There were two British colonies. Cape Colony and Natal; two Boer colonies, the Transvaal and the Orange Free State. In all of them, Gandhi found the Indian problem very acute. There were some 150,100 Indians of all classes, castes and religious faiths Judge William R. Lewis presided at the trial of the rites and duly registered in South Africa.

At one swoop this ignored all marriages perfoimed according to Hindu or Moslem rites among the workers from India. Gandhi decided that the time to fight had arrived. He forged a weapon which was new to the world passive resistance. At 'Ms Toistoyan farm colony near Durban he trained his helpers. They would lay down thIr tools.

They would stop work. They would resort to no physical violence or reply to violence with violence. Indentured workmen refused to work. Indian miners left the coal mines.

While the State association enrolls 10,335 Sunday schools, with nearly 2, 125,000 students, teachers and officers, this is only one tenth of the entire United States Sunday school population.

Contributions in money from the state association are about 30 per cent of the total amount received from the state associations. In leadership training, Pennsylvania Is pre eminently to the fore, as always. Twenty per cent of all the work reported in the United States to the International council in this important former South Afrlcin state into another, disobeying orders not to do so and deliberately courting arrest.

No matter what their clsss, they were all lumped togetner under the opprobrious designation of "coolies." Gandhi himself faced the color question. He was compell to take off his turban in some places. Despite the fact that he bought first class ticket on the railways he was compelied to travel in the third class because he was an Indian.

He found no good hotel which would take him in. He was barred from good restaurants. In 1896 he returned to India for a short visit. He spoke about tl difficulties of Hindus In South Afrtrt. He wrote a pamphlet about it.

He called attention to the unjust tax which was levied on indentured wxkrr.er.. This imposition $15 was so steep for a poor workmen that he could not afford to pay it. For lack of payment he was often prevented from going back to India. Perforce he had to stay in South Africa and sell his labor at a cheap But garbled reports of what Gandhi had written and said were cabled back to South Africa and feeling against him ran high.

In later years for his work in Sown Africa, Lord Hardinge, then viceroy of India, bestowed upon the mucr. coveted Kaier i Hlnd gold medal. The wars over, Gandhi once more had a chance to think of the wrong of his countrymen. Not only hid the $15 tax r.ot been tcken off the indentured wcrkingmen, but a new grievance had arore.

Gandhi realised that he had an instrument to his hand which could be used in a levser field seme day. In 1914 Gandhi sailed for England Intending to remain there a short time aai then return to India. But on the dav he landed in England, he learned that Germany had declared war. He at once offered to enlist for the whole duration of the war and undertake ambulance work at the front. His oflcr was accepted eagerly.

But the viceroy assured him bU presence was more needed at home.

He had become a powerful leader. His advice was valued. His outspoken words against secret revolutionary plots for assassination of prominent Englishmen in India carried weight. In the closing year tf the war he went on a tour of the village, urging his countrymen to.enll?'', and fight the Turks nrA Germans. The tour almost cast his life.

He became infected with violent dysentery and at one time was considered to be on his death bed. In the meantime, when net serving the British government and when not ill, hfi was intervening in various disputes between his people and the government and usually bringing about a peaceful seitlemciit.
