Chanpatia: Dispensary, India, ca. 1906

Tinted lantern slide showing a male European missionary, Mr Wynd, who joined the mission of Regions Beyond Missionary Union in Bihar in 1901. My Wynd sits on a wicker chair in front of two buildings (one brick, one thatched), and is surrounded by a group of Indian men, women and children in traditional dress. Chanpatia was opened up as a mission station by Regions Beyond Missionary Union in 1905. The original caption to the slide reads: "Chanpatia: Dispensary - Mr Wynd has a Quiet Talk with the patients." This slide comes from a collection created by missionaries from Regions Beyond Missionary Union, an interdenominational Protestant evangelical mission working in northeast India (Bihar and Orissa) and Nepal.
