non-commercial organizations: the British

There are societies in France, Germany.

commercial houses in any part of the world
limit their output to three or four languages

these are books which would have no appeal
in the countries where the missionaries go.
Such elegant books. said an officer of the So

We can do this because the missionaries re-

since they have no written characters of
their own they willingly accept ours. IL
makes no difference how queer and outland-

in Roman characters we will print their
