{; .. A. CALL FOR. .THE'soBtBLE=
High Officials of China Putting
Into .stRctter Literary Form"

:
New York. May 20:-Rev. John R. Hykes,
D. D., agent of the American Bible Society in
Shanghai, China has submitted a report to
the society He says the question of a re-
currence Of the recent troubles in China de-
ponds on whether the governmnt of the en-
pira wants another outbreak. If it does, the
uprising will take place. AS a result Of an
edict directing that. sons of Manchus 7and
Mongols shall be chosen to go abroad and
study, there has been unheard of demand
for foreign books, scriptures included. One
government college has applied for grant
for fifty Bibles for the use of its. students,
and old scholars are scattered over-the world
in the government service in the capacity OF
translators, Interpreters and teachers of Eng
lish. E...--,->~ ..'-T - = =. =
lone Of the signs of the times, says DR..
Hykes, 'is remarkable movement on the
part Of some of the highest officials in the
land to make retransation or revision Of the
Bible with the view of putting it into what
they consider more worthy literary form;
and this work is now in progress with i'm
perial sanction. "a u
I'VE issued more mandarin Bibles in the
| last three months of this year., said DR.,

ample stock for eight years decade ago"
