Tabriz, Persia, February 10,

Tabriz, Persia, February 10, 1891.
DEAR EDIToR,-To write you con-
corning this strange land has been my
intention for some time. Persia was
the cradle of the human race. Here
Adam and Eve flourished and fell.
Here Noah descended from the ark and
started to build up the nations. Here
was the home of Esther, of Mordecai,
of Cyrus, of Darius and of the wise
men, who we're the FIRST to greet the in
FAINT Messiah. The history of ancient
Persia is the history of one of the DOM
inant nations of the then known world.
This nation returned the Jews from
their Babylonish captivity back to their
old home Jerusalem. Five hundred
years b. G., Persian territory extended
from India on the East to Northern
Africa on the West and from Southern
Arabia and the Indian Ocean on the
South to the Black sea and Russia on
the north. Within this wide stretch of
territory there were probably seventy
five or one hundred million people.
What shall we say OF the Persia of to-
day? Has it withslood the attacks of
time? Alas, no.
Modern Persia in area is equal to
about ope-lifth of the United States,
or about equal to France, Germany and
Austria combined. The population is
estimated from seven to nine millions
though | am not aware that any CEN
sus has ever been taken. Russia and
Turkey on the north and west still are
looking with coveting eyes on Persian
territory, but the strong English i'll
auenee in southern Persia serves as =
Safeguard to the Persian Government.
The king of Persia is called the shah.
The present shah has been reigning
about forty years and is now about 81
years old. His reign has been on the
whole fairly good considering the form
of this government. Persia is an abso-
lutte monarchy. The Shah has supreme
control, except what influence the Null
labs, OF Ai~ohammrdan priests, exert
over him. II is the opposition Of these
Mullalls, which prevents religious lib
erty III Persia. Now no Nohammedan
is allowed to attend our church with
out being prosecuted.
~ 1:,.t.l
Over each province The Shah appoints a
governor. The governor is supreme in
his oNn province and il only acconnta.
HE to the SHAH, whom he pays a large
sum of money yearly. The governor
procures his mnney BY taxing the ma.
tives of his province. Tue province in
which l am loca' I'd is the northern pro-
vince OF Persia aud is called Azerbigan.
