AROUND THE WORLD WITH DR. MOTT
One of the most interesting reports of the entire convention was that made by Dr. Mott, president of the organization, on his recent trip around the world. He said: "At Cairo we secured the largest theater in Egypt, and every afternoon it was full to overflowing. Twenty-five hundred people were in the hall, and hundreds outside. The last afternoon that it was possible for us to use the hall came, and I was not through. I told all who really wished to believe in the deity of Christ, if it were possible to do so with intellectual honesty, to meet me in another hall about half a mile away. When I reached the other hall, I found it crowded with over six hundred students who came in answer to my call." Similar experiences in other large cities of heathen countries were related. A collection to help carry forward the mission work was taken up following this report, and over $113,000 was received. Announcement was also made of a gift of $1,000,000 to missions, offered by a millionaire of Kansas City named Long.
