Work will commence as soon as
the weather will permit.
A highly interesting and in
structive lecture was given at
the Congregational church last
Sunday evening by Joseph Ko-
shaba, native of Persia, who is
studying medicine at Hamline
college, with the intention of re
turning to Persia as medical
missionary. The lecture was
illustrated with stereoscopic
views Of people and scenes in
Persia, and the rehearsing Of the
customs and conditions of this
away people, engulfed in su-
perstition and ignorance an d
ruled by cruel despotism,

less to have something Of an ap-
probation of the blessings en-
joyed by Americans in their
Christian civilization.
