for the want of Kaminikanta. She then asked whether Sarala would con- sent if her husband wished to christen her. Her husband did no unjust deed by accepting Christianity, was the reply of Sarala. If, therefore, her husband would take her, she would readily go. Hemangi then consoled her saying that she would straightway tell her husband about her distress and would ask him to tell Kaminikanta to make arrangements to take his wife soon.
Coming home, Hemangi narrated to her husband all about Sarala's distress and grief and requested him to meet Kaminikanta and consider the matter. Leaving home, Kaminikanta had been, during that time in Simla with some missionaries. Narendra went even to Simla and met Kamini- kanta.

Not that the greatness of Christianity alone was proclaimed in these letters but the anta- gonism of other religions were also found to express. The last part of the book is mostly filled up with Kairinikanta's eight and Sarala's four letters. Though Sarala was at first scrupulous about accepting Christian faith
