Across India with Peeps
at Missionaries at Work
Calcutta, India.—Beautiful, dirty;
splendid, squalid; rich, miserable—
such are the contrasting adjectives
which one may apply to this third
largest city in the British empire,
seated on the banks of the Hoogli
river, whose shifting currents are her
best defense against an invading fleet.
It is a city of color, from the fat.
shiny, black baba scantily clad only
in a few yards of purple cheese cloth
and dazzling yellow, shots, to the pale
and immaculate Briton, in top hat and
frock coat. It is a city of historic in
terest; everybody goes first to see the
famous Black Hole.
But to all the world that is in any
way interested in missions this is re
membered as the scene of the labors
of William Carey, the father of mod
ern Protestant missions, who did his
lifework at Serampore, a few miles
from here, in the cathedral also one
sees a line statue of Reginald Heber,
the famous missionary bishop of the
Church of England, and author of the
most widely-known missionary hymn,
"From Greenland's Icy Mountains.”
Dusky “Europeans.”
My work deals with to-day, sp I must
introduce the reader instead to the
most curious company of "Europeans”
he has ever met, as they are gathered
for worship, several hundreds of
them, iu the fine big church of the
American Methodist mission. These
dusky "Europeans" are mostly half
castes. Eurasians, but they dislike the
latter name and are at all pains to
claim identity only with their white
ancestors. Thus a dark brown man,
three-fourths native, will speak osten
tatiously of going "home" to England,
though he never saw England, and
only one of his forbears for centuries
past, has ever been outside of India, j
This very pride indicates that the
Eurasian has certain qualities which
go with white blood, and this self-sup
porting, aggressive church, with re
finement written on the faces of many
of its members, indicates the impor
tance of this branch of the Methodist
Episcopal mission. The Methodists
have been very successful throughout
India in this work for Eurasians, and
for the whites who have married na
tive women, thus losing social caste
In addition, other white people who do
not care for the established church
services, attach themselves to these
churches for Europeans.
The Really White Europeans.
If tlie blended brother is a problem
in India needing the missionary's at
tention, no less is the simon-pure
white man. And I must say that, so
far as 1 could learn the life of the Eu
ropeans tas all Caucasians are desig
nated east of Suez) is more whole
some and normal in India than in the
far east. This is doubtless due to the
fact that British influence is alto
gether dominant, and British ideals
have followed the flag. The white
people generally attend the estab
lished churches, just as at home, as a
matter of course..
For the young men—who are every
where the crux of the social problem
—I found the Y. M. C. A. doing a con
spicuously successful work. In the
farther east it has been a failure so
far as the white men are concerned,
although its work for the natives, as
these articles have reported, has been
of a high grade. Here, however, the
association is "good form,” and the
larger Indian cities have fine build
ings, veritable gentlemen's clubs, with
chambers for any number of men
from a score to a hundred, and in gen
eral doing a sort of Christian work
which deserves great praise. It would
cause an American secretary to lift
his eyebrows were he to see the num
ber of men in evening clothes (includ
ing. of course, the iocal secretary him
self) to be found of an evening in the
Calcutta or Bombay association.
Therein, though, is a sign of success,
for that is the very crowd that the
association needs to reach here. The
work for the native Indians, conduct
ed in separate buildings, of course, is
equally notable.
There are white women in the east,
as well as native and half-caste wo
men, needing the peculiar sort of help
which the Y. W. C. A. affords. I was
greatly struck by the hold that this
organization has taken in India; there
is a sanity, a careful, confident facing
of actual conditions, and an effective
aggressiveness about it which should
place the association very high in the
rank- of missionary agencies.
One sort of work open to the Y. W.
C. A. Is illustrated by the following in
cident. Every ship sailing to India
from England carries young women
going out to be married, and to live
with fathers, brothers, or other rela
tives. Not always do the relatives
turn up, or the bridegrooms prove
available; in which case the young
woman sadly needs womanly hplp and
safe sheiter. On the ship in which I
went to Calcutta were three such
young women; one of them discov
ered that her uncle had gone to Japan
and she was penniless, half a world
from home. At the first opportunity,
after learning of the efficiency of the
Calcutta Young Women's Christian as
sociation, I puf. the secretary into
touch with the stranded girl, but al
.most too late, for a day later she at
tempted suicide.
“Behind the Curtain.”
