The Diary of Rev. Dr. John Aberly

REV. DR. JOHN ABERLY and his wife Alice worked as a team among the Telugu people of Guntur District in India from 1889 to 1923. They cared for and helped educate two generations of Telugu Church leaders. Alice worked with boarding school children, women of the congregation, church music, and gave most gracious hospitality to many visitors. Dr. Aberly edited various church periodicals in Telugu, commentaries for seven books of the Bible, and a complete Telugu Bible Dictionary which took 20 years to complete. The diaries are compiled and annotated by Rev. Sam Schmitthenner, who worked as a missionary in India for thirty years.
