A Brahman while visiting a mission
ary saw on the wall of his home a pic
ture of Christ washing the disciples'
feet. After studying the scene for a-
while he turned to the missionary and
said, "Your Christians pretend to fol
low Christ, but I have never seen any
of you washing people's
feet." Then
with measured words the missionary re
plied, "But that is just what we are
doing here in India all the time! Ac
cording to your sacred books the Branmans
sprang from the head of your god,
Brahm; the soldier caste from his
shoulders, the merchant caste from his
loins and the low caste from his feet
We are daily washing India's feet. Some
day when you see the low caste and the
outcast clean, educated and holy, you
and all India will say to Christ, like the
Apostle Peter, 'Lord, not my
but also my hands and my head.' "
