Life and work in India; an account of the conditions, methods, difficulties, results, future prospects and reflex influence of missionary labor in India, especially in the Punjab mission of the United Presbyterian Church of North America . ur Seminary has never been very large,chiefly because few men were admitted under the care of the Presby-tery as students of theology. The reasons why more were not thusadmitted can be given more appropriately hereafter.* That our Seminary has done good, however, will not be except two of the native ministers that have been ordained withinour bounds since 1880 have received the most or the whole of theirtheological education within its walls, as have also all our licentiates,and several other persons who are useful laborers in our own andneighboring Missions.
