 India is a great peninsula, extending from 
 the Southern part of the continent of Asia 
 into the Indian ocean. 
 
 2. How large is India? 
 
 It is about ‘half as large as the United 
 States, not counting Alaska. 
 
 3. How do missionaries go to India? 
 
 They go in steampships across the Atlantic 
 ocean to England, where they board another 
 vessel which carries them to one of the sea- 
 ports of India. Some missionaries cross the 
 continent of Europe by rail and sail from 
 one of the Mediterranean ports to India. 
 
 4. How far is India from America? 
 
 Tt is about 10,000 miles from New York to 
 Bombay, or Karrachi, ports on the Western 
 coast of India. 
 
 5. What is the climate in India? 
 
 Tropical. 
 
 6. What are the seasons in India? 
 
 The hot, rainy and cold. 
 
 7. Describe the hot season. 
 
 In the Punjab, the hot season begins about 
 the first of March and lasts until “about the 
 
first of July. At the first of April, it is un- 
 comfortably warm, the thermometer often 
 rising to 120 F. in the shade. The heat is 
 most intense in June when the thermometer 
 sometimes stands at 160 degrees F. in the 
 sun.. Foreign residents close their houses 
 early in the day to keep out the heat, and 
 work outdoors can be done safely only in the 
 early morning and late in the evening. About 
 the first of April, hot, scorching winds begin 
 to blow.- Occasionally there is a dust storm, 
 which is a wind storm carrying with it the 
 dust of the plains, over which it sweeps, some- 
 times producing total darkness, and dangerous 
 to man and beast. This is usually followed by 
 a shower of rain. 
 
 8. Describe the rainy season. 
 
 The rainy season begins in North India 
 about the first of July and lasts until the 
 middle of September. There are heavy 
 showers almost daily, which are usually sue- 
 ceeded by sunshine and intense moist heat. 
 The rivers become flooded, and sometimes 
 much damage is done to property. The plains, 
 which during the hot season were dry and 
 baked, are soon green with vegetation. 
 
 9. Describe the cold season. 
 
 In North India, the cold season lasts from 
 the middle of September until the last of 
 March, December and January being the cold- 
 est, with a little frost. In Southern India 
 the temperature is very much the same all 
 the year. Gardens are made and wheat sown. 
 in October. The nights are cool and some- 
 times frosty, and fires are needed in the 
 houses, but it is always warm in the sun. 
 
 2 
 
In December, the oranges are ripe and roses 
 are finest in the gardens then and in March. 
 
 10. When is the harvest season in India? 
 
 There are different seasons for different 
 crops, but the principal harvest season is in 
 April. Wheat and barley are then cut. 
 
 11. What are the chief products of North 
 India? 
 
 Wheat, barley, dal (a kind of lentiles), rice, 
 cotton and sugar cane. 
 
 12. What is the population of India? 
 About 300,000,000. 
 
 13. Describe the personal appearance of 
 the natives of India. 
 
 The better class of the people in the North 
 of India are tall, slender and well formed, 
 with straight, black hair, dark eyes, regular 
 features and often perfect teeth. The color 
 of the skin is brown, ranging from the lightest 
 to black. 
 
 14. Describe the dress of the people. 
 
 In North India the men wear turbans, loose 
 shirts,—worn outside,—loose coats, loose 
 trousers, tight below the knee, and low shoes. 
 The women of the Punjab wear loose, baggy 
 trousers, tight at the ankles, a loose shirt 
 over these, and a veil thrown over the head 
 and shoulders. Sometimes a wide skirt is 
 sworn instead of the trousers. Jewelry is worn 
 on ears, nose, forehead, neck, arms, wrists, 
 fingers, ankles and toes. The jewelry of the 
 rich is very costly. The ornaments of the 
 poor are of cheap material. The dress of the 
 children resembles that of. their parents. 
 
 3 
 
15. Describe the houses of the people. 
 
 Rich people live in high, brick houses, often 
 very handsome without, but dark within. The 
 masses of the people live in low mud dwellings 
 with flat roofs, without windows, and with no 
 light or ventilation except from the door. 
 Most of the houses are built around a court 
 from which a door opens into the street. 
 
