Schools in Karmatar, India

KARMATAR: Sister Della Burroway, of Karmatar, India, sends a letter from Brother P. Biswas and wife, school-teachers rendering good service, who recently accepted the truth. It follows:—

“About one year ago my wife and I accepted the truth and came out of the Methodist Church. Some six months later, we were called to Karmatar to open a school for Mohammedan and Hindu boys and girls. These schools are located in the bazaar, where we have some of the best people in Karmatar. We open the schools with prayer. The children have been taught to cover the eyes with the hand, and at the close all join in a hearty ‘Amen.’ During our Bible class the boys give the closest attention, and from the youngest to the oldest are able to answer questions on the work we have covered.

“During this class it is not unusual to have several of the parents present, who come not so much to hear the Bible as to know what their boys and girls are being taught.

“A Mohammedan man who attends the school daily, has secured a Bible, and is investigating the truth.”
