East Indian Says They Need More
Brains and Refinement.
Missionaries of greater intellectual
power and OF greater refinement are need
ed in India today, This assertion was

Indian, who addressed the weekly meeting
of the Presbyterian Ministers Association

Ohol spoke on Problems Confronting the
Church in India"
"rhe church in India is undergoing a
change" he said. 1.-The natives want to
participate more and more in church af-
fairs. Many of them are allowed to hold
government positions. and they want to
take a hand in church affairs. Many of
the natives are very intelligent, and more
educated and refined missionaries are GER
tainly needed in India
