S. H. Kellogg, D.D., LL.D., of Landour, North India, says that "in India the need for educational institutions as a necessary part of the missionary propaganda, is the more emphasized by the fact that in a high and increasing degree the influential classes are coming more and more under the influence of the English language and literature, and in particular with all that is most antichristian in our modern scientific and philosophical literature. Such names as Huxley, Spencer, and others are as familiar to the educated classes in India as in America; and probably the greater number of those who have become more or less acquainted with English, have come to believe that these men have finally settled the question against Christianity and the supernatural, and they share the opinion of too many superficial skeptics at home that modern science is essentially and inevitably antichristian."
