An Indian Pilgrimage: Travel Notes of a Visit to The Indian Fields of The Church of Scotland

Paperback. Zustand: New. Language: English. About The Book: Our Church's work in India is itself wider. We send chaplains to the Scoto Indian as well as missionaries to the Indian; and both these activities are referred to here. There are 20 chaplains ministering to our own people, while 73 missionaries, men and women, and 383 Indian Christian workers, are engaged in the Missions of our Church. But in truth the work of all is one work wherever it is faithfully done, for the common object of the workers is to hold up Christ before the eyes of India, that men of the East and of the West alike may worship Him, and in Him find their true and lasting unity. To the many friends who gave most willing cooperation in carrying through the long tour successfully, and in particular to the Rev. J. Drummond Gordon, B.D., B.Sc., Presidency Senior Chaplain, Bengal, for his in valuable help in planning every detail of the 9000 mi1es journeyings in India, my fellow-pilgrim and I tender here our very grateful thanks.
