XX NORTH AMERICAN LINGUISTICS. 
Byington {Rev. Cyrus) — continued, 
can Board of Commissiouers for Foreign Missions. In translating they were aided 
by tlie most skillful interpreters they could find among the educated Choetaws. 
The missionaries who have devoted themselves to tbe labor of preparing books in 
the Choctaw language, more than any of their associates, are Rev. Alfred Wright, 
Loring S. Williams, and Cyrus Byington. Mr. Williams is not now a member of 
the mission. Several hymns in the hymn-book were composed by native Choetaws, 
as well as by the mixed blooded whites."
