Luxor, Egypt

By A. A. Elshaheed

A. A. ELSHAHEED
I OWNED a plot of ground in a very bad location here in Luxor. This I sold for a good price, and by adding to the sale price $360, I bought a house, with fruit-trees and a garden, in another part of the city.
I had a great burden for that poor quarter of the town in which there were neither religious meetings nor a school. My daughters were graduated in the American Mission school, and the youngest volunteered to teach. She opened the school in January, 1911. The last of April the school had an enrolment of sixty, with an attendance of fifty. At present there are attending the school twelve Moslems, some Copts, and a number of Protestants. We have seventy enrolled. There is a good attendance at the meetings, also the Sabbath-school held on Sunday afternoon.
Success is sure, because the work is God's. I have had many hard experiences in the past, but God was with me, and delivered me. Pray for the cause in Egypt.