 16. What is the furniture of an ordinary 
 Indian home? 
 
 One or two charpais or bedsteads, one or 
 two vessels for cooking, a knife and spoon, 
 one or two water vessels and a cup for drink- 
 ing, a stool, a spinning wheel, a few mats, 
 sometimes a stone hand-mill for grinding 
 grain, a primitive lamp, and sometimes a box 
 which is used as a trunk. 
 
 17. What may be said of the cities of 
 India? 
 
 In some of the cities there are splendid 
 palaces, temples and mosques. There are also 
 fine public buildings erected by the English 
 government. The wealthy classes of the 
 people live in the cities and have well-built 
 and well-furnished houses, There are a few 
 wide streets, but most of them are very nar- 
 row and dirty. Parts of the city are always 
 devoted to bazars and markets. The majority 
 of the people live in low, mud houses. 
 
 18. Describe a Punjabi village, (or describe 
 a village in the Punjab.) 
 
 “It is a collection of low mud houses in a 
 field. The houses open into the narrow, dirty 
 lanes of the village, only a few doors break- 
 ing the mud wall seen from without. There 
 are a few trees and one or two wells. There 
 
 4 
 
is usually an open space where men sit and 
 talk in the evening. . Where there are Mo- 
 hammedans there is always a mosque or Mo- 
 hammedan worshipping place. Where there 
 are Hindus there is an idol temple or shrine. 
 The low caste people have their mud idols. 
 Farmers do not live in isolated houses, but 
 in these villages, and the fields surrounding 
 the village belong to them. 
 
 PART II. 
 
 19. What are some of the employments of 
 the people in India? 
 
 They engage in all sorts of business and 
 farming. Many are in government service, 
 while some are in the army. 
 
 20, What are the modes of travel in India? 
 
 Railways, street cars, carriages, carts, ek- 
 kahs (springless buggies), palanquins and 
 ponies. “ Many people take long journeys on 
 foot. 
 
 21. What is the food of the people? 
 
 They live largely on vegetable food. The 
 bread is made of coarse flour mixed with 
 water and baked in thin cakes. With this 
 they eat sag or greens, or dal (a kind of 
 lentiles). Sometimes they have dal and rice, 
 or curry and rice. Much pepper is used and 
 other spices, in cooking native food. Mo- 
 hammedans use all sorts of meat except pork, 
 which they consider an abomination. The 
 Hindus do not eat beef. The outcasts eat 
 anything, even carrion. All classes smoke the 
 hukka or water-pipe. 
 
22. What is a zenana? 
 
 It is the name applied to the quarters of 
 the women who are shut up in their homes 
 and not allowed to go about freely in the 
 streets. They are allowed to see no men but 
 near relations. Mohammedan women who 
 live in close seclusion are called purdah 
 n'shin or dwellers behind the curtain. Forty 
 millions are prisoners of the zenana. Women 
 of the poorer classes are not thus seeluded. 
 
 23. What is peculiar about the households 
 in India? 
 
 When a son marries he does not go into’ 
 a house of his own, but brings his wife home 
 to live with his parents and other members 
 of the family. The wife must obey her 
 mother-in-law, who is often unkind and some- 
 times cruel. Where several families live to- 
 gether, there is often much quarreling among 
 the women. 
 
 24. What are the employments .of the 
 women? 
 
 They cook and serve their husband’s meals. 
 They spin and sometimes embroider, and a 
 few learn to read the books of their religions. 
 Mueh time is spent in quarreling and gossip- 
 ing. The women of the villages sometimes 
 assist in field work. 
 
 25. 
 
 India? 
 
 What diseases are most prevalent in 
 
 Cholera and kindred troubles, liver and 
 spleen diseases, and fevers of all sorts. Eye 
 troubles are numerous and severe, and many 
 people are blind. There are many lepers and 
 wretched beggars. The black plague has re- 
 
 6 
 
cently been carrying off thousands in some 
 parts of India, but more people die every year 
 from fever than from any other cause. 
 
