In New York last Sunday Hindu travelers distributed leaflets at church entrances declaring Christianity has outlived its usefulness and urging public embrace of Hinduism. The report notes similar oversea missionary zeal and compares it to bold claims by engineers and adventurers about ships and airships. The piece also cites a blood transfusion case in Chicago and a kidnapping plot tied to a hefty ransom, with historical allusions to French colonial violence.
