Brief Notices: Christian Unity and Indian Missionary Views
A short review of Simon Wilberforce O Neill’s A Contribution to the Cause of Christian Unity and Thoughts of an Indian Missionary on the Controversies of the Day. The piece notes calm tone but limited force, praises cross-denominational cooperation among missionaries, and criticizes European divisions hindering native churches. It also mentions Joan N Norton’s The King’s Ferryboat, a volume of sermons for children, highlighting anecdotal illustrations that sometimes feel excessive.
