India One Hundred Years After (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt From India One Hundred Years After Suppose We Begin With Rev. Edward Fairbank And His Automobile. Some One Has Said The Automobile Is The Epitome Of Modern Civilization. You Would Certainly Think So If You Saw A Great Touring Car Go Through A Hindu Crowd. Mr. Fairbanks Auto At Vadala Is Not Of TheREd Devil Kind, But A Humble, Gracious Vehicle. It Wascselnt Out By Ia GeneroUs Friend In America, When He Heard Of The Distances This Missionary Had To Cover In His Frequent Tours Of Inspection Among His Churches And Schools. To Keep Some Forty Village Teachers Effectively At Work Was A Task Of Large Physical Proportions, Not To Mention Its Mental And Spiritual Strain. The Coming Of The Auto Meant That Fairbank Would Be All Over His Field Every Few Days And That He Could Be Back At Home For A Good Sleep Nearly Every Night. It Is Worth Mentioning That The Motor Cycle And Automobile Have Doubled The Effectiveness Of Many A Missionary In India. Another Instance Is That Of Dr. Kate Scudder Of The Arcot Mission, South India. A Finer Sight Can Hardly Be Imagined Than Dr. Scudder Returning From One Of Her Medical Trips, Her Touring Car, Fitted Up As A Dispensary, Loaded Down With The Garlands Of Grateful Patients She Has Min Istered To Along The Road. They Meet Her At Designated Points, As At A Bridge, Or Under A Large Tree; And It Is An Unusual Day When She Has Not Treated One Hundred Such CasesAnd Brought Back Several Patients To Her Excellent Hospital At Vellore.
