Tamil Tracts for South India

A LETTER from Brother J. S. James, of Cleveland Town, Bangalore, India, has just been received, in which he encloses a tract in the Tamil language. This is entitled “Endu Nali Owevoonalagu Awsurickyrear? Ututkoo Karunmane?” and is a translation of the tract “Which Day Do You Keep? and Why?” This tract is the first number of a series which Brother James is preparing upon this message in the tongue of the Tamils of South India. That people number sixteen million, and these publications are the beginning of what is to be, we believe, a great work in their behalf. Brother James says, “I have the second tract on the coming of the Lord ready for the press, and it will be printed as soon as means can be secured to pay for the work. The third on ‘The New Testament Sabbath’ will soon be ready. God is working in our behalf in southern India, and we are praying for means and help to carry forward the work.” To those who love the message the appearance of these messengers of truth in the peculiar script and hieroglyphics of other languages is a welcome sight—an indication that “this gospel of the kingdom” is going to all the nations, and that soon our Lord will come.