High-class Hindu and Mohammedan
women are kept “purdah,” that is "be
hind the curtain." The precautions
that are used to keep them from the
gaze of all men save their families
seem ridiculous to a westerner. One
such woman was put into a railway
compartment next to mine, with the
most elaborate precautions. But when
we stopped at a small station 1 caught
a glimpse of her face through the
window and—well, she would never
be kidnaped for her looks! This se
questration of the women leads to all
manner of evils; and the lot of the
poor creatures is narrow and pitiable,
indeed.
Now the women missionaries are
penetrating “behind the curtain,” tak
ing with them medical healing, the
schoolbook and the Bible. The Wo
man's Missionary I'nion of America is
especially diligent in this zenana
work, having missions in five cities,
and their range of activities includes
visitation to the homes, day schools
for children, orphanages, rescue
homes, a hospital and a high school
and college. As 1 talked with two
bright American gin's at Allahabad,
Miss Wishard and Miss Bertsch,
about their work, and heard how they
had rescued 23 ill-treated and wid
owed Brahmins during the first four
months of the year (they teach 500
women a week) 1 could not but agree
that this was a womanly work for
women, affording a career such as
should satisfy any college-bred girl.
A Tomb for a Home.
The woes of women, and especially
of widows, in India are too well known
to need rehearsal here. They afford
endless scope for missionary service.
Thus, at Lucknow the Methodist Epis
copal mission has converted an old
Mohammedan tomb into a home for
homeless women. It was rather inter
esting to learn that a large part of the
cares of the charming young woman
in charge is the endeavor to find hus
bands for as many as possible of the
50 women who come under her over
sight every year.
In this same city of Lucknow I
found another flourishing institution
for women, the Isabella Thoburn col
lege, said to be the oldest college for
girls in India, having been established
in 1S70. It is affiliated with the Uni
versify of Allahabad, and has more re
quests than it can meet for graduates
to fiil governmental and private
teaching positions. The college has
won favor wilh high-caste natives,
and its nearly 200 students represent
all classes of society. I could not see
that the life differed greatly from the
life of American college girls.
As I watched a file of these lustrous
eyed. graceful, white-robed girls cross
the campus of the Presbyterian girls’
school at Allahabad, on their way to
chapel, it seemed to me that the spec
tacle wras rather more picturesque
than anything an American college
can boast. This building is the gift of
Mr. John Wanamaker A Christian
Endeavor meeting by the girls was
quite a model meeting of the Ameri
can type. Christian Endeavor appears
to be especially effective among the
Indian churches. Even a slight, asso
ciation with the students here seemed
to show in their character a reflection
of the charm of Miss Forman, their
principal. The caliber, culture and
character of some of the American
women to be met on the mission field
are altogether beyond the imagining
of the public at home.
New India in the Making.
Among the Indian reformers there
is discernable a movement looking to
ward the nationalization of India's
varying creeds, which is a step essen
tial to political unity. The national
creed is not intended to be Christian
ity. The one conspicuous agency off
setting this tendency is the mission
school. Up and down the length of
India are schools conducted by mis
sionaries and attended by.the children
of Christian converts (for they are
part of the machinery which must,
produce the next generation of native
preachers), by the children of low
castes, who are thus equipped to rise
in the social scale and, to an increas
ing extent of late years, by the chil
dren of the higher castes. It is al
most hopeless to attempt to enumerate
these; I might specify the fine big
Reid Christian college at Lucknow of
the Methodist Episcopal church, situ
ated on ground made historic by the
mutiny, equipped with Imposing build
ing*. attended by 500 students in dor
mitory, from a wide region of which
Lucknow is (he center, and adminis
tered to by men of ability and breadth
of vision. Both collegiate and commer
cial courses are given here.
Early this year many Methodists
from America journeyed to India to
attend the jubilee of Methodist Epis
copal missions at Bareilly, where 50
years ago Rev. William Butler estab
lished the work of the Methodist Epis
copal church, which has now grown to
a force of 5,000 workers and 200.000
native members. At this celebration,
which was attended by 2,000 native
CIi; istinns, 500 converts were l>ap
tl/ea on a single day, a unique feature
of the baptismal service being the
cutting off of the tuft of hair, the loss
of which means separation from Hin
duism. The occasion focused the at
tention of the religious world upon
the fact of Methodistism’s aggressive,
diversilied, far-ramifying and success
ful work in India. Thirty-seven differ
ent languages are used by Methodist
missionaries in this country.
Allahabad, the university center of
India, boasts another great education
al institution of the western type, the
Allahabad Christian college, of the
Presbyterian mission. Its buildings
are in quadrangle form about an im
mense and symmetrical banyan tree.
