An Experience in East Bengal

By Carolyn M. Brunson

It had been an unusually hot day, and we had had a number of cases in the dispensary. I was just beginning to think the day’s work finished when a young Mohammedan came, pleading that I go to see his sick baby. When the child was taken ill, the father was working in a large city some distance from us, and had there obtained medical advice and treatment for his child; but when it continued to grow worse, the superstitious fears of his people overcame the father and mother, and they felt they must return to their own village.

A Bengali (India) dispensary worker; but her plea is: "I want to preach the gospel to my own people in some new place."

We used our simple rational treatments,

and immediately the child began to improve, and in a few days was entirely well. I felt especially thankful for God’s help and guidance in this case, as in helping his child we touched a responsive chord in that Mohammedan’s heart.
