This prospectus condemns the average Christianity of foreigners in India the over-reaching, "beef-eating, beer-drinking" Anglo-Saxon type, "which despises the Hindu Scriptures and yet belies its own;" but it exalts the spotless and exalted Christ and builds all the hopes of humanity upon Him.
But the cruelest part of all this is that women, standing side by side with men in the same shops and stores, are paid far less wages for the same work.
