At the age of twenty-four, Aeneas Williams attended the 1910 World Missionary Conference hosted at the Assembly Hall in Edinburgh from 14 to 23 June.
The conference is a marker for the beginning of the modern Protestant Christian ecumenical movement.
The Church of Scotland missionary John Anderson Graham appeared at the conference both as a guest speaker and as a member of the audience.
He was also there to encourage donations to aid his mission St Andrew's Colonial Home in Kalimpong, West Bengal.
The Protestant Christian Missionary community slogan drove the conference's spirit: 'The Evangelization of the World in this Generation.'
Whether Aeneas attended one meeting, or several is undocumented, but during the event he got his calling to become a missionary.
Later that same year, Aeneas arrived in India and was stationed in Kalimpong at St Andrew's Colonial Home (later renamed Dr. Graham's Homes) – an orphanage/school – where he was the assistant schoolmaster and taught Geography and Science.
As the school expanded, Williams took on the role of Bursar.
His official residence was Wolseley House in the grounds of the school.
The house was named after  Sir Capel Charles Wolseley, 9th Baronet, who was the secretary of the fund-raising delegation London Committee – a committee formed to solicit funds for Indian missions.
The committee funded the building of  St. George's Homes in Pulney Hills, Kodaikanal, founded by Rev. John Breeden in 1914, which was based upon St Andrew’s Colonial Homes, hence the connection.
Breeden and Wolseley visited St. Andrew’s Colonial Homes to draw up plans for St. George’s Homes.

Aeneas quickly settled into his life at St. Andrew's as a missionary and took on several other roles, including financial adviser to Dr. John Anderson Graham, and as a fundraiser for the children's home.
Kalimpong was the centre of missionary activity in the region, with Darjeeling steadfastly remaining the political powerhouse.
In Darjeeling, missionaries played a supporting role to the official political figures and aristocracy that governed the region.
In Kalimpong that reversed, missionaries reigned supreme.

On 2 December 1914, Aeneas and Clara Anne Rendall were married at Macfarlane Memorial Church in Kalimpong by Rev. Evan Mackenzie.
Dr. John Anderson Graham officiated as best man and a witness at the ceremony.
Clara (a true Orcadian) was born on 24 July 1887 in Kirkwall on the Orkney Islands and was also a Church of Scotland missionary and a teacher at St. Andrew's Colonial school.

Aeneas was a keen sportsman and footballer and played outside forward (left-wing) in the Grahams' home football team.
On 7 October 1916, Clara gave birth to twins, Alfred Francon and Beatrice Clara.
Rev. John Anderson Graham baptized Alfred and Beatrice in Kalimpong on 19 November 1916.
Aeneas and his growing family remained at St Andrew's Colonial Home until 1924.

Williams’ first book, A Pronouncement of the Public Conscience, was published in 1921.
At the beginning of January 1921, Aeneas, his wife, and their two young offspring (aged 4) sailed from Calcutta on board the (Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company Line) SS Soudan en route to the UK.
The family arrived in the Port of London on 18 January from where they travelled up to Scotland.
It was the first time the two young children Alfred and Beatrice, had visited Britain.
During the trip, Aeneas undertook a short fundraising tour in aid of St Andrew's Colonial Home in Kalimpong, during which he gave lantern shows with spoken commentary.
His shows were performed on variety bills and in Church Halls.
The photographic slides were projected upon a large screen and depicted life at St Andrew's Colonial Home, views of the Eastern Himalayas, and his experience as a missionary in India.
One of Williams’ presentations was given at a variety concert at Elie in Fife held on 23 September at which Major-General Sir George Kenneth Scott-Moncrieff introduced the acts.
Williams shared the bill with various vocal and instrumental performers, as well as a young dancer.
