Excerpt from A Winter in India and Malaysia Among the Methodist Missions The author of A Winter in India and Malaysia is a busy pastor, and a faithful student of men and coun tries. His lines of study had reached out widely, and for years he had utilized his spare time in a careful examination into the progress, the life, and the achieve ments of the great nations of history. As his studies advanced he became keenly sensible of the need of a personal visit to distant nations yet in the darkness, or at best in the gray dawn of a new period. He saw India and Malaysia with the eye of a careful observer. He seems to have become absorbed, the farther he jour neyed, in the missionary feeling, until in time his mis sionary passion overpowered all else. In describing the life, architecture, and countries of India and Malay sia he never once forgot the supreme need of the Gospel.
