Mission Prospects in Abyssinia and Persia

BROTHER L. R. CONRADI writes that our brethren at work on the borders of Abyssinia, in the Italian province of Eritrea, are constantly making inquiries as to the prospects for entering Abyssinia itself. He says: “I shall see what can be done with some of the Italian colonial authorities at Rome, toward securing the right to form a society to secure and hold property. We are also getting facts together about Persia, and launching the work there. The British Foreign Bible Society wrote me a very nice letter concerning the new translation of the Gospels [under Brother Kotz’s supervision at the Hamburg Publishing House] into the Chasu, and said they felt much in sympathy with the enterprise. They stated the conditions under which they could co-operate with us, and we will see what can be done.”
