Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life and Work of Mary Louisa Whately In presenting this little Memorial Sketch of my sisters life-work to the public, I feel an apology is needed that it has been so imperfectly executed. It was, unavoidably, compiled in haste, and under the combined hindrances of ill-health and a great press of business, partly connected with that work of hers described in the volume. But it may serve as a slight indication of what the undertaking was which she was enabled to commence: for she herself would have been the first to endorse the declaration that it was only the commencement - the seed-sowing of what we trust will culminate in a glorious harvest. For centuries the Gospel, while preached to many others in darkness and ignorance, seemed never to have even approached the Moslem. And Egypt, and especially Cairo, the site of the great central College where Islamism is taught to students from every part of the Eastern world where Arabic is known, appeared more emphatically shut out than even India or Persia, except among the Copts, whose influence among their Moslem neighbours was, virtually, scarcely felt. Mary Whately was privileged to be a pioneer in the great work of reaching the Moslem mind with the Gospel message in this the stronghold of Islam.
