~ cIETv.--Extract of letter to Rev, s. II
Gone, from Rev. A. Judson, dated Maui
mein, Feb. 4, 1886, in answer to inquire:
on the subject of Bible translation anC
distribution in Asia.
z- Rev. AND DEAR SIR,-The BurmGr
Bible, in 4 vols: 8yo., containing nearly
~24,O0 pages, was completed on the 29th
Of December last. We are now printing
a second edition Of the Psalms, and arr
b. preparing 10 print second edition OF TIT
New Testament.
In the falling Language, the New
= Testament Is nearly translated by ma
tive scholar, Christian; but it must b
thoroughly examined and revised by on
. of our number, who is studying Talin
for that purpose, before we shall ventur
topublish It.
In the Karen language, the New-Tes
lament Is in course of translation at Ia
voy, and some part Of it will probably b
printed as soon as we can obtain com
plcte font Of Karen types, which we ar
expecting within three or four months

the key to the whole country; so that W
are obliged to proceed prudently. Or,
we had a printing establishment in Ii
country, the importation Of paper, an
= even the operation Of the press itself, coul
be prohibited with the same ease.
= But we must all go forward, preachin
the gospel, and distributing Bibles an
tracts in every possible way and in ever
, Language under heaven. If one door
