30 miles an hour between Barrow and Whallej will note with speclali Interest that the speec limit has been remoVed from Barrow Prlnt- worte to Bramley MOade. All along, I fear,^ the speed limit on this length has been honoured more ini the breach than the observance, save when police patrol cars were about. ” Oh, yes! I’ye always observed It— I Mways dropped down to 40 miles-an hour, on that stretch,’' a motoring friend told me. That about sums up ithe position, and there couldn’t be much point In maintaining a limit which could not be enforced except by con-: Btant trapping. T hat Is why the limit has been swept away In this instance, I expect. After all, however, the change cannot make: any vast difference. iThe length involved Is short of a mile so that'the “Saving” of time effected by a driver travelling at dxty Instead of thirty miles an hour Is less than a minute. Frankly, the condition of the ’’sets’' at some points on that mile, especially in wet weather, does not encourage high speeds.

ment began with the Incoming of the out- castes,! Mrs. Whitbread explained that; Hindoolsm had a society that was divided Into castes, of which the aristocracy were thej Brahmin priests.. There were 60,000,000 who, came Into the category of outcastes; for' centuries they had been the. slaves, and al­ most the prisoners, of the landowners and of the caste people. The Hindoo system claimed that these people deseryed their degradation; they were outcasts because of great sin com­ mitted [in their previous! existence and that they werO called upon to expiate their sins in this[ fashion'. -No wonder they had lost their self-respect and lived a hopeless and pathetic kind of life. It was the power of the Gospel which was bringing them into the kingdom of God. Missionaries had cared for the social and economic conditions of the people,i medically, Industrially and educa­ tionally, as well as spiritually. Perhaps, at home we had, approached our task from the wrong angle, trying, maybe, to uplift the people sociallj^ without [regard to their souls. It was true, to India that where the love of Qod had dwelt to the hearts and intods ot the outcastes, betterment of the conditions had followed to many cases.

The needs of the outcastes were great, but. the greatest need of all was spiritual The ; spread! of the gospel amongst these people had produced amazing results,' so much so that the castes themselves were seeking this new religion which had made such a differ­ ence to the lives of those who fonnerly were


jegarded as lower thtto the beasts of the field. The witness of the power of Christ had had a tremendous effect. Christ was breaking down barriers to India. One of the difficult­ ies was the many denominations, some of which [overlapped and were harmful to the common cause. The Indians could not under­ stand, our “labels," but to South India the Church was rapidly moving towards union. Here again, India set ail example to this • country and she hoped that time would soon come when the churches in England would be one to Jesus Christ, not working against


each other, but united to the same cause and working towaids the ■ same end. WISWELL.
