Religious Hostility in Persia

DR. J. H. SHEDD, writing from Oroomish, Persia, about the unfriendliness of the Mohammedans, says: "We have for a year past lived in the stifling atmosphere of religious hate that threatens violence and ruin. The feeling of insecurity follows Christians constantly, and the unfriendliness of the Moslems is pervading. It threatens and reviles, has committed many acts of outrage, and some of murder. The Christians are not always judicious or conciliatory, and a bitter antipathy of race and religion on both sides is engendered. It is very injurious to all missionary work, and all true Christians should pray that the strained relations may yield to the gospel of kindness and good will."
