"I hate to think I've got to grow up, and be Miss March, and wear long gowns, and look as prim as a China Aster! It's bad enough to be a girl, anyway, when I like boy's games and work and manners! I can't get over my disappointment in not being a boy. And it's worse than ever now, for I'm dying to go and fight with Papa. And I can only stay home and knit, like a poky old woman!"

While the percentage of Christians in the Middle East declined overall, several countries—Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates—had an influx of Christians since 1970. These Christian populations were not new local converts but Christian migrants from places like the Philippines and South Korea moving to the Middle East for work. The Christian population in Bahrain, for example, rose from 4 percent in 1970 to a projected 13 percent in 2025, almost entirely because of immigration.

MUSTAFA KEMAL was twenty, wiry in build, with a tough constitution and unlimited vitality.
He had no experience of life. Salonika had been a mean little port; Lazaran a country village; Monastir a dull provincial town. He had none of his mother's deep beliefs or principles to keep him steady.
At once he plunged wildly into the unclean life of the great metropolis of Constantinople. Night after night he gambled and drank in the cafes and restaurants. With women he was not fastidious. A figure, a face in profile, a laugh, could set him on fire and reaching out to get the woman, whatever she was.
Sometimes it would be with the Greek and Armenian harlots in the bawdy-houses in the garbage-stinking streets by Galata Bridge, where came the pimps and the homosexualists to cater for all the vices; then for a week or two a Levantine lady in her house in Pangaldi; or some Turkish girl who came veiled and by back-ways in fear of the police to some maison de rendez-vous in Pera or Stambul.
He fell in love with none of them. He was never sentimental or romantic. Without a pang of conscience he passed rapidly from one to the next. He satisfied his appetite and was gone.
He was completely Oriental in his mentality: women had no place in his life except to satisfy his sex. He plunged deep down into the lecherous life of the city. Suddenly he reacted from all this rioting and concentrated on his work with the same energy.
Does the sun undertake to do the work of the rain?
Gone, for many, was rural or small-town life, where the pace of work was determined by night and day, sowing and harvest. In its place people found the precision and the regimen of the factory world. God’s sun was hidden behind the smoke, and in its place was the factory whistle, symbol of man’s time, not God’s.
