Excerpt from Behind the Pardah: The Story of C. E. Z. M.S. Work in India This little book comes to us at the right time. India has filled a large space in England's thoughts this year. Her sufferings through plague and famine have called forth our sympathies, her representatives in the Great Jubilee procession have appealed to our imagination, and her frontier troubles have aroused our sense of patriotism and quickened the resolve to keep this jewel of England's crown safe and intact at any cost. This book will serve as a complete and satisfying answer, from the Christian point of view, to the question so often asked, Why do we retain India? However strongly our presence there may be urged on the score of the Pax Brittannica and all its untold blessings, and our British administration of the country, with its western integrity and western methods, yet to the Christian mind these replies will be unsatisfying. The only really adequate final cause for the retention of India lies in our determination to win her to the feet of Christ, as one of the brightest jewels in His crown.
