INTRODUCTION

THERE ARE MANY HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE IN THE UNITED STATES WHOSE NATIVE LANGUAGE IS NOT THE ENGLISH, AND WHO, IF WARNED OF THE THINGS THAT ARE SOON COMING UPON THE WORLD, MUST BE WARNED IN THEIR OWN LANGUAGE.

THE CONSIDERATION OF THIS QUESTION WAS TO BE A PROMINENT FEATURE OF THE COUNCIL CALLED AT COLLEGE VIEW, SEPTEMBER 6 TO 8, 1905.
