Protectants in Ko rea Millions of .Mohammedans Thirteen Centuries After 1'ropn cl's Death. .By SOUTHERN MISSIONARY NEWS BUREAU Ida Clyde Clarke, Editor "1 had conceived a great prejudice asainst missions ;n the South seas; and I had no sooner comet here than that prejudic e w as at fi rat reduc ed and at last annihilated. Those who deblatterate a Kainst missions have only one thing to do to come and see them on tho spot. Missions in the South seas generally are by far the most pleasing result of the presence o." white men, and those in ra nioa are the best 1 have ever seen." - - Kohert Louis Ste- enson. "None of the unoccupied fields In Asia, not even Arabia, can compare in strategic urgency today with the unoccupied regions in Africa, wliere the forces are assembling now for the great conflict between the cross and the crescent and wliere the vast unoccupied fields are the battle ground. "At present Islam is conquering and nothing can stay its onward march or can redeem Africa from its grasp but the carrying of the gospel of Christ into every part of the unoccupied fields." says Dr. Samuel Zwemer. "Paganism crumbles before Islam. The situation is critical and the tes timony, as regards the urgency of this part of the missionary problem, is unanimous in its character and comes from every part of the mis sion field. From Syria, Japan, the Philippine Islands, China. India, Burma, Ceylon, the New Hebrides, Sumatra, Arabia, Baluchistan and even Peru, testimony has come that in the estimation of leading mis sionaries in these countries, tne most urgent missionary world prob lem is to meet and overcome tne Mohammedan advance in Africa and the testimony concerns the unoccu pied fields of Africa." "The battlefield is before our eyes." says Dr. Frank Weston, the Canon of Zanzibar, "the forces or the enemy are drawn up. Will our church send out her leaders to In spire the African Christians?" Dr. Henry Holland, of Quetra, naluchlstan. says: "Afric!. should first receive concentrated attention because if pagan Africa once embra ces Islam, then the work or convert ing it to Christianity will be a thou sand times more difficult and glow; once Africa is under the sway of Is lam, the days of spiritual harvest, such as have talcen place In I'gancla, will 1k over forever. Africa, in my opinion, offers the most urgent call at the present time. "In the dark continent the cres cent is waxing, not waning." says Hev. W. H. T. C.airdner. "It Is al ready half mnon and expects soon to he full. In Africa every Moslem is a natural missionary." I NFINISHKD TASK IN CHINA. Tho unfinished task In China Is still a gigantic one. What plea could be more elocjuent In brevity and pathos than the fact that there are still in China 1 , r( 7 cities wltn out missionaries? When the China Inland Mission was founded in 1i'i4 there -ere on ly 1 r Protestant mission stations in China with about 2, nun converts. Today that mission alone has 20.1 stations, and "f.f substations. Ev ery province of the empire has Its missions, with a total of 2,027 na tive church organizations and 177, 721 Protestant church members. And in addition to the areas un reached there are the Moslems, numbering millions. Tt is said that the Moslem population of China Is certainly ecjual to the entire popula tion of Algeria or Scotland or Ire land: that it is in all probability equal to that of Morocco and num bers not less than the total popula tion of Persia. One writer has said: "Within China there Is a special peo ple, equal in number to the popula tion of any of China's dependencies, for whom practically nothing Is be ing done, and whose presence hith erto has been almost ignorei." TIIK BIBLE IN JAPAN. Fifty years aeo no portion of the : Bible was translated into the japan- I e?e laneuage, nor was the Bible in I any language allowed to be circulat- I ed in Japan. Twenty-five years ago tho complete Bible in what is called the authorized version was printed. During the quarter century the Ja panese laneuaee has greatly devel oped and become standardized, the people of the various provinces com ing to speak the "Tokio dialect." Tt was, therefore, felt that a revision was necessary, and a "revision com mittee" was appointed recently by the "permanent committee on the translation, revision, publication and