 26. We often hear of famine in India. 
 Why is this? 
 
 The population of the country is dense. 
 Many of the people are in debt to the mer- 
 chants and are obliged to pay exorbitant in- 
 terest. Often most of a -farmer’s crops go 
 to these money lenders. Even in a good year 
 it is hard for the poor to get enough to eat 
 and wear, for the wages of a common laborer 
 are only about ten cents per day. When there 
 is little rain, the shop-keepers raise the price 
 of grain until it becomes impossible for the 
 poor to buy, and much suffering results. 
 Wheat is often stored in pits during a time 
 of plenty, and when famine comes, this decay- 
 ing grain is sold to the starving people at 
 high rates by the merchants. 
 
 PART III. 
 
 27. When did Europeans first settle in 
 India? 
 
 The Portuguese settled Goa, north of Bom- 
 bay, in 1510. The Dutch made a settlement 
 on the eastern coast in 1580. They were fol- 
 lowed by the British in 1599, who established 
 a factory at Surat, north of Madras in 1612. 
 
 28. What nation now governs India? 
 
 The British, who have gradually conquered 
 the country. King George is now called 
 Emperor of India. 
 
 “I 
 
29. What is the policy of Great Britain 
 in regard to missions? 
 
 Missionaries are protected, but no special 
 favor is given to them or to those natives 
 who become Christians. 
 
 30. What is Great Britain doing for the 
 education of the people? 
 
 Government schools are maintained in* al- 
 most every city and large town for the educa- 
 tion of native boys and young men. There 
 are also some schools for girls. No religious 
 instruction is given in any of these schools. 
 Government aid is given under certain. con- 
 ditions to mission schools as well as to the 
 religious schools of Hindus and Mohamme- 
 dans. 
 
 31. How is British power maintained in 
 India? 
 
 Notwithstanding the mild and usually just 
 character of the British rule, many of the 
 natives are so restless under foreign control, 
 that British authority is only maintained by 
 means of military forces stationed in all 
 the great cities and at important places on 
 the frontier. Rawal Pindi is one of the most 
 important military stations. 
 
 32. What are the principal religions of 
 India? 
 
 Hinduism, Mohammedanism and Buddhism. 
 
 We do not come in contact with the latter 
 in our mission field. There are several other 
 religions, and, besides these, many people 
 are becoming Christians. 
 
 33. How many gods do the Hindus wor- 
 ship? 
 
 About 330,000,000. 
 
34. What are some of these gods? 
 
 Brahma, Vishnu and Siva are the principal 
 deities. Besides these there are many in- 
 ferior gods and goddesses; gods of gold, sil- 
 ver, copper, stone and even of mud. Rivers, 
 streams and mountains are worshipped, as 
 well as sacred trees, Cows, monkeys, and pea- 
 cocks and many other things. 
 
 35. What is caste? ‘ 
 
 Caste is the name given to the hereditary 
 classes into which Hindus are divided. Hin- 
 duism teaches that Brahma created four 
 classes of people: 1. The Brahmans, or 
 priests; 2. The Kshatryas, or soldiers; 3. 
 The Vaisyas, or farmers and merchants; 4. 
 The Sudras, or mechanics and laborers. Hach 
 caste has many sub-divisions, and besides all 
 these are the pariahs or outcasts. 
 
 36. What is the result of caste upon the 
 lives of the people? 
 
 People of different castes may not eat or 
 drink together. They may not inter-marry 
 or have much social intercourse. <A low caste 
 must not allow his shadow to fall on a high 
 caste, or on his food. He must always give 
 a high caste right of way. He cannot hope 
 to. rise into a higher caste, while a high 
 caste can fall only by breaking caste rules. 
 
 37. What is the result of caste upon mis- 
 sion work? 
 
 When a Hindu becomes a Christian, he is 
 regarded as an outcast and denied the fel- 
 lowship of his family and friends. Caste is 
 one of the greatest obstacles to mission work. 
 
 9 
 
38. What is child marriage? 
 
 The parents and relations of children ar- 
 range for their marriage while they are very 
 young. The little ones have no power or 
 choice in the matter. Boys are usually mar- 
 ried when about twelve or fourteen years of 
 age, and girls between‘ the ages of five and 
 ten and even younger. If the husband or 
 betrothed dies, even if the widow is still a 
 child, she must remain a widow all her life. 
 
