ANGLO-EDUCATION IN INDIA.
By John McLauren, D.D.
THERE are reckoned to be 3,000,000 of these Anglo-educated Hindus in India at present holding positions of trust, from the clerk in a bank to the judge on the bench, or the prime minister of the raja of an estate as large as many a kingdom. It is impossible for a man to go through such a course all in English, and remain an idolator as before. He may become a Theosophist, a Spiritualist, or a Brahmoist, but not a worshiper of sticks and stones. In nine cases out of ten he will also get sick of the social and family habits and customs of his fathers, and he will long for the pure and holy home ties which he sees exemplified in mission families all about. Many of these are professing Christianity, and we must see to it that the Gospel is lovingly and intelligently brought to the attention of such an interesting and influential section of the Hindu people.—John McLauren, D.D.
