Heart Cry From India

From India comes the cry for
more teachers and for schools for
women to teach and for clergy to
shepherd.
One missionary says:
1.-THE missions have been caught
asleep. and there ara hundreds of
villages with never teacher or a
school, a chapel or a pastor. The
standard of lIteracv among Chris
tiany has gone down alarmingly,
and still more people are crowdlng
into the church.
The result may be sem heathen
church;it may be a caste OF baptized
heathens or it may be the overturn-
ing of India; it may be the lever
which will'upset caste and Hindu
ism; the rod which breaks in pieces
In order that The Shepherd may re-
CONSTRUCT fairer India for Him
self.
ITO us is intrusted the giving of
the answer. 1t is the shaking of
the nations of India we are Witness
ing. 1t Is the search for the true
search, ignorant search
IN many cases, but a search which
does end in changed lives and in
new spirit in the villages. In the
Pupjsb the Christians Increased ov-
Or 400 percent between 1901 and 1911. !
