CONCLUSION
This review of our stations presents many encouraging features. In
i^tie of bigotry and unreasoning antagonism, one notes something of
progress in each district. Muscat announces that the door into the k
oicrior is open." Bahrain reports many outward signs of changes which
*xc destined to influence the life and thought of the community in course I*
ef time and undermine the wall of prejudice with which the Arab
unrounds himself. Kuwait presents strong evidences of genuine friend-
ibip and appreciation of the work done there. Basrah tells us that the
Buys’ school has many more applicants than it can receive. Most grati­
fying of all, Amarah speaks of definite inquirers who are attracted bv
&e message itself. Surely we have grounds for hoping that the per­
cent witnessing of many years is destined to bear fruit in the near
liturc. We have much cause for thanksgiving and rejoicing in the
ttfortl of the past year and God grant that each succeeding year register
per greater progress in the establishment of His Kingdom in Arabia.
