A New Book in Manganja

WRITING from England, Brother Joel C. Rogers says the manuscript for a new book in the Manganja language is about ready. He fortunately secured the assistance of Dr. Hetherwick, of the Blantyre Mission, who is also on furlough, to go over the manuscript, making any grammatical corrections necessary. Dr. Hetherwick is considered authority on the Central African dialects, which will insure the best translation possible for the book Brother Rogers is bringing out for the people in East Central Africa. He is also getting out Bible lessons for daily use by the native teachers, in the schools of his mission. Our missionaries on furlough, by the way, are usually very busy people. The great need of the “regions beyond” inspires in them a “mind to work;” and work they do, even though on a leave of absence from their fields, seeking recuperation.
