WELCOME TO HOLY NATION-USA INTERNATIONAL MINISTRY
Moving Millions
The Pagent of Modern India
Introduction by Robert E. Speer
Nowhere else in condensed and yet adequate form can any such account of present day India be found as is presented in this little book. The writers are all sympathetic friends of India, loving India so much that they are giving their lives to her service. They know the conditions of which they write and they set forth in an absolutely trustworthy way the present situation of India's more than three hundred million* people. Their account of the political situation is more hopeful than it could have been one or two years ago. And the stir among the Untouchables and the steady growth of the Church give evidence of the greatness of the missionary opportunity.
Indeed the door of opportunity for Christianity never was more open in India in the past and it is more open than in any other land in the world today. There is no abridgement of religious liberty by law. The caste system, social pressure, the communal system of elections, the constraint of religious traditionalism and economic conditions hamper a free response to the appeal of the Gospel, but these moral and social hindrances cannot invoke any legal prohibition to the free preaching of Christianity and to its free acceptance. It is clear, morover, that these millions are in reality moving. Already the profoundest changes have taken place. The deepest and greatest of all changes is yet to take place in India's acceptance of Christ.
Long ago the voice of Keshab Chunder Sen of the Brahmo Samaj proclaimed what would some day occur. When in 1879 he delivered his address on "Who is Christ?" he declared that India was "destined to become Christian" and "could not escape her destiny." And then he added, "Gentlemen, you cannot deny that your hearts have been touched, conquered, and subjugated by a higher power. That power, need I tell you, is Christ. It is Christ who rules British India, not the British government. None but Jesus, none but Jesus, none but Jesus ever dreamed this bright, this precious diadem, India, and Jesus shall have it."
Contemporary voices are saying as much. A modern leader of the Brahmo Samaj declares, "There is no one else seriously bidding for the heart of the world except Jesus Christ. There is no on else on the field."
May the study of this book not only give to its readers a reliable and sympathetic picture of the India of today but may it also lead many of them to give their lives to India's evangelization and Christian service.
