An Indian pilgrimage; travel notes of a visit to the Indian fields of the Church of Scotland . he kirk and the many friendsof the kirk, spoke a warm welcome to the two Scottishpilgrims, whose Indian tour was finishing, and to hisover-generous words I had to reply. To express thankswas easy. It was both a pleasure and a privilege. Butmore was needed on an occasion like this. At the PoonaMissionary Conference, with its seventy missionaries,one had in effect said farewell to the general missionarybody. To-day was practically a Farewell to ourBritish countrymen in India ; and I gladly embracedthe opportunity to express the warmest appreciation oftheir high courage and calm steadfastness in very diffi-cult times. All through the tour this had been increas-ingly impressed upon me. Compared with the Europeansin India in my own old Indian days, those who are thereto-day have a difficult life to live. So far as the materialcomforts of life are concerned they are more richlysupplied than we were. It is now the day of the motor-car, thee lectric light, and the electric fan—very superior.
