containing the authors account OF his
travels into Thibet, which led to the
securing of this manuscript pertaining
to Issa or Christ, which was found in
Buddhist monastery, and his subsequent
comments thereon exceed The Unknown
Life in length. There is much
greater difference in the two trnnela-
tions than exists between the King
James and the revised version of the
New Testament, with the plausabilitv

Mentally edition. This volume will be
widely sought, and the churches that
preach Christ will be looked to for estab-
fishing the correctness of it. At least,
Rand, Mentally & Co. should receive
due credit for pushing this publication
and placing a cheaper edition in the
hands Of the reading public.
