overturn, before Syria comes to
Christ.
It has been stated on a preceding page that in 1835, the American wife
of an English merchant, Mrs. Alexander Tod, gave a large part of the
funds to build the first school-house for girls ever built in Syria.
That substantial union has been happily reproduced in the cordial
cooeperation of the Anglo-American and German communities in Beirut, both
in the Church, public charities and educational institutions, up to the
present time.
Let us all live in Christ, work for Christ, keep our eye fixed on
Christ, and we shall be with Christ, and Christ with us!
