Progress of the Hindustani Work

Of the three hundred million in India, over eighty million speak the Hindustani language. Something is being done to get the truth before these people. From Sept. 1, 1905, to Dec. 31, 1907, 22,500 Hindi and Urdu booklets were sold or given away, also many smaller tracts; thirteen different native men came directly under the careful training of our laborers, with a view of preparing themselves to give the message to others; seven of these natives are now actively engaged in selling Hindi and Urdu literature; while during the time mentioned, $2,413.64 was raised by donations for the Hindustani work, and all except about $400 was expended in the support of laborers or in circulating the printed truth among these people. Thus a good beginning has been made, and God is greatly blessing both the work and workers.
