O knihe

Excerpt from India; Making and Forsaking Gods: Published in Commemoration of the Centenary of the Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church

This little book does not attempt to give a full account of either the Centenary Campaign or the establishment of the Methodist Episcopal Church in India. All that has been attempted is a sketch of what might possibly be of more general inter est to the reader, whether in India or America. Naturally, in touching on the beginnings of our work in this land, that part of our field where the foundations were laid has received special mention. This was unavoidable, and should not be taken to imply that other sections of Methodism's field in India are less important.

It is significant that the period of an enlarged episcopal supervision for the work of the Methodist Episcopal Church in India synchronised with the wider and more intensive effort of our Church represented by the Centenary Movement. The arrival of Bishop F. B. Fisher and Bishop H. Lester Smith, coming as they did from the very heart of the great Centenary enterprise in America, brought a notable reinforcement to the cause of the Centenary in India. Bishop J. E. Robinson retired in Ic, but has been as keen as ever, while Bishop Warne and Bishop J. W. Robinson have continued, in season and out of season, to bear such burdens as few on this field or any other have ever had to assume.
