and their members in Washington dis
trict lies in the help which they can
give the Indian League at this crucial
hour. The need there cannot be over
estimated. Bishop Thoburn says: IF
Methodism will do her duty in this
hour of opportunity we shall have in
India 100000 Methodist members at
the end of ten years"
This opportunity places upon our
leagues here a double responsibility.
Realizing that to save these people
means not only to win their hearts, but
also to teach them Christianity, we
cannot fail to see the need of our
financial support. In the Northwest

try, and carried it's work long without
marked success until 1910, having no
literature, few helpers and no funds.
But In 1910 Mr.. Brenton T. Bailey
was sent as Epworth League secretary
for India. to devote his whole time to
the direction of the work among Meth
odisms young converts. He Immediate
1y had the league literature published
in ten of the Indian languages and
also prepared graded Bible study
course for the day and boarding
schools.
Under this able leadership the league
is growing rapidly in India. and in
1872 there were in that country 500
chapters and $4,000 members. The
work there is divided into two classes.
that which is carried on in the villages
and that in the missionary centers.
Village league work must be of an
exceedingly simple sort. The village
converts of India are not ready to ac-
cept either the responsibilities or ad-
vantages OF organization, and must
be gathered by the preacher and edu-

A Hundred Years Ago.

One hundred years ago the fires of
Suffice were publicly blazing all over
India, even in the presidency of towns
of Madras. Bombay and Calcutta. and
upon these fires the screaming and
struggling widows-in many cases
themselves mere children-were bound
and burned to ashes with the dead
bodies of their husbands. Infants were
publicly thrown into the Ganges as
sacrifices to the goddess of the river
Young men and maidens, decked with
flowers. were slain In Hindoo temples
before the hideous idol of the goddess
Kalee. or hacked to pieces as the Meras,
that their quivering flesh might be
given to propitiate the god of the soil.
The ears Of Juggernaut were rolling
over India, crushing out hundreds of
human victims annually beneath their
wheels. Lepers were buried alive,
devotees publicly starved themselves
to death, and the swinging festivals at
tracted thousands to see the poor
writhing wretches. with iron hooks
thrust through the muscles of their
backs, swung in midair in honor Of the
gods.
Not one Of these hideous scenes can
be found in India today. and 1t Is the
missionary, who in spite Of ridicule and
abuse. brought them TO light and
forced the Legislative bodies to abolish
them.
