Excerpt from The Egyptian Sudan

The Sudan has also awakened a deep and in creasing missionary interest. The sorrows and sufferings which the slave trade visited upon the country, the more recent desolation caused by a decade and a half of Mahdi rule, the strange and whole-hearted devotion of the Sudanese races to religious, though false, ideals, the martyrdom of Gordon, Isaiah's realistic and hopeful prophecy concerning this part of Africa, and finally the present destitution of the land and the largeness of the present missionary opportunity - unite in their appeal to the sympathy and missionary in terest of Christendom.

Excerpt from The Egyptian Sudan

Ever since the tragic and pathetic death of General Charles Gordon at Khartum, on January 26th, 1885, the Egyptian Sudan has occupied a large place in the thought and sympathy of the Western world. Before that time, the adventures and discoveries of such explorers as Baker, Grant, Schweinfurth, Speke, or the harrowing tales connected with the slave trade, awakened only a temporary and transient interest in this section of Africa. At the death of Gordon, however, something of the worth and dignity which the world rightly attached to the life and character of that Christian soldier, passed over to the land for which he so willingly suffered martyrdom.

Since Kitchener's victory over the Mahdists at Omdurman, the Egyptian Sudan has been open to civilization, and interest in the Sudan has developed along two clearly defined lines and this interest promises to increase steadily from year to year.
