I read to him verses of the 119th Psalm (‘I will utter thy testimonies before kings, and will not be ashamed’’) and parts of the tenth chapter of St. Matthew. He was amazed at the appropriateness of the Word of God. At nine o’clock he had to go to the Residency with Mr. Thornton. I had to go to church, as it was our Communion Sunday. I told the congregation briefly about the matter, and requested prayer for Bulus, then and there. When the people went out before the ‘“‘ Ye that do truly,” I lifted up my eyes, and there was—Bulus, radiant! I knew that the dreaded interview had passed, and passed easily and briefly. Afterwards we heard how it had all gone—the father had not turned up; Bulus had been questioned by a Mohammedan before Lord Cromer, and stood firm.

They embraced and kissed one another, and then the poor fellow fairly broke down. He was inconsolable.’ ; Other interesting converts were baptized in the same year as Bulus, among them a man who was first attracted to Christ by the life of his master, a Christian tradesman, and another man (baptized with his wife and family), a former student at Al Azhar, who had tried both Islam and Agnosticism, and had found that they alike failed to meet his needs, Literary Work.

During the last few years literary work in the Mission has been diligently prosecuted, and early in 1905 a new weekly magazine, entitled Orient and Occident, printed in Arabic and English, was published. About 1,500 copies of each number are sent out to all parts of Egypt, and some farther afield.
