An Indian pilgrimage; travel notes of a visit to the Indian fields of the Church of Scotland . an openmind with regard to Union with the Anglican and theMar Thoma Syrian Church, it is at present so engagedwith domestic problems that it regrets it has not beenable to give full consideration to the question of thiswider union. This is not the spirit that leads to Union. Yet onenever knows what may happen in such matters inIndia. In the history of the only really indigenousIndian Church—^the Syrian Church of Malabar—therehave been fateful Unions accomplished, when to themthe whole Church was apathetic or even antagonistic,and yet was finally led by the strong advocacy of anearnest and determined few. Probably when Lambethgoes further, and recognises frankly the full validity ofother ordination than Episcopal, South India will gofurther too. Then, without sacrifice of any principle,and without any weakening of the ties that link theSouth India United Church with the Mother Churchesof the West, Union will come. That will be a glad dayfor South India, and for Indian Women oi Arkonam Congregation. ^^^,-«\^
