The situation is critical and the tcs-

comes from every part Of the mis-

Philippine Islands, China, India
Burma, Ceylon. the New HeDrides,
Sumatra, Arabia, Baluchistan and
even Peru, testimony has come that
in the estimation Of leading mis-

most urgent missionary world prob

MOhammedan advance in Africa and
this testimony concerns the unoccu-

The Arabic Language.

1t is said that the Arabic Ian
guagc will yet be the vehicle for
carrying the gospel in Africa and
Asia among the mohammedans. The
Arabs themselves say:
Wisdom hath alighted upon
three things-the brain Of the
Franks, the hand Of the Chinese and
tile tongue of the Arabs"
arabia is undoubtedly important
because of its speech. Samuel N.
Zwcmer says: Arabic literature is
found throughout the whole Moham-
medan world, and the Arabic Ian
guage is growing in Influence and
power, and is one Of the great liv-
ing languages Of the world. The
Arabic Moran Is a textbook in the
day schools of Turkey, Afghanistan,
Java, Sumatra, New Guinea and
Southern Russia. Arabic is the
spoken language not only Of the
Arabs of Arabia proper, but forces
the linguistic boundary Of that pen
insula three hundred miles north OF
Bagdad to Diarbekr and Mardin, and
is used all over Syria and Palestine,
and the whole of Northern Africa.
