A GROUP of Arabs listening to a story-teller, as seen in the picture, is a common sight in Algeria, where the art of story-telling is recognized as a profession.
We are here, a few of us, trying to tell these people the greatest story of all,—the story of a Saviour's love. Difficulties abound in Algeria. The evangelization of the Mohammedans of North Africa is certainly a problem. They are extremely fanatical and superstitious, and are fatalists.
The very word Mussulman, translated, means a man resigned to the will of Allah. They consider that every step of their lives is regulated by fate. But the gospel message of Christ's soon coming is to be preached to every nation, tribe, and people. This includes the Arab, and we are endeavoring to sow the seed in faith, and in hope of the coming harvest.
