in converting the natives, on ac-
count of the difficulty in explaining

the ignorant people will fully under

beautiful passages in the bible are
destroyed by translation. He at
tempted once to have the hymn,
"Rock of Ages, cleft for me,

translated into the native dialect so
that the natives might appreciate its
beauty. The work was done by a
young HindOo Bible student. The
