The Work in India

In a letter to Brother E. L. Richmond, of this office, Elder S. A. Wellman, of India, says of the work there:—
“With the temperature ranging around 110 degrees, it is rather trying to keep the pace that the work this year is demanding; but we are gradually getting things up to the mark, and have been fortunate enough to nearly double our output for the last three months. And there is sufficient in sight to keep us busy till well into the fall.
“Among the items planned for the office here in the north is a number of tracts in the various languages, includingBengali, Hindi, Urdu, Marathi, Gurmukhi, and Karen, if we can make the arrangements for the preparation of the litho transfers in the latter language. We are unable to get the type work done in Burma, owing to the hostility of one of the missions, which controls all the type; but by the use of the litho process there is no reason why we shall not be able to supply the need, and eventually to develop a literature for the Karen people in common with our other language areas.
“Our special numbers of the Watchman are having a good circulation. We are now printing eight thousand of each issue, and I hope that this will increase.
“We are trying to do more and more of our printing in both English and the vernaculars, here in India, as it gives us the advantage of the local address always, and this counts in turning the people toward our organized work in this country.
“With interest we have read of the circulation of ‘The World’s Crisis’ and similar volumes in America. The present time is opportune for the presentation of the third angel’s message; and we believe that as a denomination we shall more and more turn to the popular, low-priced presentation of the truths of this message as given in these volumes. We trust that the summer influx of student canvassers may be but one more means in the hands of God of arousing the interest and spreading the message.”
