The Press and The Christian W o r ld Irish " Y " To mark the 100th anniversary of the YMCA of the City of Dublin (1849- 1949), one of the largest evangelistic campaigns ever attempted will begin this month. The evangelist is a Welshman, Myrddin Lewis, a gifted singer with a great love for the souls of men. Cheeseman October saw the observance of the 65th anniversary of the Central Union Mis sion in Washington, D.C., one of the oldest missions in America. Mr. James L. Kraft, of the Kraft Foods Company, was the speaker at the mass meeting in Constitution Hall, and Homer Rodeheav- er, director of song. Zwemers Sail To attend the 60th anniversary of the Arabian Mission of the Dutch Reformed Church, Dr. and Mrs. Samuel M. Zwemer recently left for the Near East. It is interesting to note that in 1900 Dr. Zwemer wrote “ Arabia, The Cradle of Islam,” in the center of what is now the great oil district. Warning The American Bible Society’s Dr. Eric M. North warns against a racket cur rently being carried on by the natives of Nigeria. These natives copy letters that have been successful in bringing gift Bibles from soft-hearted Americans, the purpose being to sell them and make money. Dr. North advises that there is ample opportunity for any sincere native to secure a free or inexpensive Bible from existing sources. Mexican Y FC Alicia de Leon (Biola ’47), present Director of Youth for Christ in Mexico, reports progress in the printing of hymn books and weekly news sheets for Mex ican young people. Meetings included a rally with Dr. Walter Montano, with 1500 in attendance. There is still much to be done for 26 out of the 28 states in Mexico have no Youth for Christ meet ings. A youth magazine and a radio pro gram are also greatly needed. Less Than 10 Dr. Raymond B. Buker, of the Con servative Baptist Foreign Mission So ciety, warns that missionaries may have less than 10 years left in which to bring the gospel of Christ to Africa and other areas. Government officials expressed their belief to Mr. Buker that the white man’s days in Africa are numbered. There is a rising tide of nationalism and Communism that may soon drive out all foreigners.
