Volume 3 Issue 10 of The Syrian World published April 1929. The issue begins with an article by Rev. W. A. Mansur titled "Syrians' Loyalty to America" which discusses the nature of Syrians' dedication to the United States, the basis of their political allegiance, and the tests of their sincerity. Next, Ibn El-Khoury discusses another aspect of Lebanese culture with an article on the Village Festival, which mostly focuses on religious holidays. Following it is the transcription of an address from the Testimonial Dinner given in honor of Ameen Rihani by Philip K. Hitti, primarily highlighting Rihani's contribution to Arabic lore. After the long discussion of Rihani's importance in literature, there is a collection of Arabic riddles by Elia D. Madi translated to English by Andrew Ghareeb. A short introspective poem by Kahlil Gibran titled "Fame" follows. The next article, written by Alfred Mussawir, discusses the origin of fire-blowing, a talent identified distinctly with a Syrian slave in Sicily named Eunus. The final piece of writing in this issue is a poem by Labeebee A. J. Hanna which is dedicated to the Federation of Syrian Societies and discusses the fellowship present in their confederation. The issue concludes with excerpts from the Arab press, the Reader's Forum, and an update on political developments in Syria.

Volume 3 Issue 12 of The Syrian World published June 1929. The issue begins with an article by Dr. Bayard Dodge titled "Education and Catastrophe," which discusses the importance of education as an internal measure of preventing catastrophe in society. Following it is a continuation of Ameen Rihani's travel experiences in Arabia, this time a "Lesson in Zoology and Healing." Rihani spends time with King Hussein, and in doing so sees how much the king enjoys the company of small animals and takes an interest in traditional medical practices. The king enlists one of his own surgeons to help Rihani with arm pain, which disappears after a simple salve of butter and garlic. The next piece is a poem by Labeebee A. J. Hanna titled "Will You Come Back!" which discusses the pain of remembering times lost. The short story "The Greatness of John Hasbani" by Rev. W. A. Mansur is next. A continuation of Dr. Philip K. Hitti's discussion of Book of Usama follows. Dr. George Knaysi writes about the relationship between science and the biological significance of youth and age. The issue concludes with excerpts from the Arab press, the Reader's Forum, and news on the Syrian societies from around the U.S.

Volume 4 Issue 04 of The Syrian World published December 1929. First in this issue Ameen Rihani discusses the American conception of the "stage sheik," and he corrects this view as he has the experience to do so, with his travels throughout Arabia. Following that there is Paul Deab's poem titled "Renaissance," which paints a wintery scene. Salloum Mokarzel, the paper's editor, is featured next with more of his trip to Syria. This issue covers his trip to Zahle. His account is followed by a poem by Dr. Salim Y. Alkazin titled "Restless." Dr. Phillip Hitti is featured next with his discussion of the Druze religion, a rather secretive organization. Through translating some of the original text and prayers never before seen, he presents an interesting account of the religion. Adelaide Faris is also included for her own account of Syria, taken from her family trip a few years prior. Within it she presents a vivid account of the historic beauty of Syria like never before. An excerpt of Emile Dumit's play "Staging a Desert Scene" is presented last before an advertisement for the Great Syrian World Contest, which if won includes a free trip to Syria following the same route the editor Salloum Mokarzel took the summer of 1929 with his family. The issue concludes with excerpts from the Arab press, and an update on the political situation in Syria.

