Description

Excerpt from The Juvenile Instructor, Vol. 27: August 1, 1892 These Arabs are generally of smaller build than their roaming brethren. But they are strong and brave. They fulfill the duties of their religion with commendable punctuality. They attend regularly to their washings and ablutions; say their prayers wherever they are at the appointed hours, and no matter how busy they may be, and refuse to touch any thing prohibited by the Koran. To strangers they are generally polite, but they are ignorant and as a rule, opposed to any progress. They cling to the traditions of their fathers and consider their own religion and civilization superior to everybody else's. Their noticeable faults are greediness and immorality. About of this class of people have accepted Christianity in one form or another, and these are by degrees adopting occidental civilization. Their houses, their clothing, their manners bear an unmistakable stamp of their desire to emerge from the state of stagnation that characterizes the orientals, and to keep up with the rest of the world. Notwithstanding this, they exhibit many of the faults so noticeable in the Semitic race. And no wonder. For the long rule or rather misrule of the Turks is not calculated to elevate the people either morally or intellectually. They are, how ever, industrious and energetic and show a desire to learn, and have therefore embraced with eagerness what Catholic and Protestant missionaries have offered them in the form of religion. There is no doubt that intelligently directed labor among these orientals would. Result in many of them embracing the gospel of Jesus Christ.
