Indian educator tells
WMS of changes
Dr. Eva Moses of.Ind°rep India, spoke about the many
changes that have taken place
in central India since the first
missionaries went there 97 years
agO when she addressed dele-
gates to, the 11th Huron Centre
Regional United. C hurch W omen's
Convention Thursday in. Bruce-
field.
Dr. Moses was invited to
tour Canada by the missionboard
of the United. Church of Canada
to speak to church groups who
this year are studying India.
She is an obstetrician and gyne-
cologist in charge of Indore
Christian. Hospital.
She spoke about missionaries
to India who planted the seed of
concern to the downtrodden
people of India, especially the
women, who were illiterate, shy
and backward. She said mission-
aries started small schools and
dispensaries.
Because of the Christian mes-
sage, she said, there have been a
lot of changes: "There has been
a disappearance of many evil
customs such as untouchability,
caste system, child marriages
and selling women."
When missionaries first
came, she said it was on a long
term basis with some mission-
aries staying in India for 40 to
50 years. Now this pattern is
changing, they are coming for
short terms — two or three
years -- with skills and tech-
nical knowledge to train Indians
with whom they will be working
as colleagues and partners. They
will not be in charge of any
Indian institutions -- Indians will
always be in charge, she said.
Dr. Moses said when mission-
aries first came there were mass
conversions but this happens no
more. Now it is by Christian
living and the impact they make
on Indian society that they are
converting people.
She said India has progressed
since it got its independence 25
years ago in 1947, The Indian
government, she said, is doing
its best to provide more educat-
ional and medical facilities and a
better standard of living.
"There's a green revolution
going on in the country," she
said. "Farmers are given in-
centives, better seed and
chemical fertilizers so that we'll
have enough food to feed our
people."
She spoke of the family plan-'
ning program by which the
government was trying to solve
its population explosion
problem. She said the population
of India today is 560 million and
it may go to more than one
billion in 30 years if not con-
trolled. She said the government
has opened 34,000 family planning
centres throughout the country
and there are some mobile
clinics that go to the rural areas
as well. As a result of this
program, she said, there are 15
million fewer babies in India.
India is on the march, she
said. It has a long pilgrimage
before it, she said, as she spoke
of the money being spent on edu-
cation and on public health but
