An Indian pilgrimage; travel notes of a visit to the Indian fields of the Church of Scotland . out The Church f Two episodes of theweek bore eloquent witness that with the Church itis well, and this whether we think of the Church inthe narrower sense as the local congregation, or in thewider sense as the Body of Christ in the Eastern Hima-layan Field. We were exceptionally fortunate in the date of ourvisit. Sunday was Christmas Day, and with the Christ-mas Service there was combined a Harvest ThanksgivingService, for it was the time of the harvest. Four localcongregations joined their forces for the day, the parentcongregation of Kalimpong and three country congrega-tions from parishes not far off. The beautiful chmchwas filled, which means that over 400 worshippers werepresent, and the harvest gifts made rare stalks of sugar-cane formed an arch over thechancel, and decorations were on every side. But themost striking offerings came when along the aisle marchedmen and women laden with sacks of rice or maize ormillet, which they emptied on the heaps that steadily.
