MEDICAL work was opened in this Himalayan station early in 1915; and from the beginning, we purposed making Christ's methods our pattern, combining medical work with the preaching of the gospel. The result has been that many who came to us for healing of physical infirmities have at the same time become keenly interested in the prescriptions for soul healing.
Among other inquirers are a rajah and his wife. After receiving physical help, they requested me to study the Bible with them, and other members of the family have also been present.
An Indian gentleman holding a high government position came to us in much the same manner that Nicodemus came to Christ.
A business man, observing a strange sight in the heavens, desired to know what the "God Book" had to say about the end of the world.
A Mohammedan patient, after studying with us for a time, has opened his home, and has requested that Mrs. Menkel give Bible lessons to his wife, who is in purdah.19We have had two baptisms this year, and others are preparing to take this step. In furnishing our new meeting hall, we are assisted by Hindus and Mohammedans, as well as Christians.
