The Church of Great
Britain, using the word in its widest acceptation, at all adequately heard or
acted upon the call to go over and help India .? Taking India as a whole, the
Church of Christ is in contact chiefly with three great groups of people- the
Hindus, the Mohammedans and the depressed classes. It is common knowledge that
the last group is very accessible to Christian teaching.
Both the Hindu and Muslim religions are peculiarly resistant
to the impact of Christianity. This is well known for the continued
presentation of Christianity to Hindus and Muslims there is no more potent agency
than the work of medical Missions.
For the very beginning we have to go back to the year 1854,
when the late Rev. Robert Clark, a true missionary statesman, made an extended
tour in the Mountain Kingdom. It was not until the spring of 1864 that Mr Clark
really opened his campaign and started regular work in the valley of Kashmir.
This was done under circumstances of extreme difficulty. In 1879 Dr. Downes had
a record of just 5000 patients, with a considerable number of important operations
and during that year he admitted 703 patients.
Dr. Downes, whose health had been shattered by overwork, was succeeded by Dr. Arthur Neve, who remained in charge for more than a third of the century
