Our Moslem Neighbor

At a missions conference dealing with work among Mohammedan people, Dr. Watson, of Turkey, said:—

“The Turk is a good neighbor. I do not see this any more marked in our own land. I recall now men in Constantinople and other Turkish towns, from whom in every instance after the first acquaintance was formed, little acts of courtesy and confidence were of unfailing recurrence. The Oriental knows how to love, and he knows how to appreciate love, and there, just there, is found the solution of our great problem. We can solve it in the acceptance of our Lord’s own method of teaching and mode of life; can illustrate that before the eyes of all our Mohammedan brothers and sisters, illiterate or literate, official or out of office. They will all respond to sincere love and sympathy. Of that you may be sure; and they will not respond to anything else.”
