Christian Missions in Western Asia

WITHIN the boundaries of five Moslem lands,—Turkey, Palestine, Syria, Persia, Arabia,—there are over six hundred Protestant missionaries engaged in educational, medical, and evangelistic work. The Bible has been translated into all the languages of Western Asia, and a large Christian literature prepared for its polyglot people. At the Beirut Press alone sixty million pages of Christian books were printed in a single year; and in one month orders were on file for one hundred thousand copies of the Arabic Scriptures, including eighteen cases of Bibles sent to Shanghai for the Moslems of China.—Selected.
