IN SUMS CONTRIBUTED
TO FOREIGN MISSIONS
(By Associated Press)
NEW YORK, Jan. 26.—The World
War caused the withdrawal of all
Protestant foreign missionaries from
219 residence stations, which are to
day either not occupied at all or are
in the hands of Christian nationals,
according to data compiled for a large
World Missionary atlas soon to be
published by the Institute of Social
and Religious Research.
Of the stations completely vacated,
126 are in Africa, 5S in India, 11 in
Netherlands Indies and 21 in Western
Asia. The remainder are in scatter
ed areas. For the most part the sta
tions vacated were occupied before
the war by Continental missionaries.
But despite the war. operations are
shown by the new atlas to be on a
very much greater scale than at the
beginning of the century.
There are missionaries in residence
at 450S stations, not including Ameri
an church workers in Europe outside
of Turkey-in-Europe. or workers who
devote their time to European immi
grants in the United States and Can
ada.
t Since 1900. according to the atlas
figures, the number of Protestant
\ ommunicants has increased in Asia
from 622.460 to “1.533.507; in Africa
\ from 342.857 to 1.015.6S3, not includ

driving an automobile at 120 kilome

“Sure,” he replied. “Didn’t I see

one-halt' years and recently was grant

kilometers an hour.
“Do you know wnat sort of a film
you are going to appear in over

ed. “Will you drive an automobile?"
“Certainly,” he replied, “otherwise
1 shouldn’t go.”
