Seven Years in Ceylon

IND friends have often asked us why at the many meetings which we have addressed in behalf of the work of the Jaffna College in Ceylon and the General Medical Mission about to be inaugurated in connection with it we have not told more about the specific work in which we ourselves were engaged during the seven years which we spend in Ceylon as missionaries. Our reply has been that as we came to Great Britain with the special object of searching 30000 for this College and Medical Mission the time at our meetings has usually been consumed in presenting the claims of these special causes. But while this was so we have often wished that we had a compilation of some of the letters written from Ceylon at different times giving our actual every-day experiences to present to such kind friends.
