BAPTIST MISSIONARY
VISIT TO MASTERTON. INTERESTING ADDRESS. On Monday evening Miss E. Coad, a Baptist missionary from East Bengal, India, addressed an informal gathering in the home of Mr and Mrs W. Teeboon, Lansdowne. Miss Coad’s talk, which was illustrated by lantern slides, was extremely interesting. She spoke of the habits of the Bengal people and their idol worship and how the Gospel of Christianity was affecting the lives of these people, the effect being very noticeable after two or three generations in a Christian family. She told of the methods used by the missionaries, who in that part of India, are all New Zealanders, in visitations, in talks in market places, and in the selling of Gospels and literature in the railway stations and other busy places, and also of the journeys made in the mission boat over the flooded rice fields in the rainy season to carry the Gospel to villages otherwise inacessible. Miss Coad was presented with a bouquet by Mrs C. W. Gaze, of Carterton, and was very warmly thanked for her interesting address.
