First Report from Dunn Minister
Carter Arrives In Bombay
-*4
By: Rev. Herbert Carter
It is Friday April 6. I have just
landed in Bombay, India, the gate
way of India and the East. It was
not my intention to stop here, but
I could not get today’s flight into
Cochin. There is only one a day„
so I find myself at the Taj-Mahal
Ilotel for one night.
I am glad things happened as
they did. so as to give me one
night in this “delightfully fantas
tic” city of the East.
A city has Deen described as “an
epitome of the social world. All
the belts of civilization intersect
along its avenues. It contains the
product of every moral zone and
is cosmopolitan not only in) a na
tional but in a moral and spiritual
sense.” This description applies
to Bombay:
Bombay has kept pace with the
march of civilization at home and
abroad. On the hazardous high
way of history she has proven her
self to be the gateway to the East
by admitting all that was good,
end suited to her natural genius
and discarding all that did not
keep pace with the march of civi

lization.
Greater Bombay is made yp of
seven islands, but it would be
wrong to call it an island today.
It is rather a peninsula attach
ed to the mainland.
The early inhabitants of this
area could only have been cave
men. While there is much that is
modern here, it is yet true that
modern civilization has not suc
ceeded in changing the way of
life of all these people altogether.
Dating back to 1000 years be
fore Christ, this city has been al
most constantly shifting from one
rule to another. All the way froth
the great Buddhist Emperor Aso
ka to the present day independ
ance enjoyed by the city and the
nation of India as well. At ope
time in history the city was given
to King Charles II of England as
a wedding- vgift when he married
Princess Catherine de Braganza .if
Portugal Thus Bombay came into
the hands of the British by an
