AFGHANISTAN.
Afghanistan is still a "closed land" m missionary parlance, but, is becoming remarkably open to the world through the completion of a telephone system which links Kabul to every
province and still more by the installation now m progress of five wireless stations, of which the most powerful, at Kabul, is capable of communication with Tokyo, Melbourne, London and Rio de Janeiro. We read, too, of a volley-ball team setting out by motor lorry from Kabul to Tashkent, m Russian Turkestan, on the -invitation of the Soviet authorities, an event which appeals to the imagination. How long can Afghanistan now remain "closed" to Christianity?
