Missionary Education Debate in India Analyzed
Edward Storrow defends missionaries against claims that education dominates their work in India. He cites misquotations and presents three proofs that Evans overstates educational focus. Storrow notes varied roles, including preaching, pastoral duties, and editorial work, and cites an Indian report supporting his position.
Letter to the Editor on Missionaries and Education in India
Continuation of a previous letter replying to Mr. Storrow. The writer comments on the Exeter Hall address about missionaries and education in India and presents additional remarks to the editor.
Mission schools in India lose focus on Christian teaching
The letter argues that Christian instruction has declined in larger mission schools in Bengal and North West India. It cites government curricula, non Christian teachers, and English medium instruction as factors reducing religious teaching and hindering gospel work. It notes native Christians support cautious reforms.
