MRS. CANTINE DR. CANTINE

Dr. and Mrs. James Catuiue have been home on furlough since
last May. The former has been twenty-five years, the latter fourteen
years, in the service of the Arabian Mission. The presence in this
country of Dr. Cantine and several other missionaries from Arabia,
the twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding of the Mission, and the
pressing financial needs of the Mission made a special campaign in
its behalf both timely and imperative. Dr. Zwemer, who, with Dr.
Cantine, founded the Mission, was called home from Cairo to assist*
therein.
Besides his service in the Arabian campaign, Dr. Cantine has been
speaking quite widely through ottr churches and representing the
denomination at the Laymen’s Missionary Movement Conventions.
By action of the Board of Foreign Missions taken in anticipation of
Dr. Chamberlain’s extended absence from the country while visitim*
our mission stations. Dr. Cantine was appointed Acting Foreign Secre­
tary °f the Board, which position he has held since" last September.
