DescriptionUnion Chapel, Dhurrumtollah: The interior of this Chapel contains many plain but effecting memorials of the brevity of human life devoted to the noblest and best causes of Christian Missions, and which tells a sad tale as to the fearful nature of the climate in which these good men lived and died, and in which many are still permitted to labor and pray for the welfare of the people.
