Excerpt from The Near East: Crossroads of the World The term Near East as used in this book includes Egypt, Syria, Asia Minor, Mesopotamia, and Persia. It did not seem feasible to include the Balkans within the scope of this study, and Arabia is barely touched. But who knows Arabia? It' is still a term incognita, waiting as it has waited throughout untold centuries for the coming of a new day that has yet to dawn on that land of desert plains, fertile valleys, and ele mental races. The question of the Near East has never been absent from the world forum. It has never been settled con elusively because it has never been settled right. It never will be settled until statesmen and churchmen are willing to apply to this region of world interest the principle of the Hebrew Prophet, Let justice roll down as waters and righteousness as a mighty stream.
