Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thirty-Second Annual Report of the American Madura Mission, 1866 In two congregations at Dindigul the people have under great difficulties built convenient places of worship with but very little aid from the Missionary. In one case the build ing was completed, when, under the pressure of famine, it was no uncommon thing for the people in that vicinity to take the thatch from their dwelling houses to keep their starving cattle alive. The opposition of the Romanists at this station is a marked feature in the work. Many of our people were formerly Romanists, and 011 leaving that church met with opposition and persecution from former friends and relatives. This year a noble opportunity has been improved to obey the scriptural injunction to return good for evil, to heap coals of fire on the heads of our enemies. In the prevalence of cholera many of these persecutors have received medicine of the Missionary, and attention and care from the catechists. May it lead them to give up. Their opposition, and examine for themselves the claims of the gospel. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
