Another Word from Persia

By post card dated August 4, Brother F. F. Oster gives us another word from Persia. He says: “We were expecting to leave Tabriz on our return to Maragha ere this; but we shall delay a little time yet. This week there has been another general flight of the Christians from Maragha, on account of invasion by Kurds and Turks. Practically all the Christians fled in great haste. Great privations were endured. The Russians have the situation well in hand, though great fear still prevails. This makes the third general flight, besides numerous scares in which small companies fled. We really thought things were getting a little safer, but there is nothing to depend upon. We have been here now six weeks. Several have begun keeping the Sabbath.” He reports all well and of good courage.