 39. What is Sutteeism? 
 
 The custom of burning widows alive with 
 the dead bodies of their husbands. This cus- 
 tom has been abolished by the British gov- 
 ernment. 
 
 40. How many widows are there in India 
 and how are they treated? 
 
 There are about 22,000,000 widows now in 
 all India. They are doomed to lives of drudg- 
 ery and misery. Their jewels and good clothes 
 are usually taken from them, and they are 
 often treated with cruelty. Death is a wel- 
 come release to most of these poor creatures. 
 
 41. What is infanticide? 
 
 The murder of infants. In a Hindu home 
 the birth of a daughter is considered a ¢a- 
 lamity, especially if there are no sons in the 
 family. Formerly great numbers of baby girls 
 were murdered every year in India, and even 
 boys were sometimes murdered by throwing 
 them to the crocodiles in the River Ganges 
 as a sacrifice to the gods. But infanticide 
 has been abolished by the government, al- 
 though many girl children are still secretly 
 killed. 
 
 10 
 
42. What is woman’s position.in Hindu- 
 ism ? 
 
 Degraded in the extreme. A woman is her 
 husband’s property, his slave. A Hindu 
 writer says: ‘‘The husband is the wife’s 
 religion, the wife’s sole business, the wife’s’ 
 all in all. When the husband is pleased, 
 Brahma is pleased. As there is often no 
 love between husband and wife, the misery 
 of the poor woman cannot be imagined. 
 
 43. What is Mohammedanism? 
 
 Mohammedanism is a system of religion 
 founded by a man named Mohammed, who 
 was born in Arabia, about the year 570 A. D., 
 and who professed to receive revelations from 
 God. These revelations are contained in a 
 book called the Koran. Mohammedans claim 
 that the Koran has taken the place of the 
 Bible. 
 
 44. How was Mohammedanism  propa- 
 gated? ; 
 
 Chiefly by the sword. Their ery was, 
 ‘“The Koran or Death.’’ In consequence of 
 the invasion and settlement of portions of 
 India by Mohammedan Arabs, and by the 
 Moghuls, many of the natives of India be- 
 came Mohammedans. There are more than 
 50,000,000 of that faith now in India. 
 
 45. What success do Christian missions 
 have among Mohammedans? 
 
 Although Mohammedans as a class are. 
 bitterly hostile to Christianity, yet more con- 
 verts are made from them than from among 
 the Hindus. A number of our Christians 
 have been Mohammedans. 
 
 11 
 
46. What are the customs of the Moham- 
 medans? 
 
 The Mohammedans have not so many cus- 
 toms as the Hindus, but they have become 
 affected by some of their caste prejudices. 
 Feasts and fasts and the season of prayer 
 are carefully observed by ‘‘the faithful.’’? Al- 
 though they profess a horror of idols they 
 worship at the tombs of eminent and pious 
 Mohammedans and keep lights burning there 
 at night. 
 
 47. Who are the Sikhs? 
 
 The Sikhs are found chiefly in the Punjab, 
 where they were once a powerful nation. 
 Their last ruler, Dhuleep Singh, was deposed 
 by the British in 1849. The Sikhs are the 
 followers of a man named Nanuck, who was 
 born more than 400 years ago in Lahore. He 
 was a Brahman who became disgusted with 
 idolatry and founded a new religion. 
 
 48. What are his teachings and how have 
 the Sikhs degenerated? 
 
 Nanuck taught his followers, ‘‘to worship 
 one Supreme Being, to practice strict moral- 
 ity and to live by the sword.’’ The Sikhs 
 have gradually relapsed into idolatry, and now 
 even their sacred book, called the ‘‘Grunth,’’ 
 is worshipped. They are, however, a class 
 of people superior to the Hindus. Their sacred 
 language is Gurmukhi. 
 
 49. Mention two reforming sects of Hin- 
 duism. ‘ 
 
 The Brahma Somaj and the Arya Somaj. 
 The followers of these sects try to reform 
 Hinduism while remaining Hindus. 
 
