Fifty Years of Missionary Labor and Translation Milestones
A veteran speaker recounts editing a Calcutta Bible in 1840, the May 1843 print date, and the challenges of Hebrew Hindustani work. He honors departed missionaries Peter Wright, David Johns, Kidd, Morrison, and Dyer, notes Roman Catholic interference, praises Schurman’s Hindustani Bible effort, and salutes native teachers while reflecting on funds, unity, and the society’s fifty years of global outreach.
