Celebrate With Us I

The Arabian Mission has been at work tor twenty-five years.
The missionaries will meet (D. V.) in Busrah this November and
celebrate their anniversary.
Churches and individuals have supported the Mission's work dur­
ing a quarter of a century. !
The Mission’s friends have as much reason as the missionaries
!
themselves to celebrate the anniversary.
There is reason to celebrate. Missions to Moslems have been
I
established. Arabia is being occupied. The Bible is being widely i
distributed. Christ is being lifted up. The Mission has increased 1

by faithful sowing. Its future promises joyful reaping. Its present
requires faith and consecration.
The General Synod has appointed the first Sunday in November U ::
as Foreign Missions Day. ! IS

Tell them about the twenty-five years ot the Arabian Mission. ! )
Especially fitting will this theme be for those pastors who have
never given an address on Arabia to their congregations, and those t j

of presenting one of the church’s mission fields each year.
The present number provides material for such an address.
Rev. T. H. Mackenzie, D.D., Chairman of the Executive Com­ t
mittee of the Board of Foreign Missions, has kindly consented to t :1
indicate in advance how he would treat the material.
A similar outline will present what our people should know about
Arabia and their Mission.
Pastors who have made other arrangements for their missionary
sermons in November should pass the Quarterly on to the Sunday-
school superintendent or the president of the Young People’s or
other society for their use that day, or preserve the number tor ! ■
use later.