 12 
 
50. What are fakers? 
 
 Fakers (fakeers) are men who in pursuit 
 of holiness separate themselves from their 
 families and live as hermits and beggars, 
 sometimes giving themselves up to medita- 
 tion and self-torture, but as often living in 
 sensual indulgence. A woman who chooses 
 a wholly religious life is called a fakirni. 
 
 51. What is the language of the people of 
 India? 
 
 Urdu or Hindustani is spoken all over India 
 by the educated classes, but each province 
 has its own particular language spoken by 
 the common people, most of whom understand 
 no other. Our missionaries learn Hindustani, 
 and Punjabi, which is the language of, the 
 Punjab. Many learn to read Gurmukhi, the 
 sacred language of. the Sikhs. Hindi and 
 Persian are studied by some of the mission- 
 aries. 
 
 PART IV. 
 
 52. What country first sent Protestant mis- 
 sionaries to India? 
 
 Denmark, in 1705, 
 
 53. Mention three early missionaries to 
 India? 
 
 Christian Frederick Swartz, of Germany, 
 whe went to India in 1750; William Carey, 
 of England, who went in 1798, and Dr. Duff, 
 of Scotland, who began his work in Calcutta 
 in 1830. 
 
 13 
 
54. When and by whom was the first 
 American Mission commenced in India? 
 
 In 1834 the Ameriean Presbyterian Mission 
 was commenced in North India by the Rey. 
 John C. Lowrie. 
 
 55. When was the American United Pres- 
 byterian Mission founded in India? 
 
 In 1855. 
 56. Who were the first missionaries? 
 
 Rev. and Mrs. Andrew Gordon and Miss 
 KMlizabeth G. Gordon. 
 
 57. What part of India was chosen for our 
 mission field? 
 
 The Punjab, a province in North India, 
 which had then been but a short time under 
 British control. Most of the Punjab is a great 
 plain. Along its northern frontier rise the 
 mighty Himalayas. : 
 
 58. Where was our first mission station? 
 
 At Sialkot, which is an old city of about 
 
 45,000 inhabitants, and near which is a large 
 military station. 
 
 59. Through what terrible experience did 
 our missionaries safely pass in 1857? 
 
 The Sepoy mutiny. 
 
 60. When were the first converts baptized ? 
 
 In the autumn of 1857. 
 
 61. Name the districts which have been 
 occupied by our mission. 
 
 Sialkot, Pasrur, Gujranwala, Zafarwal, 
 Jhelum, Gurdaspur, Pathankot, Rawal Pindi, 
 Bhera or Sargodha, Lyallpur, Khangah Dog- 
 ran and Sangla Hill. 
 
 14 
 
62. How is each district sub-divided? 
 
 Into stations and sub-stations, the latter 
 under the care of native workers. 
 
 63. How many foreign missionaries have - 
 been sent to the field since the mission was 
 founded? 
 
 One hundred and thirty-seven, counting 
 ordained and unordained missionaries, their 
 wives and the unordained lady missionaries. 
 
 64. How large is our field, and what is its 
 population? 
 
 Then entire length from southeast to north- 
 west is nearly 300 miles, with an average 
 width of 150 to 200 miles. The population is 
 about 5,000,000. 
 
 65. How many people are there to each 
 ordained missionary ? 
 
 About 200,000. 
 
 66. How many Christians are there under 
 the care of our missionaries? 
 
 In 1913 there were 29,525 adult members, 
 18,661 baptized children and 6054 catechu- 
 mens, a total Christian community of 54,240. 
 
 67. How many native ministers and work- 
 ers are there? 
 
 In 1913 there were: Ordained Native Minis- 
 ters, 36; Licentiates, 11; Theological Students, 
 22; Colporteurs, 11; Bible Women, 50; Other 
 Evangelistic Workers, 104; Christian Teach- 
 ers, 202; Non-Christian Teachers, 209; Hos- 
 pital Assistants, 9; Nurses, 21. Total, 655. 
 
 68. How many congregations have been 
 organized? 
 
 In 19138 there were 53 organized congrega- 
 tions and of these 30 are self-supporting. 
 
 15 
 
69. From what class do the greater part 
 of our converts come? 
 
 From the Chuhras or Sweeper class. 
 
