The World Moves

Eighty years ago William Carey wrote from Bengal: "The people here hate the very name of Christ, and will not listen when his name is mentioned." To-day Rev. W. R. James writes from Serampore: "By all means see to it that the name of Christ is plainly printed on the title page of every book or tract that we print. We have now arrived at that point of time in the history of Christian missions in Bengal when the name of Christ is more of a recommendation of a book than otherwise. Very often have I heard natives ask for a Life of Jesus Christ in preference to any other book." The world moves!—Sel.
