the seat of
the University of Calcutta with
10000 students. 1t is estimated
that these college students, edu-

full of temples and shrines, many