 70. Who are the Chuhras? 
 
 The Chuhras are among the lowest of the 
 people in the Punjab. They are regarded as 
 unclean and are required to live in separate 
 quarters in the village. 
 
 They act as servants to the farmers, assist- 
 ing them in the fields. They do also the street 
 cleaning and any dirty work in city and 
 country. They are not allowed to touch the 
 food of their masters or draw water from the 
 wells. 
 
 The women do the scavenger work of the 
 village and carry away the filth of the houses 
 in baskets upon their heads. The condition 
 of these people has greatly improved in recent 
 years, many of them becoming quite in- 
 dependent of the farmers by renting land 
 and becoming their own masters. 
 
 Brick making and trading in hides fur- 
 nishes independent livelihood to increasing 
 numbers. 
 
 The most of the Chuhras are descended 
 from the Aborigines of the country and have 
 darker skins than the higher classes. They 
 worship an idol made of mud, called Bali 
 Shah. 
 
 71. How do these people receive the 
 Gospel? 
 
 In some eases, they are indifferent and 
 even hostile, but usually the missionaries are 
 weleomed and their teachings joyfully re- 
 ceived. There are so many Christian and 
 
 16 
 
inquirers from this class that it is hard to 
 find teachers enough for them. 
 
 72, Where do most of the Christians live? 
 
 In villages scattered over the districts. 
 
 73. What method do the missionaries find 
 best for reaching the people? 
 
 They go on tenting tours through their 
 districts, camping from village to village. 
 This can be done, in the greater part of our 
 field, only in the cold season. In the hot 
 season the missionaries can visit only those 
 villages within a few miles of the mission 
 houses or near travelers’ bungalows; but there 
 is always much work to be done in mission 
 centers. 
 
 74. Besides the regular work in the mis- 
 sion centers, what special work is done dur- 
 ing the hot season in almost every district? 
 
 The native helpers from the district come 
 together to study the Bible and to seek 
 spiritual advancement, and are formed into 
 schools which continue for several weeks. 
 The men are instructed by the ordained mis- 
 sionaries; their wives by the lady mission- 
 aries, 
 
 75. Why are female physicians especially 
 necessary in India? 
 
 The customs o1 the country require the 
 seclusion of women. So close is this seelu- 
 sion among many of the higher classes that no 
 matter how ill a woman may be a male physi- 
 cian is not permitted to see her. 
 
 17 
 
PART V. 
 
 76. What are the general methods of work 
 pursued by our missions, and by all missions 
 in India? 
 
 The Gospel is preached among the masses 
 in halls, churches and streets, or wherever 
 an audience may be obtained. The women 
 are reached by the lady missionaries, who 
 have access also to the homes of the people. 
 Schools are established where the secular in- 
 struction is accompanied by Bible teaching 
 and Sabbath schools are conducted. Christian 
 literature is circulated, and reading rooms 
 are founded. Pastoral work is done among 
 the native Christians, and much attention is 
 given to their instruction and to the eduea- 
 tion, training and direction of mission work- 
 ers. Hospitals and dispensaries are established 
 for the sick by medical missionaries. In 
 these, religious instruction is imparted to the 
 sufferers. 
 
 77. Wow many hospitals have been estab- 
 lished in our mission? 
 
 There are four hospitals, located at Sialkot, 
 Jhelum, Sargodha and Pasrur, also branch dis- 
 pensaries at Bhera, Kala, ‘Pathankot. 
 
 78. What is the especial work of the pete 
 missionaries ? 
 
 The instruction of the women and girls in 
 Bible truth. Heathen’women are visited in 
 their homes and taught the way of salvation. 
 Much time is given to the instruction of the 
 native Christian women, and in the super- 
 vision of girls’ schools. 
 
 18 
 
79. How many schools are there under the 
 care of our missionaries? 
 
 Schools of all grades, 207. 
 
 80. How many pupils are enrolled in these 
 schools? 
 
 There are non-Christians reading, 8112; 
 Christian boys reading, 2216; Christian girls 
 reading, 803. Total, 11131. 
 
 81. Where are the largest schools for boys 
 located?
