The Outcastes

How this word speaks to our hearts — the untold misery of such a position. My friend in India, a pastor, writes of them: “Poor benighted souls, what would their fate be without the gospel of Christ? Praise the Lord that something is done for them... I received four parcels from the doctor last month. I have already sent two or three parcels of literature to my friends in India, and the colporteur has started a long journey with a good stock of tracts and books.”
What a wonderful experience it must be to visit with another devoted servant of Christ a tribe who for the first time heard the glorious news of a Saviour’s love. My friend writes: — “They live in the jungle and are well-to-do, but, sad to say, serve the prince of the power of the air. It was the first time they had heard the gospel, and how deeply they thought about it. One old woman wept when I told her the sufferings of Christ.”
Dear Miss Leakey and Dr. Wreford told us of the remarkable work going on among the fifty or sixty millions of the “Outcastes of India,” who are now coming by thousands to Jesus Christ, and they both ask for earnest prayer on their behalf, and those devoted workers who, like my friend, have left all their people to carry the glad news to those “without hope and without God in the world.” “Pray without ceasing.”
