^Samuel M. Zwemer, Field Reports of the Arabian Mission
no, 1. January - April 1892 (.New York, 1892), p.3. The'Arabian
Mission published' quarterly a summary of "Missionary News and
Letters" for "Private Circulation among the Friends of the
Arabian.Mission." These quarterly reports were published by
P the Reformed Church in America in New York. From 1889 to 1902
(nos.1-40) they appeared under the title of "Field Reports
from the Arabian Mission," from 1902 to 1949 (nos. 41-215)
under the title of "Neglected Arabia," and from 1949 to 1962
(nos. 216-250) under the title of "Arabia Calling." Presumably
several hundred copies we re mailed out. There is a complete
file of this publication in the office of the Board for World
Mission, RCA, 475 Riverside Drive, New York, N.Y. and another
; in the Archives of the RCA in the Gardner A. Sage Library of
the New Brunswick Theological Seminary, New#Brunswick, N.J.
Hereafter, these letters and reports will be referred to
simply as, for instance, Neglected Arabia, no. 215, Winter,
1949.
