OLD CHURCH PASUMALAI -Madurai
Establishment in Pasumalai.
The plain on which Madura stands is dotted with rocky hills that rise up like blocks on a floor. One such is Pasu- malai, two miles southwest of the city. The name means Cow Mountain, and is connected with a legend of the Jains. The hill is of quartz rock and furnishes an excellent grave for mending the streets of the town. At the foot of the southern slope the Mission obtained about 14 acres in 1844. Of this site Cherry wrote to Treasurer Hill of Boston the 1st March 1845:
