She said that Great | Britain has gradually given the people {of India responsibility as they became | capable of assuming it. { “They are gradually b8ing glv!n a i light by which theéy can lighten thelr {own pathway,” said the speaker.* It is difficult to carry on a democratic I form of government hecguse of the il- | literacy which exists in that country, she asserted. However, schools are | being established in India and are in- | creasing in numbers all the The people are thus being prepared to |assume their growing responsibilities. Mrs. Lee stated that there are many lin Iidia, such as Mohammedans and willing to accept Christianity, but wher it comes to as- suming the responsibilities .connected | with the Christian faith, they fall short. One intéesting fact that shows how the gospel and teachings of Christ are { coming to the land in that Christians | are being chggen in almost every case to represent the people In affairs of government, Woman's Rise. { The position of the women and how | they are gradually becoming leaders . lin India, how they are becoming edu- | cated and how they are gradually do- | ing away with some of the ancient customs of that country, the dowry | system being one of them, was ah- | other interesting point dwelt upon by | Mrs. Lee. | She said that when the first women | went~forward in the university at | Madras to receive their degrees the | male students rose'from their seats |and. cheered them. In speaking of | the students she said that the schools |are overcrowded and /the missionaries | are literally baftled, by their many | successes, not dreaming that they | would make such headway. Phe missionaries are fast showing those people that the Christian re- | ligion is one that can be lived, that | the Mohammedan or Hindu_religion |is one apart from practice. ~However ‘thoy put their devotion ahead of Ie\‘t’rythlnx else, the story of a mer- chant who would not wait upon his customers until he had finished his prayers being an illustration of that fact. In closing Mrs. Lee said that the duty of every person is to see that foreign missionary work shall not lag, to help those who are aiding the people in foreign countries. “A gift, no matter how large or how: small, if put into the Kingdom of God, will last an eternity, she said. at the! time. | NEW STREETS PROPOSED City Plan Commission Recommends New Thoroughfares: to Serve School on Carmody Property.
