Romanized Literature in China

One of the most important aids to missionary progress, if it can be carried out, is the attempt now being made by the missionaries of China to introduce the Roman alphabet as a substitute for the cumbersome aggregation of complicated signs which is used at present. Some progress has been made. The American Presbyterian Press at Shanghai has just completed the Ming-po Romanized Bible, which is the first complete Bible with references ever published in China. They propose to issue during the year, by way of experiment, a monthly paper, a hymn and tune book, and some parts of the New Testament in Roman type.