One of the buildings is Princeton hall,
a gift of Princeton alumni. An inspec
tion of this plant impresses a visitor
with the thoroughness of tho standard
maintained. The principal. Rev. Dr.
Arthur H. Ewing, is rightly reckoned
one of India's great educational lead
ers. In the big preparatory school for
boys, which is a part of the institu
tion, I had a chance to test all the
classes in English, and I cannot imag
ine a school in the homeland emerging
from this sort of ordeal more suc
cessfully.
The Living Dead.
At Allahabad is situated a large
leper asylum, maintained jointly by
the government and by the beneficent
Mission to Lepers in the East. It is
managed by Mr. Samuel Higginbot
tom, of the Presbyterian mission—
one of the innumerable extras that I
found missionaries everywhere carry
ing. “Salaam, sahib,” the lepers
would cry as we passed, lifting piti
ful stumps of fingerless hands to their
foreheads. A more desolate spectacle
than a leper asylum can scarcely be
imagined; yet here was to be found,
in some cases, the grace of Christian
resignation, with cheerfulness, which
is not always present amid scenes of
health and prosperity.
Not all leeprs are in asylums; un
numbered thousands roam the streets
at will. While attending the daily
clinic of Dr. Charles H. Cook, of Luck
now, the only missionary in all India
of the Reformed Episcopal church, I
sat within five feet of two lepers
crowded in the press. Next to one of
them was a man whose family was
suffering with the plague, five having
died, and four being ill at the mo
ment. Another one of the patients
had. within a few days, lost a baby,
a wife and four brothers, and his
father lay dangerously ill, all with the
plague. One convalescent plague pa
tient, whom the doctor had cured, w as
mildly rebuked by this quiet, unruffled
missionary for leaving his bed too
soon. A boy smitten with the plague
was brought by a mother with dread
filled eyes, and carefully examined by
the bare hands of the doctor.
This one doctor, with a single na
tive assistant, bad 61.638 cases last
year, including a few in his well-kept
little hospital. All classes, rich and
poor, Mohammedans. Hindus and
Christians, come for help. I counted
30 crowded into the small room at
one time, while outside a larger crowd
of waiting patients was listening to
the native preacher.
A Medaled Missionary.
One of the star missions of the j
American board is at Ahmednagar, >
where Rev. Dr. Robert A. Hume is |
senior missionary. Dr. Hume is less ;
widely known as the recipient of a i
medal from King Edward for his fam- ]
ine relief work than as the author of
"Missions from the Modern View
point.” That he and his associates
stand high in native esteem was evi
dent from the constant salaams he re
ceived as we rode about the city to
gether in a tonga, or native cart.
Many non-Christian natives have
given largely to this mission work for
Indians, and the government also con
tributes to the industrial school.
I found all sorts of educational and
industrial enterprises under way,
some of them, from a bicycle repair
shop to a tract depot, being wholly or
in part self-supporting. The big
church in native style, where even
Hindus have been known to worship
unknown gods, interested me less
than the extensive industrial estab
lishments where oriental rugmaking,
weaving, woodcarving, carpentry and
brass and silver working are carried
on for the market, under the direction
of D. C. Churchill, of Oberlin college
and the Massachusetts institution of
Technology, and .7. B. Knight, of Am
herst college, and an agricultural col
lege—types of the nonministerial. col
lege-bred missionaries who are doing
pioneer work for the orient. Mr.
Churchhill has invented a new' hand
loom that is within the compass of
the average Indian mind and purse.
Miss Emily R. Bissell and her bro
ther, Rev. H. G. Bissell, carry on in
this mission the work which their
mother, who had been 54 years in In
dia, laid down last year. While watch
ing the arrival at the hospital here of
a woman patient in a bullock cart I
saw Miss Moulton comforting the
weeping husband, a Christian teacher,
in a manner which revealed to me the
beautiful devotion of the missionaries
to this people.
It takes devotion of an unselfish
sort to do this work, especially among
the villages. One Sunday morning I
sat, with Rev. Mark Keaslar, of the
Agra Methodist Episcopal mission, in
blistering, life-shriveling heat, in a
low, dirty, malodorous dwelling on the
outskirts of the city, while he told a
crowd of hookah-smoking natives the
gospel story and answered their inter
ested questions; which looks roman
tic and picturesque from this dis
tance; but is work to take the heart
out of anybody less devoted than a
missionary; and ft is the work which
many, hundreds of missionaries are
doing all over India to-day.