Volume 4 Issue 05 of The Syrian World published January 1930. The issue begins with a discussion of Syrians' contributions to society introduced by Rev. W. A. Mansur. As is usual with Mansur's writings in the Syrian World, it is imbued with patriotism and inspiration in relation to the value of the Syrian people. Salloum Mokarzel is featured next with a discussion focused around the changes taking place in the Middle East, with particular attention paid to the fundamental orientation in the character of the people. He discusses the new presence of cooperation taking place within the economic field, the great hydroelectric project of Nahr Kadisha, and detailed accounts of special interviews with Archbishop Antoun Arida. Labeebee A. J. Hanna and Dr. Salim Y. Alkazin follow his article with poems, and Kahlil Gibran presents his literary genius with yet another of his prose poetry titled "The Two Learned Men," a story that showcases the struggle of faith. Following yet another poem by Mischa Naimy, Ameen Rihani gives a vivid account of the inception and growth of the Ahleyah School in Beirut. Aref El-Khoury's short story titled "The Wager" is the last work of prose in the issue. The story is set in Damascus, with a Syrian-American boy and girl as its characters. The issue closes with excerpts from the Arab press and an update on the political developments in Syria.

Alkazin is next featured with his poem titled "Reconciliation," which discusses forgetting the past in lieu of forgiveness. Dr. Talcott Williams continues on the topic of Syrians in America.

He discusses an experiment regarding health insurance undertaken by Lebanese physician Dr. Rasheed Ma'took.

Volume 5 Issue 01 of The Syrian World published September 1930. The issue opens with Ameen Rihani's discussion of Women in the Middle East, specifically that up to this point in history women were forced into submission and seclusion in a male dominated world.

Rihani discusses the fundamental importance of the women’s movement in the East. Next Prof. Charles D. Matthews discusses American educational institutions in the Near East as a part of a study he conducted while visiting Syria and studying its the social, political, economic, and educational trends.

Featured in this issue is also a serial titled "Ali Zaibaq" or "Quicksilver," translated by Salloum Mokarzel in collaboration with Mr. Thaddeus S. Dayton.

Mansur in which he discusses the important material and moral accomplishments of his ethnic peers in order to showcase their overall greatness.

Volume 5 Issue 03 of The Syrian World published November 1930. The issue starts off with an article by Dr. F. I. Shatara discussing the New British Policy in Palestine. Shatara, a Palestinian Arab, followed the events closely and wrote an article describing the situation. It primarily focused around the religious wars of the area, and England's place in reconciling the situation as the colonial power in charge. Featured next is a special article from Ameen Rihani discussing the subject of the Syrian in American art. Following that is Salloum Mokarzel's account of Damascus from his travels, in which he takes the readers through the principal quarters and places of historic importance. Following a poem titled "Ships Sail Out" by Alice George there is a continuation of the "Ali Zaibaq" serial from the previous two issues. In addition to the usual book reviews of the last few issues there are two poems, one by Thomas Asa and the other by Dr. Salim Y. Alkazin. The issue concludes with a further editorial discussion on the New British Policy in Palestine, more on the political developments in Syria, and lastly articles from the Arab press that specifically relate to Syria and Syrians.

Volume 5 Issue 04 of The Syrian World published December 1930. The issue begins with an article by Rev. W. A. Mansur that features his thoughts on the educational program that the Syrian-American generation follows. Mansur imbues his writing with patriotism. This is followed by yet another piece by G.K. Gibran titled "Song"
there is an article with a slightly different tone discussing the economic reconstruction of Syria. In D.F. McGonigal's article "The Vice Consul of Beirut" speaks on the resources of the country and the efforts of the government in a comprehensive manner. Falling back into the more lyrical and fictional literary contributions in this issue there is a poem by the well-known Ameen Rihani, as well as an address given by Phares Anton BeHannesey at the Lions Club of Hollywood, CA. Before the two primary fictional inclusions in this issue, there is also a poem by Dr. Salim Y. Alkazin titled "In the Garden of Love." Hailed as the most thrilling contribution is "Love and War in the Desert," a modern story that revolves around the love of a young sheikh for a maiden of another tribe, which culminates with her kidnaping at his request. This narrative is further followed by the next installment of "Ali Zaibaq." The last work in the issue is a poem by Thomas Asa titled "The Gardener." The issue concludes with the Reader's Forum, an update on the political developments in Syria, and a number of excerpts from the Arab press that specifically touch on Syria and Syrians.
