Gilbert Island Version Of The Scriptures [1]

This version is designed for the people of Gilbert islands, Micronesia. In 1869 the first parts of this version, which was prepared by the Reverend Hiram Bingham, of Honolulu, were published by the American Bible Society. The version of the entire New Test. was published in 1872, which proved to be a great boon to that benighted people, for soon a new edition was needed, which was published after a careful revision by the original translator in 1878. (B.P.)
