/. ignorance. They have been told
III you would cease preaching
Jesus Christ, you might have en-
tire control OF girls education IN
india" Higher educational work
among young mon and boys Is
also breaking down prejudice.
Christians are asserting them
selves against evil practices and
thus gaining the respect Of all
good people.
6. There is a deep rooted feel
ing, that 1t is a mistake to
change ones religion. Better be
wrong, than change" In one state
the lower officials thought to
scare the Christians into recant-
ing and coming with drums into
a village, they called the people
together, and haughtlly asked
how many were Christians. Twelve
stood up. Then the leading Off
cial berated them for changing
their religion. He said govern
nlent wanted them TO stick to
their own religion, that what was
good for their fathers was also
good for them, etc. Moreover, he
said Il am ordered to send every
Christian TO headquarters. What
they will do to you there / do
not know. / will not take the
names Of any OF you who sit
down." Nine Of tha twelve sat
down and the official told the
other three to think 1t over till
morning and report. That night
the three prayed over the matter
: and next morning when called to
stand up and report their deci-
sion, they said "Sahib you told us
a man is q fool to change his re-
ligion and since VIC became fools
once by changing, We have decided
not to become fools twice by
changing again.p The officer told
them to sit down, saying, you
are the only Christians in the vii
lage. The other nine were hypo-
critics from the first" Tho nine
were merely insufficiently taught
and lacked the courage Of their
{ convictions.
z. The family, or communal
system is also q hindranco to the
progress of tho Masters work.
This Is especially true among, edu-
Gated high casts. Often youth
becomes sure that his ancestral
faith Is wrong, and that Jesus
Christ alone Is tho Savior Jof
mankind, yet he dare not OPENLY
confess Christ. II he docs, he Is
ostfacized, disinherlted, and per-
secuted. A well-educated young
friend OF mine, when asked about

AS at Athens, so to the people
OF India, Paul might say "L-per.
CeiYe that In all things 70 arc very
religious" But they do not love
their gods as Christians love the
Lord; their devotion Is rather due
TO fear OF the wrath Of the gods
whose anger they would appease
by offerings,
1. OF the many hindrnnces to
Christian Missions in India the
greatest Is caste. In times OF
famine, children were brought into
orphanages regardless OF caste, or
outcaste. The taking Of outcast
children was to put the stamp OF
outcast or untouch8biIity upon the
orphange, and upon the mission
and hence upon the religion OF the
missionary. AS a result, mission
village schools among caste people
have In some cases had to be
closed and the missionaries have
turned to work among the back
ward class or hill tribes or to out
casts.
:. -he unwholesome life Of
many Westerncrs and Anglo.In-
dians Is another hindrance to the
success Of Christian work in India.
Many missions-the Methodist
Episcopal and the Church Mission-
airy Society especially-are max
ing vigorous efforts to create a
better environment IN the large
cities SO that tho future is more
hopeful IN this respect.
8. What Christians eat md
drink is often a hindrance when
dealing with caste people. l have
dealt with Iindus who would have
had nothing to do with us had
they known that we would cat
meat. Had Christians from the
first not eaten meat or touched
intoxicants, believe that the
cause OF the Master might be
much farther on.
4. The high casts do not want
the lower classes to accept the
Christian religion. They wish them
to remain ignorant, for only then
will they submit to oppression and
exorbitant interest on money
loaned. Hitherto, the backward
classes have been forced to work
for nominal wages and thousands
Of them have been veritable bond
servants. Many missions are
opening cooperative credit banks
or societies, whereby poor Chris

SideIights
A UNIQUE IDEA

"A UNIQUE IDEA
few weeks ago a rather
unique and, to say the least. ORR
ginat merchandising stunt was
introduced to Fairmonters. Per-
1aps you may recall 1t. In many
stores one found sealed tin con-
tainers Swedged into the center Of a
pile OF small boxes and n sign
hanging over the entire display
inviting one to drop a silver coin
into the container. This payment
orgdopRtlon ON would
represent the purchase price OF
one Of the boxes containing a
Dprham-D Duplex safety razor.
The unusual merchandising
idea was originated by a many
sided man named Tom" Sheehan,
president OF the Durham-Duplex
Razor Co., who has been widely
mentioned as one of the leading
thinkers in American business
today. But Mr.. Shechan's gifts
seemingly are not restricted to
effectiveness, for he deals In

good inventor Of razors and ways
to sell them, but he is also pretty

l will not say it's cruel world
Because it's been SO to me,
I'll keep my banner of hope I'M
furled
For all Of the world to see; e
II I've been plunged in tho black
est night
Shall whimpcr and whine and

Shall | dare deny there is any
light,
Because all my beacons fail?
Because I have lost in the fight
with fate
Shall | sing in a moaning
strain?
Because I have found the odds too
shall ali say that the fight i.
vain?
No. l shall learn by my own defeat
From the sorrow that comes to
me,
To sing howlifc may be brave and
sweet
In the glory of victoryl
If I've been down in the depths of
hell
With damned and a broken
clan,
I sttll shall carol that all is well
With the conGUering soul of
man;
I shall not say it's a cruel world
Because It has mastered me,
But I'll keep the banner OF hope
unfurled
For all OF the world to see.
