Description
"The india mela, or religious fair, is resorted to by thousands of pilgrims and affords a unique opportunity to the C. M. S. Missionary, Native, Students, and Agents of preaching Christ. Speaking, reading, question and answer are continuous by day, and magic-lantern pictures are shown at night." "Church Missionary Society, Salisbury Square, E. C., 'Picture and Fact' Post Cards".
