Excerpt from Indian Gems for the Master's Crown: The Indian Devotee and His Disciples; From Bondage to Freedom; Or, the Life of Tulsi Paul The object of the writer, in putting forth this story of real life originally, was to instruct and interest the native Christians of India in the conversion of the villagers to Christ, but her object in wishing to put it before the English public is a little different. She wishes to interest and instruct, but in a different way. The story has been translated into several foreign languages, and all who have read it say how Simply it puts before the European the difficulties and trials of men in the East who wish to become Christians, and how much more real it makes missionary work and its difficulties.
