think it strange to meet an educational missionary on tour, doing
evangelistic educational work. Evangelistic work is educational to the core, and it leads to educational results. No evangelistic work amongst an illiterate, or a literate, people can be really complete, if it does not lead at once to the organisation of education amongst the converts and hearers. The illiterate must be taught to read the Gospels, and it demands an expert in the teaching of illiterates to direct their studies; the illiterate and the literate converts alike must be taught to transform that education which they all give daily to their children, whether in the home or in a school, into Christian education, and this too demands the attention of a skilled educationalist. This work is invaluable and most exciting and interesting work, and must produce results which, for the establishment of the Church, are almost incalculably important. As then for the medical missionaries, so for the educationalists we ask:-- ------------+------------+---------------+-------------+------------ Evangelistic| Number of | Number of | Number of |Conclusions Tours. |Evangelistic|Educationalists|Days Spent by|and Remarks. | Workers. | Assisting. | Evangelists | | | | on Tour. | ------------+------------+---------------+-------------+------------ | | | | ------------+------------+---------------+-------------+------------ When we turn to the immediate evangelistic results of the education given in the station district, we labour under difficulties even greater than those which we met when we tried to formulate tables to reveal the extent to which medical missions were effective as an evangelistic agency. |
