Rev. K. Shimmun.
This gentleman is from Persia. '
He belongs to the Presbyterian
church and has been in America ]
four years studying for the eos.
pel ministry.
On Sunday ni^ht he lectured in
the Pivsbvt *1 bill ehureli mi llm
live religions <>f .Persia, which lire r
Xoroast riitn ism, A rmenianism, <T ti daism.
Ncstorianism and Maliometanisui.
()n Monday he le-turcd at the '
academy and told of shool-lil'e in
Persia (imiiiie the hoys, for tlicv 1
have no rehools for girls in that '
country. The ehildrcu felt some- '
thing of the advantages of this (
hind when he told them that in
lVrsia the children had no Raines j
and toys, and also that SantaClaus
never had been seen ilicic.
That night he h tui'id to a
lar^e audience in ihe town hall
and illustrated his im-trucln us by (
pictures. The uiurhle palaces of t
the rich and the mud hovels of '
the poor, the peculiar dress of the (v
people and their Hirsute marriage (
customs, the plowing of ground <
and the making of rugs and many t
other things were imi>rebsively I
told liy word and picture.
Constantly tiid the lecturer bring
out the faults of Mahninctanisui.
making its two hundred mil ions
of people to he as base and miser- !
able as it seemed possible for
human beings to become, 'l et,
these j eoj)le have m my tine traits,
for they are scrupulously clean.'
They pray live times every day,
and their religion prohibits the
drinking of wine, the engaging in
games of chance or receiving interest
on loans made to their own
people. The great weakness of
Mahonietanism is that by it
"woman is totally withdrawn from
her proper place in the social
circle.*' A.
