Neglected Arabia
"The Journal of The Arabian Mission"
The Arabian Mission was founded in 1889 by the Dutch Reformed Church in America, with a group of Trustees including Thomas Russell of Montclair, Rev. Prof. J. G. Lansing of New Brunswick and Rev. A. Zwemer of Spring Lake, Michigan. In 1891 the Trustees requested a regular report from the Treasurer and Secretary of the Mission in the field, and the first quarterly Field Reports began on January 1st, 1892, submitted from Basra by James Cantine, Treasurer, S. M. Zwemer, Secretary, and C. E. Riggs M.D.
In the early years there is a constant picture of ill-health among the missionaries themselves. Rev. P. J. Zwemer, who served from the beginning, returned to the U.S. in 1898 to die before the age of 30. Mr Barny all but succumbed to typhoid in 1899. The Rev. Stone died of a heat apoplexy after only a few months at the Muscat station. In 1905 Dr Marion Thoms died at an early age after six years in Bahrain. The missionaries were tenacious, and the names of certain families - Zwemer, Van Ess, Thoms - recur throughout Neglected Arabia as younger generations followed on.
As the missionaries turned from purely evangelical work to increasing social involvement, the journal evolved to reflect their wider interests. Neglected Arabia becomes more substantial, with numerous essays not only on the missionaries' regular work but on their observations of local territories and communities.
The Arabian Mission journals form an extraordinarily rich research source. They are much more than the chronicle of Christian missionary activity - this is only the starting point. Over a 70-year period the publication is the mirror of social, medical and educational development in the Gulf states. Neglected Arabia is an indispensable source for medical history in particular, with extensive information on the incidence of disease and methods of treatment.
An historical aspect of particular interest is the development of the relationship between the missionary stations and the local communities. From an early date the work of the Mission was valued by the Rulers. In 1903 the Mission in Muscat was given a piece of land by the Sultan to extend the garden, an unusual tribute as "he is noted as being very adverse to foreigners obtaining any further hold upon his country." In 1915 Sheikh Mobarrek of Koweit gave the land for the mission house. The journals contain more than one account of meetings with Ibn Saud; in 1915: "you feel at once, here is a man I can trust", and in 1937 his cordiality to the missionaries is recorded. In 1948 the Sultan of Oman opened the new hospital at Matrah.
The interest of the Arabian Mission journals, as they develop over the course of three-quarters of a century, is only partly in their information content - the medical statistics, the social reports and local colour. Their value lies in the hidden message of the relationship between two religious faiths, superficially supposed to be in conflict. With time, trust and above all practical work, Christian missionaries and Muslim communities found a remarkable and enduring bond.
Evolution of the journal
The Arabian Mission began publication of its Field Report in 1892. Nos. 1-26 appeared, concluding on June 30, 1898. The Quarterly Letters were published from nos. 27 through 40 (,July 1898-December 1901). Average extent of each issue at this time was c.16pp. Starting with no. 41 the journal was published as Neglected Arabia, up to no. 215 (1902-Winter 1949). Finally it appeared as Arabia Calling from nos. 216 through 250 (Spring 1949-March 1962).
