' From head hunting to the Hallelujah Chorus '
Kate Hughes
Today's missionary talk is to be about the people of the Lushai Hills, on the border of Burma, amongst whom Kate Hughes , of the Presbyterian Church of Wales Mission, has been working for many years. Fifty years ago they were a nation of head-hunters, remote from civilisation. Today, owing to nearly forty years' work by the Mission, there are 65,000 Christians in the country, 300 churches, and 200 elementary schools. Miss Hughes is to describe how she took a choir of children of head-hunters on a singing tour through India, the programme varying from Lushai hymns to the Hallelujah Chorus. They were welcomed everywhere, and before returning, they broadcast in Calcutta.
