Soo Thah: A Tale of the Making of the Karen Nation By Alonzo Bunker. This is a true story. While its narration is not always chronological, yet all the incidents herein told are facts which occurred in the experience of the writer, or within his knowledge. All the characters are true to name and life, except Soo Thah, whose real name was Soo Yah. This change has been made in order that certain incidents in the story might be added to his life to complete a true picture. The aim of the story is to give a photographic view of the daily life of the heathen Hillmen of Burma. The reading of this book has brought it all up with vividness, tenderness and power. Dr. Bunker has used a graphic pen. He has caught the luxuriance of the, forests, the grandeur of the mountains, and the soft tints of the oriental sunsets, and made his disciple "live, move and have his being" in a world of reality and charm. The lands of heathendom are far from being the dismal places which many conceive them to be.
