Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Wonderful Story of the on Pioneer Mission, Founded on Prayer, Launched in Faith, February 11th The North-west frontier of British India, on account of the turbulent character of its many Mahommedan tribes, has in the past years been brought prominently before the British public and much has been learned of the manners and customs of the people. On the other hand, of the numerous tribes which inhabit the mountainous north-east frontier comparatively little is known to those of the outer civilized world. Assam, the most easterly province of the Indian Empire, consists of the great Brahmapootra Valley in the north, and the Surma Valley in the south, together with the hills forming the watershed between them, and parts of the wild mountainous tracts which separate India from Tibet and Burmah. Whilst the spiritual interests of the inhabitants of the valleys and of the hills forming the watershed are being cared for by two missionary societies, the tribes living in the unsurveyed forests and mountains of the border were, for the most part, wholly unevangelised; especially was this true of those in the extreme southeastern corner inhabiting the North Arakan Yoma Mountains lying between the sea coast of the Bay of Bengal and Burmah. These wild hillsmen afford a most encouraging field of labour for the Christian missionary, for, unlike the Hindoos and Mahommedans, they are unprejudiced,, and having, apparently, no real religion of their own arewilling to accept whatever is first brought to them. Numbers of these simple people are constantly coming in contact with Hindoo traders, and are fast becoming Hindooised. Where this has happened they have become far more attached to their new religion than the strictest of the Hindoos themselves, and it has been found then that their conversion to Christianity is almost hopeless.
