The Work in Burma

IN the January number of the Eastern Tidings, a workers' paper published by our people in Calcutta, India, we find the following concerning the work in Burma:—
“We are glad to report an eager desire on the part of our Burmese brethren and sisters to spread the truth among their people. At a meeting held at the house of one of our Burmese sisters, it was decided to open a fund for the support of a Burmese preacher; and all present signified their willingness to contribute for this purpose. This action on the part of our Burmese brethren will enable us to be in a good position to meet the salary of a preacher when the time arrives for his entertainment.
“We hope soon to have our first Burmese tract issued. It is entitled, ‘The Commandments of God, Written not in Tables of Stone, but in Fleshly Tables of the Heart.’”
It is joyful news to hear of the entrance of the truth into the land where Dr. Judson so long ago carried the light of the gospel; and the eagerness of these people to spread the truth should awaken a desire in the home land to send them a preacher soon. But the laborers are few.
