Excerpt from Behind the Pardah: The Story of C. E. Z. M.S. Work in IndiaClass, a first solution towards the great problem of the future of the widows of India, now the Girls' Mission School, or the work of training the Native Bible Women, now the itineration through the endless villages in rough Tonga or Bandy or Gari, or, again, we pass from the encampment beneath the ancient village trees to the crowded heathen Mela or festival, or find ourselves behind the Pardah of Moslem or Hindu Zenanas, or among the free haunts of the wild hill tribes. But always there is the same picture of open doors of opportunity on every hand, of hearts burdened, often con sciously, with the sense of sin and misery, of sufferings or sorrows alleviated by personal contact, and fears and preju dices removed, whilst, crowning all these, we have the per sonal narratives of hearts yielded fully to the Lord Jesus Christ. Such stories, from the lips or pens of the lady mis sionaries themselves, are among the most beautiful features of the work.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
