Short History of Chhattisgarh Evangelical Mission

Taking sides in a family or village dispute with a view to conversion is an old story.  In the book ""N>ÎmrgJT> Ed|O{obH$b H$brog`m H$m g§ojßV BoVhmg'' (Short history of Chhattisgarh Evangelical Mission) written in 1935 by M.M. Pal with a foreward from Rev. Gass and published, it is said about Rev. Lore:-

This was about the year 1868.  Colonel Walman was then the Deputy Commissioner of the district (Raipur).  Rev. Lore and the Deputy Commissioner were in the thickest of term. In fact it was at the suggession of the Deputy Commissioner that Rev. Lore settled at Bisrampur and it was due to the Deputy Commissioner himself that a vast Government area was acquired by the Mission.  Famine has been another cause is also clear from that book.  Describing at page of that period the following occurs:-

With reference to the famine of 1897-98, it is stated at page 20 of the book:-

The use of medical relief for conversion is also an old story.  Writing about Thakur Tadosingh who was then ill, the book says:-

Dealing about the duties of a Pracharak the instruction is that a Pracharak in order to gain easy access among non-Christian population should know something of medicine. He will then be in demand when there is any ill in the house.  There he should use his influence to baptise the sick child telling his parent that this would bring recovery to the patient.  This does not succeed then-

The book �Satyanami Panth�, published by the Christian Book Depot, Raipur (M.P.), in the year 1949, is a model of misrepresentation with a view to mass conversion.  Like Ramnam (am_ Zm_) Satyanama (gË` Zm_) is sacred among the Satyanamis.  At page 5 of the book and in other places also it is written that Satyanama really stands for Jesus Christ.

In this book it is further written that Ghasidas the founder and the Guru of Satyanamis who was an pilgrimage to Jagannath, heard at Katak the preaching of the Christian Missionaries one of whom was a white man.  On hearing them he left going to Jagannath and decided to preach the gospel of Jesus which was real Satyanam.

In the �National Missionary Intelligencer� of April 1954, occurs the following, which may be read with interest:-

On the recommendation of an informal conference of the delegates to the Federation Conference of January 1951 held at St. Mathew�s Church, Guntur, at 5-30 p.m. on 31st January, immediately after the Federation Session ended at which Prof.  B. Sundkler, Member of the L. W. F. Commission on World Missions was present, the Lutheran N. M. S. Council at its meeting on 1st February decided to open Ambikapur as a second Mission Station along with Kotma in Rewa.  It was clear that the Lutheran N. M. S. could not command financial resources for any task beyond the slower development of the Rewa work from Kotma westward to Anuppur and Sahdol.  As the informal meeting urged strongly that the hill-tribe possibilities for which the Lutheran Church alone had the needed resources and personnel should be taken advantage of with financial assistance from the west on the basis of �partnership in obedience�, the L. N. M. S. Council put the matter before Dr. F. A. Schiotz, Chairman of the L. W. F. Commission on World Missions.  This appeal was backed by certain influential non-Indian Missionary leaders notably by the Federation President, Dr. C. W. Oberdorfer with the result that the Commission on Younger Churches and Orphaned Missions (CYCOM) sent a timely grant of 1,500,00 which enabled the Lutheran N. M. S. to secure the services of the needed Uraon personnel.

In the booklet �Janjgir� describing the Jinjgir Mission published in August 1947, S. T. Moyer says:-

Page 10.-All around in two thousand villages there was not a single soul that knew of Jesus, the Saviour from sic, the Water of Life.  In this same territory were at least 10,000 shrines filled with vulgar and hideous images.  The lives of the inhabitants of the land were controlled by fear of evil spirits and fear of offended gods and goddesses.

Page 16.-Since a stable National Government requires solid character to be successful, and the ultimate source of character is Jesus Christ, conversion becomes a national necessity.
 

In the booklet �What are you doing here� by S. T. Moyer, published in April 1947, the following occurs at page 4:-

But we from India, knowing the shackles of the hideous gods and goddesses can truthfully say of India, �According to the number of my villages, 7,00,000 of them, there are 450 times as many gods and godesses in that land with a hungry soul, yea a famished body and soul� Of these 7,00,000, there are 6,40,000 without a single Christian in them.  There remaineth much land to be possessed.
