It was used by Mr. Marshall with excellent results in connection with one of his Pastors' Classes in Tharrawaddy, and now that it is printed is available for wider usefulness. It is really an epitome of Christian Theology, and in a simple and attractive style, discusses, in its twenty-four brief chapters, the great doctrines of the Bible, beginning with 'The Divine Plan' and ending with 'The Second Coming of Christ.' It should be in the hands of every Karen pastor, and by them introduced to the more intelligent members of our Karen churches."
