The Rev. A. Bunker who recently re-
turned to this country from missionary
work in Burmah, gave, in Providence,
few days ago, an address on the condition,
possibilities and prospects of the Baptist
Mission in that country There are four
principle races, he said, in Burmah, escI,
distinct from the other-the Talaings, the
karens, the Burmans and the Shsns-all OF
whom are Of the Tuscanan race ~ dstn-
guished from the Aryan. Baptist missions
are among them all, but the Karen mission
is thus far the most successful, while the
thurman gives larger promises, but as yet
small results. The Burmans, who are the
ruling race, are light-heartcd, careless,
shrewd, untrustworthy and grossly mineral.
In all these respects the Karens, who are
the subject race, are superior. They arc
not worshippers Of images, and this is one
reason why SO much success has been
achieved among them while another reason
is that they anticipate through Christianity
q national delivcrance and elevation.
