How deep the shadows lie, how few are the points of illumination still; yet how surely the Light of the world has dawned; and in what ways we may help to bring the coming Everlasting Day, these pages seek to show.<\/p>\n<p>They are very simple pages; glimpses caught in a brief winter visit of three months, commonplace glimpses such as everyone sees who has the privilege of visiting our vast Eastern Empire. As a traveller&#8217;s tale their view is. limited &#8211; Bombay, Poona, Anantapur, Madras, Calcutta, Darjeeling, Benares, Mirzapur, voila tout. But where we did not go in fact, we have since gone in heart, and with the help of Dr. George Smith&#8217;s Conversion of India, of Mr.Wilder&#8217;s Appeal from India, and of every other Indian missionary book I could obtain, I have tried to bring together facts for the whole Empire, and to justify from the missionary standpoint the title Across India at the Dawn of the 20th Century. <strong>[<a href=\"https:\/\/missiology.org.uk\/pdf\/e-books\/guinness_lucy-e\/across-india_guinness.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Continue reading<\/a>]<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lucy Evangeline Guinness [1865-1906] wrote this book during the course of a three month tour to India with her father Henry Grattan Guinness [1835-1910].
