Marathi Literature in India

By Editor

We have received from Elder G. W. Pettit, superintendent of the Bombay Presidency Mission, in India, copies of our first literature in the Marathi language. These tracts are entitled “We Would See Jesus,” “Heralds of His Coming,” “The New Testament Sabbath,” and “Fundamental Principles of Seventh-day Adventists.” Brother Pettit is editor of a quarterly which bears the name, in Marathi, Signs of the Times. Three thousand copies of the first number were printed. We believe these messengers of truth will prove of great help to our workers in this mission field of more than thirty million inhabitants. The extent to which the Lord is using literature in the spread of the message in heathen lands has exceeded our most sanguine expectations. Our papers and tracts in the languages of the people have oftentimes preceded the work of the living messenger, and prepared the way for him.
