SINGH ii Mrs.ArthurParker SADHU SUNDAR SINGH SADHU SUNDAR SINGH CALLED OF GOD BY MRS. ARTHUR PARKER, London Missionary Society, Trivandram, S. India. NEW YORK CHICAGO Fleming H. Revell Company LONDON AND EDINBURGH Copyright Copyright, 1920, by FLEMING H. REVELL COMPANY New York: 158 Fifth Avenue Chicago: 17 North Wabash Ave. London: 21 Paternostei Square Edinburgh 75 Princes Street TO MY DEAR HUSBAND WHO THROUGH THIRTY YEARS HAS KEPT ME"FAITHFUL TO THE BEST THINGS OF LIFE. FOREWORD THIS little book was originally intended for the use of Christian women of the Malayalam country, but the writer has been persuaded to issue an English edition. Nearly the whole of the matter has been the subject of conversations with the Sadhu himself, with whom we have enjoyed much inspiring companionship and with whose permission the book is issued. This word picture of a true servant of the Great Master should be an inspiration to all Christian men and women in India, and it docs not seem too much to hope that Indians of all classes will see how truly Jesus Christ can manifest Himself in and through the people of this great land, and how worthy He is to be India's Lord and Saviour. ARTHUR PARKER. London Mission, Trivandram. A LETTER FROM SADHU SUNDAR SINGH (WRITTEN IN ROMAN-URDU) Jab main is chhothi kitab ka MSS dekh raha tha to yih bat safai so dekhne men ai ki Khuda ki Ruh ne kaise ajib taur se Mrs. R. J. Parker ki madad aur hidayat ki, ki sari baten bagairkisigalatiki likhin, aurmujhe yaqin hai, ki musannif ki mihnat Khuda ke jalal aur bahuton ke ruhani faida ki bais hogi. Aur unko madad milegi jo mushkilat men hain, jis tarah ki main tha, aur khass kar yih malum, karke, ki Khudawand kis tarah mujhe jaise bare gunahgar ko bacha kar apni muhabbat aur fazl se apni khidmat ke liye chun leta hai. Aj main shukarguzari ke sdth apne tajruba 13 baras ke experience se kah sakta him ki Masih aj kal aur hamesha yaksan hai (Hebrews xiii. 8). Men dua hai ki Khuda in chand baton ke auron ki ruhani madad aur apni jalal ke liye istiamal kare. Amin. (Signed) SUNDAR SINGH. September 3, 1918. TRANSLATION When I saw the manuscript of this little book I saw clearly in what a wonderful way the spirit of God had helped and guided Mrs. R. J. Parker so that she had written it without any mistake, and I am certain that the author's work will be for the glory of God and a means of spiritual benefit to many. Also that those who are in the midst of difficulties such as I was, will receive help, and especially will learn how the Lord saved so great a sinner as myself, and by His love and grace chose me for His service. To-day I can say with thankfulness after thirteen years of experience that Christ is the same yesterday, and to-day, and for ever (Hebrews xiii. 8). My prayer is that God will use these few words for His glory and for the spiritual help of others. Amen. (Signed) SUNDAB SINGH. September 3, 1918. HAST thou heard Him, seen Him, known Him, Is not thine a captured heart ? Chiefamong ten thousand own Him, Joyful choose the better part. What has stripped the seeming beauty From the idols of the earth ? Not a sense of right or duty, But the sight ofpeerless worth. Not the crushing of those idols, With its bitter void and smart ; But the beaming of His beauty, The unveiling of His heart ! 'Tis that look that melted Peter, "Tis that face that Stephen saw, 'Tis that heart that wept with Mary Can alone from idols draw. Draw and win and fill completely, Till the cup o'erflow the brim ; What have we to do with idols Who have companied with Him ?
