IN BURMA, with a population of ten and one-half million, there are about three hundred believers in present truth. One means of reaching the people with the truth is a quarterly paper issued in Burmese, called Kin Saoung. One man is nearly seventy years of age received one of these papers. He read and reread it, and wanted more copies. He was given a tract on the nearness of the end, and has now read it so many times that he has almost committed it to memory. Since learning the Bible teaching on the Sabbath question and the second coming of Christ, he is telling these truths to his friends. He is now asking for baptism.
