Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Overweights of Joy I have been frequently asked by readers of Miss Wilson-Carmichael´s former book, Things as They Are, and sometimes with considerable incredulity, "But is it really true?" I take this opportunity of saying, once for all, that, so far as my experience goes, after twenty years of Missionary work in Southern India, I can endorse it as quite true. An Indian civilian, whose duties lie in that part of this great continent with which the book specially deals, expressed to us his surprise that anyone should be startled by what they call its "sad revelations"; for, as he said, "they are commonplaces to many of us out here." Possibly he had seen things "under the surface," which do not lie patent to the view of all, whether missionaries or civilians. However that may be, I repeat my personal testimony that Miss Carmichael has accurately described "things as they are," writing from a special standpoint. It is true, absolutely true, that indifference to the glad tidings of the Gospel is the order of the day among the multitude of non-Christians who surround us here. As Dr. Miller put it so well at the Keswick Convention of 1903, speaking of the people of Hausaland, "Make no mistake. They do not want the Gospel; but they sorely need the Gospel."
