...crime." This manifesto obviously broke the four missionaries' pledges. But the British authorities wisely lay low, let the Methodist bishops in India (who rule 256 churches, 106,237 communicants) make the running by asking their Board of Foreign Missions in Manhattan to recall Jay Holmes Smith of Lucknow, Paul K. Keene of Mussoorie, Mr. & Mrs. Ralph T. Templin of Muttra. Missionaries Smith and Keene obediently went home. The Templins refused at first, finally returned to the U. S. last month...
...Jones, who humbly calls himself "evangelist to the high castes of India." Dr. Jones went to India as a Methodist missionary in 1907, has since converted many a Brahman, written nine books (best-known: The Christ of the Indian Road, with sales past the 600,000 mark), founded at Lucknow the first Christian Ashram (from an Indian word meaning "a forest colony for spiritual fellowship and meditation"). In Indian costume-a long white cloak, tight trousers, sandals-Dr. Jones last summer led two Ashrams at Saugatuck, Mich, and Blue Ridge, N. C. as part of the spiritual preparation...
...some militantly pacifist missionaries, this declaration ran smack athwart the Methodist social creed: "We stand for the repudiation of war. . . . The Methodist Church as an institution cannot endorse war nor support or participate in it." Last December four of these U. S. missionaries-Jay Holmes Smith of Lucknow, Paul K.

...Ashram (retreat) in Lucknow, India is the spiritual home, and sometimes the physical home, of the world's greatest Christian missionary-Dr. Eli Stanley Jones, Methodist, author of The Christ of the Indian Road, evangelist to high-caste Hindus, who call him Rishi (a saint). From his Ashram last summer Dr. Jones wrote his friends about the Kingdom of God, declaring: "Never have I been so convinced that this is the one hope of the human race. How my heart tingles with joy that we have such a message for such a time as this." Missionary Jones then left...
...society sent to India one of the most famed missionaries of all time, Isabella Thoburn. For her it named Asia's first college for women-in Lucknow, India. It dispatched to the East the first U. S. woman doctor, Clara Swain. Today the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society, spending some $1,500,000 a year on 5,500 missionaries, Bible women and other workers in 17 lands, is the largest U. S. organization of its kind. Last week, not without some pangs and misgivings, it faced the prospect of losing its identity-in the impending merger...
