BANKOK, Siam. Aug. IA, 1886.


My Dear Brother,-Your very well
come letter was received at Penang,
whittier | had repaired for the purpose Of
preparing Siamese type. Not being able
10 answer all your inquiries, | have writ
ten to Messrs Beighton Of Penang, Hughs
OF Malacca, Robinson Of Calcutta, Ritz
gers of RHO, and Ward of Padang, and
should replies be received, shall forward
them.
| have had the Gospel of Matthew in
Siamese published at Singapore, and it
has long been exhausted. Though | sup
pose it to be tolerably carrect and iLtelIi-
gible, l am satisfied it needs much revis-
ion, before second edition, which de-
sign soon to execute. A considerable
portion of Acts has also been translated.
The work has experienced much inter-
ruption from my frequent and protracted
absence, for the sake Of printing and types.
l hope now, if God in mercy spares me,
to prosecute it with vigor. Acts. and a
new edition of Matthew, hope may be
ready for the press ere the close of the
year.
In regard to Or. MorrlsOns version OF
the sacred Scriptures into Chinese, con-
siderable complaints have been made, by
those best informed on the subject, of its
being too literal to be Ineligible. BY
the English missionaries in the Straits
generally, it is feared, that the new re-
vision by Gutzlaf, Medhurst, Bridgman,
&C. may be too elegant; it is, however,
on all hands, allowed to be more idiomat-
ic. Mr.. Dyer of MaIacca, has spent
much time, during four years past, in re-
vising Matthew. In his jud gment and
accuracy great confidence may be repos-
ed. Mr.. Dyer's types will unquestionably
supply a great desideratum; they are
excellent. A tont will soon be received
here and put in operation. Immense
numbers of tracts and portions Of the
Scriptures, have already been circulated
here, and more will be required. The
amount of funds which we shall require
for the publication of the sacred Scrip
lures during the coming year, we cannot
we'll estimate as all our operations will
be new; they must however be large.
Most sincerely yours,
JOHN TAYLoA JONES.

Rev and Dear Sir,-The Burman Bi.
bic in 4 vols. 8vo. containing nearly 24OO
pages, was completed on the 29th Of De-
cember last We are now printing a
second edition of the Psalms, and are
preparing to print second edition Of the
New Testament In the falling Ian
guagc. the New-Testament is nearly
translated by native scholar, Christian;
but it must be thoroughly examined and
revised bv one of our number, who is
studying falling for that purpose, before
we shall venture to publish it. In the
Karen language, the New-Testament is
in course of translation at Tavoy, and
some part of it will probably be printed as
soon as we can obtain complete font of
Karen types, which we are expecting
within three or four months.
AS to introducing Chinese Scriptures
into the southwestern part of the empire,
| have no doubt it can be done by two
routes, from Ava and from Sadiya. But
the missionaries at those stations will
doubtless be collecting information on that
very important point.
1t is impossible to say how many BIZ
bles could be judiciousIy distributed in
Burmah If the government was toler-
ant, should say tens Of thousands,
whether they could or would be read i'm
mediateI Y or not But one word from the
Viceroy Of Rangoon would close that port
against our Bibles and tracts, and that
port is the key % the whole country: so
that we are obliged to proceed prudently !;
or, if we had a printing establishment in
the country, the importation of paper, and
even the operation of the press itself, could
be prohibited with the same case.
But we must all 60 forward, preaching
the gospel, and distributing Bibles and
tracts in every possible way, and in every
language under heaven. If one door is
shut up, We must push at another. VIC

Dear Brother,-I am at length able tc
answer your inquiries respecting oul
Mission Press, &c.
The building stands in the mission
compound, in the heart Of the city Of
Maulmein, built Of brick and mortar in
the best manner, two stories high, in the
form Of an l., Sc feet wide, and 78 feet
long each way-that is, in fact, l56 long
The lower floor is brick covered with
plaster, and is divided into two large, and
four small rooms One oflhe large rooms
is occupied by the casc-work, and the 9TH
er by the presses. The smaller ones are
for counting room, storage Of paper, ma
chine-shop, &c. The upper Story is in
two large rooms, one for the binders, the
other for prints, books, and tracts.
There are four hand presses, Zone of
which stands in the compositors' room,
and is used for nothing but proofs,) and a
Tufts power press, equal 10 two common
ones, all Of the best workmanship, and in
perfect order. There are IS cases of
type-l2 fonts Of English, seldom used,
one of Burman, very large, setting up
about IS 8vo. pages, one Of Karen, and
one OF Peguan. OF these last three there
are complete sets OF punches and matrices
OF the best kind, So that additional type
may he cast in the Office at pleasure
For this there is every requisite imple-
ment, as we'll as brass roIIer-moulds and
other conveniences found in the best
Offices
The bindery is complete, and sufficient
Iy extensive TO prepare all the produc-
tons Of the printing office. There are in
1t two standing presses, and in the press
room below, a press for wetted paper.
There are IS persons regularly en-
PIoycd in the office. the average rate of
whose wages is about ten rupees per
month. All the work, in every depart
ment, is done by natives, but under a
much more minute and constant super
vision by the missionary printer than
would be necessary in America.
The preparation Of the matrices for
native types has been an oppressive ex-
pense, not only from the great price of all
work at Calcutta, but because three or
four times as many characters are requir-
ed as are wanted in English
The following works in the Burman
language are translated and printed-new

At REMEMBER THY VOICE.

I remember thy voice--when brightly
The sunbeams around me lie,
When the glorious day hath gladdend
The face Of the laughing sky.
When the midnight winds are signing
With faint and wailing sound,
And the city with its murmur
Lies dark and silent round.
When the lamps are dimly twinkhng
In their cold and fair array,
And toll, and care, and anguish,
Lie hush'd until the day,
remember thy voice.
remember thy voice-when harshly
Some other hath learn'd to chide,
And cold words are vainly uttered,
While my thoughts are wandering wide.
And, o when the tones are gentle,
From kindly heart and eye,
dream of thy words offondness,
And weep for the days gone by.
In the glittering days ofsplendor,
In the midst ofthe hsartless crowd,
Amid shouts, and music, and laughter,
Amid murmurs confused and loud,
remember thy voice.
remember thy voice when sadly
l sit in the evenings alone,
Or when lips beloved have spoken
With something of thy tone.
When the rich warm breath of summer
Hath rippled the silent wave,
And the scent of some lone wild flower
Brings dreams of thine early grave.
In the dark and dreary winter,
When the snow shower falleth light,
And they talk of the year departed
Round the home fire blazing bright,
remember thy voice.
remember thy voice--the future
May come with its smiles and tears,
And the past with its gloomy sorrow
May be hidden by sunny years.
And the power Of griefmay waken,
As it doth-in the hearts of men,
And the thoughts that are now SO bitter,
May come family to me then.
0 then will thy deep tones vanish!
Will that sound from my soul depart.
l remember thy voice-the echo
Is wringing my inmost heart.
