The War Journal of a Missionary in Persia (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover
Excerpt from The War Journal of a Missionary in Persia
The following journal gives a vivid account of the months of distress and peril that the native Christians and missionaries at Urumia, Persia, passed through last winter and spring. To one who went through it, every incident mentioned and every harrowing detail brings before the mind the pano rama of terror, privation and disease that passed be fore our eyes day by day. No history can ever exaggerate the horror of it all as a whole.
Possibly a question may arise as to the right of the missionaries to use the money deposited with them by the native Persians. This money was left with the clear understanding that it might be used at the discretion of the missionaries, although it was stipu lated that it ultimately would be returned to the depositors. The Mission emerged from those months in debt about which has since been entirely repaid.
Another winter is at hand, and the number of Christians in the immediate Urumia district who are without food is not less than Most of these have lost their homes and clothing, as well as food supplies. Besides these, absolutely destitute Nestorians have come across the border from Turkey, and the probabilities are that as many more will be added to this number of refugees. To these may be added Armenian refugees from Turkey and other destitute Christians in Salmas and elsewhere. Here is a definite and desperate need, which the Relief Committee in Persia, consisting of the Honorable Gordon Paddock, American Consul at Tabriz, and missionaries of the American Mission, with a number of the Anglican Mission, can meet effectively if they have the funds. Can there be a more cogent appeal than this? What is your answer to the ccncluding question of this journal: Will the Christians of America pay the bill?
