Gun Better Than Sermons Claims for Missionary Skills
The Rev H A Musser says his success as a missionary stemmed from field work and hunting with a rifle. He and his family arrived aboard the Tenya Maru after eight years in central India where he served as district superintendent of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He argues that aiding natives physically gained Hindu trust more than sermons, recounting lions tigers and elephants hunted and the “barking” of his gun aiding the mission.
