India

Forty Hours a Week With Thermometer at 120 Degrees

In a letter which accompanied his report for May, Brother C. E. Weaks, the general agent of India, writes:—
“Here is another report from hot India, and I can assure you it is hot on the plains these days. In the Punjab, where Brethren Poley and Carratt are working, the mercury stands at from 110° to 120° F. This means something under India’s sun. Yet, in spite of the heat, our workers are reporting forty hours and more a week.
“I am still engaged largely in the English effort that we are carrying on here, visiting among the people, holding Bible readings, and doing part of the public speaking at the hall. We are certainly short of help in this field. I can scarcely wait until recruits arrive, so that I can give more time to the literature work.
“I trust you will get the canvassers started so that they will reach India not later than October 15.”
