India

By Luther J. Burgess

ALMORA.—This is a pleasant and healthful station well up in the Himalaya Mountains. As the weather has been quite cool, we have been able to continue our work and study during the hottest part of the year.
During the past week we finished the last of ten articles upon subjects of present truth to be printed in Hindi, in the form of a twenty-four-page booklet. The matter has been sent to Brother Little, at Karmatar, where printing in the native languages is being started, thus furnishing employment for the students at our school and orphanage.
The Lord has especially helped us in preparing this booklet. At least twelve native men who have a knowledge of the Hindi language have helped in the translation; thus while receiving the truth, they have helped in preparing it for others. These men have not as yet taken their stand for the truth, but we trust that the leaven will work until the whole is leavened.
This little booklet, the “Sanatan Susamachar,” will be neatly printed and illustrated, and we trust it will sell readily among Hindus, Mohammedans, and native Christians alike. The price will be one anna, or two cents, and we hope that by its sale the cost will be returned, and thus the way be opened to print another, for we hope that this small beginning in the publishing work among eighty millions of this language, may quickly grow until these people may see the light shining from the printed page.
The language used in this booklet is simple and easy, and such as the common people understand, and will doubtless be a help to those who come to take up work among the Hindus.
We would ask you to remember this matter at least once at your hour of family worship, that the Lord will accompany this effort with his Spirit and make it fruitful.
We are both well and of good courage. We are glad to read the good reports in the REVIEW from the other parts of the field. LUTHER J. BURGESS.
