Volume 3 Issue 11 of The Syrian World published May 1929. The issue begins with an article by George A. Ferris which discusses future of Syrians in America and the possibility of losing Syrian culture while assimilating into American society. The next piece is a travel journal by Ameen Rihani which details his trip to Arabia and his encounter with King Hussein of Jordan, a supposed direct descendant of Muhammed. It is followed by a poem by Kahlil Gibran titled "Out of My Deeper Heart," a discussion of faith. Next is a poem by Dr. Najib A. Katibah titled "The Sudanese Soldier," a piece reminiscent of the time that the writer himself served with the British Armed forces in the conquest of Sudan. Philip K. Hitti has a chapter excerpt from Usama. Dr. Salim Y. Alkazin is featured next with a poem called "In the Rose Season," which discusses the time of year where roses bloom, and which the poet states is also "love's season." Another poem, translated from Arabic by Labeebee A. J. Hanna, follows, titled "Man is Dead." A collection of sonnets by Thomas Asa dedicated to Gibran K. Gibran primarily follow the theme of friendship. The final article presented is written by Dr. George Knaysi, an instructor of bacteriology at Cornell University. The article is titled "Man is Potentially Immortal," and it discusses the uncertainty and curiosity that accompanies the unknown territory of life and death in a scientific sense. The issue concludes with the Reader's Forum, excerpts from the Arab press, and more on the 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.