preservation of the text of the holy Scriptures In Japan." The latter committee is composed of t o agents of each Mihle society and one repre sentative from each co-operating mission. The following is an extract from the most recent report of the "re vision committee:'' "At the c lose of 1 !i I 1 the gospel ! of Mark had been published, and tne I preliminary drafts of Matthew, Luke and John had either been completed or were well under way. The sec ond revision of Matthew In full com mittee had proceeded to about Lie tilteeiith chapter. During the pres ent year, in addition to the prelim inary drafts of Luke and John by the subcommittee, to whom that work was entrusted, the revision by full committee of the latter half of Matthew, the- wholc of Luke and a portion of John has been accom plished and preliminary draft 1i;ib been made of a considerable portion of the Acts." THE ARABIC LANC.l'AC.K. It is said that the Arabic lan guage will ye-t he the vehicle for carrying the gospel in Africa and Asia among the Mohammedans. 'Ihe Arabs themselves say: "Wisdom hath alighted upon three, things -the brain of the Franks, the hand or I the Chinese and the tongue of the ' A r a liu " Arabia Is undoubtedly important because of Its speec h. Samuel M. Zwemer says: "Arabic- literature Is found throughout the whole Moham medan world, and the Arable lan guage is growing In Influence and power, and is one of the great living languages of the world. The Ara bic Koran is a textbook In the day schools of Turkey, Afghanistan, Ja va, Sumatra, New Guinea and South ern Russia. Arabic is the spoken language not only of the Arabs of Arabia proper, but forces the lin guistic boundary of that peninsula three hundred miles north of Bag dad to Diarhekr and Marclin, and Is used all over yria and Palestine, and the whode of Northern ATrlca. Even in Capo Colony and tho West Indies there are daily papers in the language of Mohammed. This won derful Ilexihle, logical speech with its enormous vocabulary and delica cy of expression can only be won ."or Christianity when Arabia is won for Christ. BI'DDHISTS IN J A PAN. In Japan there are thirteen de nominations and fifty-seven sects of Buddhism. Of these the most pow erful one is that of Shin Shiu. There are 7 1 . T ". ;t temples and .Vi.osi priests. This number includes only residing priests. Counting all those engaged In preaching and teaching there are 7:5,0 4 7. There are also other kinds of priests and nuns wno have clone duties of either preachrng or teaching. These number r4,oi)i. These classes of priests and nuns make up in all 1 SO, 12!. Besides these there are about 1 0,000 stu dents preparing for the priesthood. The home department of the Ja panese government has been gather ing statistics of Christians for many years, anck the last report of ttie number of believers of the different churches is ns follows: Roman Catholic.

Iast year there were 3.'!4 students in at tendance in the theological semina ries. Of this number ."0 graduated. BEGINNING OF MISSIONS. The modern era of English mis sions began with Carey. When he wrote his investigation of the mis sionary problem, that wonderful ep itome of the conditions and tne needs of the non-Christian world oT his day, it was true that discovery and Investigation had vastly widen ed the horizon of missions, and trie world was more Christian than in the days of Paul, but It was still largely unknown, only partly discov ered and very sparsely occupied by missions. Africa was unexplored, China unknown, .Central Asia unvis ited, and the principal mission fields of today closed by barriers and dif ficulties which seemed insurmount able. MILLIONS OF MOHAMMEDAN'S. Only 13 centuries have passed since the death of Mohammed ana today there are 22.". 000,000 Moham medans, one-seventh of the popula tion of the globe. There are 50, 000, 000 in Africa. 62.000,000 in In dia, 30,000,000 In China, 20,000. 000 In the Malay Archipelago, and 250,000 in, the Philippines, not to NEWS OF THE COUNTY LATEST FROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS Newsy Letter from Gazette Cor pondeiits Here and There Oratf (iood Old Caxton What Oat' Neighbor Are Doing In the Vai ions Sections of the County Pev sonal Mention of People Tea Know and Some You Don't Know IIKKKYYILLK HOl'TK a XKWS.
