standing its sacred associations, has
been sadly neglected by the mod
ern missionary churches Organized
missionary work was begun by Ion
Keith Falconer, of the Free Church of
Scotland, in 1885 The American mis-
sion was organized five years later.
Its headquarters are at Busrah, and it
has three ordained missionaries, with
three native helpers. Altogether,

are only seven missionaries and four
native helpers. These people are
