The Gospel in Siam

So far as we know, we have no representative of the third angel’s message in Siam. Other missionaries are at work there, and doing well. There is a press in operation at Bangkok, under the direction of the Presbyterian Mission Board, where Siamese Bibles are printed. As early as 1819 a little catechism was printed in Burma, translated by Mrs. Ann Hasseltine Judson, who became interested in some Siamese captives brought to Burma, as prisoners of war. There Buddhism holds sway, as that is the state religion of Siam. The Siamese are said to be a reading people, and inasmuch as the Bible is being circulated in their own language, the time is ripe for the introduction of the third angel’s message into this heathen stronghold. To this nation must the gospel of the kingdom be carried. May God raise up men and means to hasten its glorious proclamation to all men.
