die revival spirit in Islam and of conducting a vigorous missionary effort throughout the world among non-Moslems. This Ahmadiya movement, as it is called, has been a surprisingly bold effort. It has established mosques in New York, Chicago, London, Liverpool, Paris, and Berlin. The twenty-year record of one of its missionary societies has an interesting account of activities. Here is a brief summary of it:
1. The Woking (England) Moslem mission, the first such mission to the West, has a mosque which has been in use for many years. (There are said to he between two and three thousand British Moslems.)
2. The German Moslem mission was founded in 1924 in Berlin. Upwards of four hundred Germans have been won over to Islam. The magnificent mosque in Berlin was erected at an expense of more than fifty thousand dollars.
3. The Austrian Moslem mission was opened in Vienna in 1934.
4. The Java Moslem mission was founded in 1924 to save the Moslems of that island from Christian propaganda.
5. The holy Koran has been translated into three European languages. The English version alone has run up to thirty thousand copies, while its Dutch translation has been published by the Java mission.
6. The life of the holy Prophet has been translated into the following languages: English, Dutch, Polish, Italian, Turkish, Albanian, Hindi, Sindhi, Bengali, Gurmukhi, Tamil, Gujarati, Kanarese, Javanese, Malay, Siamese and Chinese.
7. Religious periodicals are being published in English, Dutch, German and Javanese.
8. Two high schools have been established in India to imbue the rising generation with the true Islamic spirit.
