... Between meetings, one might have heard the sound of praying in Arabic from upstairs, and the missionaries pleading for blessing in English.  Not only the converts received blessing, but all the missionaries who attended the conference.
    The C. M. S., the American Mission, the Egypt General Mission, and the Dutch Mission were all represented.  Among those who attended, was Barakat (Blessings); a tall man from up country, once a slave, now a native pastor.  Two men who had been together as Moslems in Jerusalem five years ago, met here for the first time since then, both having become Christians. (Missionary Review., v.32, 1909)
