Educated India Takes Note
By F. O. Raymond
FOR the past six years, as I have traveled over the length and breadth of India, up and down its great rivers, and across its broad plains, carrying the printed gospel message to Hindu, Mohammedan, Buddhist, and Parsi, as well as to the European and the Anglo-Indian, I have often been surprised at the manifest working of God's Spirit upon hearts, and the wonderful opportunity afforded to give the message of the hour just now quickly. Here are more than three hundred million souls within reach of the missionary. To aid him, the railway system of thirty-three thousand miles, steamboats on thousands of miles of navigable rivers, and cheap, efficient postal and telegraph systems are at his service in every district. Already millions read the daily paper, and India every year turns out probably more college graduates than does the United Kingdom. Educated India is taking note of world events, and is asking their meaning. Earnest, unselfish, Spirit-filled men are needed to give her millions the answer as to "what these things mean."
