Just recently Brethren W. W. Miller and J. C. Little visited our Tamil mission in South India. They found it a great and needy field. Sister Doctor Shryock and her assistants were doing almost marvelous work. She has treated, with her three native helpers, over two thousand people monthly. Patients come from all around, and when they were asked if they believed that Miss Shryock could heal people, they answered that she could help them as the Lord helped her. They feel that the Lord sent her among them; and when asked who should receive the praise, they answered, “Both Miss Shryock and the Lord.” The medical work is carried on in a rented building. Those who had owned the building, did not desire to let it go; but one man who had had a splinter of iron taken out of his eye by one of our brethren, after medical men had refused to operate upon it, demanded the building, and said that if it were not furnished he would stir up the whole people of the town.
