seattle, Wash. In an address on re- hg1ous work in India, Rev. N. P. Mel sen, who has been living for 16 years III foona, Bombay, as an independent missionary in one of the jungle dis tricts, said that 3OOOO persons were killed there every year by cobras which they worship fa-atically. The Brahmins of PoOna, Bombay presi- dency, are retarded in their approach to civilization by their constant verer. alton for he reptiles, and even when Christianized cannot bring themselves 10 kill one of them.
 The animal and reptile worship of India is start.ing," said Rev. MT. Mel sen. Tn every living thing, through he doctrine of reincarnation and the worship of ancestors, the Brahmins see a forefather, and to kill a cobra with them is to kill a grandmother. They safeguard the lives of these ven onlous creatures with jealous care.
 '1 have known many oI them, in he bitterest dregs of biting poverty, Q starve their babies in order to feed milk to these deadliest of enemies which might strike them down a moment after having their fill To convert the Brahmins to Chris ianity means to remove in some degree this reptile worship, but they are long in the teachings of Christ befcfa they will consent to kill a cobra
 Escapes from the deadly bite of the cobra are common to the jungle mis- sionary, and one experience of mine will suffice as a type of a long list during the 1G years I was circuit rid ing among these people.
