India

By J. L. SHAW

J. L. SHAW
ON my return from southern India I spent two weeks in Lucknow, and then came on to Mussoorie. Our printing-office in Lucknow is getting nicely started, and we have procured a small engine with which to run the press. It has taken some effort and expense to locate both the printing and mission offices at that place, but there are many advantages in having the printing-office in such a publishing center, in close proximity to the hills, only thirteen hours' ride taking us to Dehra Dun at the foot of Mussoorie.
Our public meetings in Lucknow have been well attended during the cold season. Just what will be the results, we do not know.
Dr. H. C. Menkel and his associates are in Mussoorie getting ready for the season's work. They are starting a small class for nurses this year. There will be five or six in this class. We hope in time to train missionary nurses for work in this field.
Elder W. W. Miller is expecting to come to Mussoorie to take charge of the public effort here this season. I think we shall have a good attendance, and hope to see some fruits as the result.
Brother and Sister L. J. Burgess have received a warm welcome in the Garwhal district, where they are opening up a school among the people in the mountains. There seems to be a demand there for school work, and the people have pledged quite a little toward the erection of the building. They are going forward with the work with their own means until the mission shall be able to help them.
