6 THE NINETY-EIGHTH REPORT OF THE CALCUTTA CHRISTIAN TRACT AND BOOK SOCIETY, BEING THAT FOR THE YEAR END- ING 30TH SEPTEMBER, COMMITTEE'S REPORT The position described in our last Report arising from the sale of the Tract Society's property at 23; Chowringhee Road to the British and Foreign Bible Society continued practically unchanged during the greater part of last year. From informa.tion recently received from London, however; it seems likely that the legal difficulties which have hitherto stood in the way of the actual conveyance of.the property to the Bible Society will soon be removed and for this we are grateful. Meanwhile the interest on the money which is at present held in trust for the Calcutta Christian Tract and Book Society by the Incorporated British and Foreign Bible Society Association. and which is the amount paid by th~ British and Foreign Bible Society for the Calcutta Christian Tract and Book Society's share of the Calcutta property has enabled the Tract Society not only to meet its obligations to the Baptist Mission Press as its selling Agency but also to issue during the year a considerable number of useful publications. Chief perhaps amongst the books published during the year has been an improved edition of "Daily Light," the cost of which has been largely horne by a grant from the R.T.S. London. A revised and attractive edition of the" Holy War" has also been published. The translation has been thoroughly revised by the Rev. S. K. Mondol of the Methodist Episcopal Church to whom our best thanks are due. This revision has also been made possible by a grant from the Home Committee of the Religious Tract Society. Some new books in Bengali have been issued during the year. Amongst the last of these is "The Story of J"esus" by Miss C. Williams, for which, published as it is at 1 pice, we anticipate a ready sale. Several reprints of popular books in Bengali have also passed through the Press. Amongst these are "Just Balances," (a translation of a well-known Hindi book, Dharm Tula), Khush Kechcha and Tattwa Sar-this last being a short account of the Life of Christ in verse which has had a most remarkable sale.
7 COMMITTEE'S REPORT. In the Santali language during the year more work than usual h as been undertaken. We have just published" 24 Bible Stories "-a translation of a book originally prepared in Urdu for use in Mass Movement areas in the United Provinces and since then translated into several Indian languages. Two other important books in Santali are still in the Press, viz., an Old Testament History-a helpful book of which a reprint was urgently required and also a revision of the Santali Pilgrim's Progress, for which the Religious Tract Society has not on~y given a generous grant but for which they have sent us 1~000 each of 8 Copping Pictures for illustrations. The Rev. T. Lenman of the Church Missionary Society is seeing this revision through the Press. We ha. ve also continued the publication of special literature for Mos]em readers under the supervision of the Rev. L. Bevan Jones B.A., Convener of the Sub-Committee of the Christian Council of Bengal and Assam for work among Moslems. One of these books Khush Khabar (Glad Tidings) which has been for some time out of print is now again in the Press. Another volume in the Series of Commentaries by the Rev. J. M. B. Duncan B.D. viz., the volume on I and II Timothy has just been issued. In order to make available these very useful Commentaries to a wider circle of readers it has been decided to offer, from January to June 1929, Commentaries to the value of Rs. 10 for the small sum of Rs.2. Mention should also be made of a valuable gift received during the past year from the R.T.S. London! at the suggestion of the Rev. J. M. B. Duncan, of 5,000 each of 16 Copping Pictures. These pictures 80,000 in all were sent out with blank pages for letter-press in Bengali. A certain number have been made into booklets of 16 pictures each and are being sold at 2 annas a booklet. We are greatly indebted both to the R.T.S. London and to Mr. Duncan for this beautiful gift.
8 COMMITTEE'S REPORT. It will be remembered that during 1927 a Prize Competition in original Bengali literature was arranged for and duly advertised. In connection with this scheme prizes aggregating Rs. 1,000 were offered for original compositions on various flu bjects. About 30 MSS. of different sizes, both on Theological and general subjects, have been sent in. These MSS. are still under examination an& it will be Slome time yet before any results can be announced.
