WILLIAM CAREY

Carey stands holding the staff of the missionary. He holds in his other hand an English daisy, his favorite flower, and symbol of his great love for botany. William Carey labored for many years in India working to bring Christ to that country. He was responsible for founding the Baptist Mission Society, the first Foreign Mission Board of modern Protestantism. The figure to the right depicts Carey as a shoemaker, the profession he was following when he first awakened to his search for Christ. The other shows the burning of his printing house in India, dramatizing the ordeals and trials he bore in his missionary endeavor.
