XXII.
The Protestant Church at Secunderabad.
St. John's Church, here represented, is a good example of the usual Protestant churches in India. It is calculated to accommodate about 400 persons. The Christian and Mussulman religions may be said to meet at Secunderabad, for the granitic hills around the town are surmounted by numerous tombs of Mussulman ascetics who are regarded as saints, and to whose resting-places numerous pilgrimages are performed; while the Christian religion is largely represented by the numerous British troops stationed at Secunderabad.
