Excerpt from India a Problem: Present Conditions; What Has Been Done; New India, or What of the Future?

Several years ago I began collecting material relative to present conditions in India. The more I noted common, every-day occurrences, the more I became convinced that it is just such things that our people at home are most interested in. It is by many little incidents that we can understand the nature of the life through which these happenings come.

The quotations at the top of the pages have been arranged as far as possible so as to be in harmony with the subject matter of the page, or else in pairs with a striking similarity or contrast. On the right are Bible references. On the left are quotations from the sacred books of the East. These latter references have been gathered chiefly from the publications of the Madras Christian Literature Society.

In the chapters on the several missions, both for facts and for illustrations, the literature of those missions has been freely drawn upon. This was done in order that the statements might be thoroughly reliable with reference to the work, while differences in faith and practice are not referred to. In all cases asked, the mission secretaries gave permission to use their material as I have indicated.
