MISSION WORK IN INDIA
ADDRESSES TO BE GIVEN IN CHRISTCHURCH
Indian topics will be discussed on “people’s night” of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of New Zealand, to be held in St. Paul’s Church, Christchurch, at the end of this month. The speakers will be the Rev. Dr. W. Morton Ryburn, an authority on education in India and a missionary of the Presbyterian Church of New Zealand, and the Rev. J. E. M. S. Ram, a young minister from the United Church of North India, who is doing post-graduate study in New Zealand. Dr. Ryburn served with the New Zealand forces during World War I, and then studied for the ministry. His work in India since 1922 has been mainly concerned with education. The Christian Boys’ High School at Kharar, in the Punjab, with which he has been associated,, has become one of the largest and best known post-primary schools in North India.
At Kharar Dr. Ryburn established a Christian press, which today produces Christian literature in several languages. A training institution for teachers is also supervised by Dr. Ryburn. Mr Ram has specialised in youth work, and is the first minister to come to New Zealand under a scheme by which the Presbyterian Church is assisting the younger churches in the missionary areas.
