Mrs. Parker read a recent letter from our prayer partner, Mrs. Wade of the Anglican Mission at Palam- pur, India, who was looking forward to a visit this spring from Mrs. Osler, of Toronto, the Dominion president of the W. A. The guest speaker, Miss Williamson, of the Presbyterian Mission in India, was then introduced and in an ex tremely interesting address outlined the political situation since this divi sion of the country into India at Paki stan. Many of the leaders- in this country are men who have been edu cated in English and are imbued with that country’s ideas of democracy. They fiercely resent the domination of any other country but feel the British officials were thoroughly hon est and gave them good government and they are endeavoring to model their government on British ideas. Their civil service is of a high order and the native industries are encour aged but this literacy is very low and due to the dense population there is i constant overcrowding and the ever present fear of poverty and famine. But great strides are being made and as the ’Christians become more liter ate this work is extended by means of native teachers who understand the racial prejudices. The work of the missionaries is arduous but rewarding in that gradually the gospel is being spread abroad and Christianity em braced by more natives. Miss Williamson was warmly thank ed for her very instructive talk and a social hour followed with Mrs. Thos. Fells and Mrs. Hawking presiding at the tea table.
