MISS SUSIE SORABII.
Young Parsee Missionary who Has
Done Wonderful Evangelisti
Work in the Far East.

There recently arrived in New York
from Bombay young woman of an
exceedingly interesting personality
and history. Susie Sorobji, is mem
Der of Parsee family-one of the
very few families which have abiured
Zoroastcianism to embrace Chistian-
ity. AS is we'll known, the Parsecs
(Persians), of India, of whom there
are over. 100000, are descendants of
an ancient sect known rs fireworship-
ers, or Zoroastrians, who, driven
from their own land by Mohammedan
persecution, sought refuge in Hindu
stan in the seventh century. At the
present day they represent the most
prosperous moral and cultured class
of the native population.
Until 1s41 no Parsee had accepted
Christ. In that year Mr.. Sorabii, a
Parsee gentleman of position and in
huencc, was converted, and about the
same time two other men of similar
standing acknowledged the Saviour.
All suffered severe persecution. Mr..
Sorabji died in 1894, after so years of
missionary work. His widow is at
the head of a great Christian educa-
tional work in PoOnah, and her chill
drcn, one of whom is the subject of
this sketch, are the brilliant pioneers
of new movements in Parsec life.
Miss Sorabji's only brother, a dis
tinguished lawyer in Allahabad, is
the organizer of a great deal of
Christian work, which draws to-
gcther people of all races and classes.
Her sister Cornelia is the first wom-
an of India to take the degree of
bachelor of arts. She is Tndia's first
and only woman lawyer, and the first
woman to hold a professorship (thc
chair of English iterature) in the
mems art college in India. Another
sister is, by government appointment,
head of the girls high school and
training college in Poonah, an I'm.
usual honor. for it is not customary
to place natives at the head of gov.
eminent institutions. The younger
sister of this gifted family, the first
girl to take the degree of bachelor
| of science in the Bombay university
is studying medicine in London, that
she may go back to India as medi.
cal missionary.
Miss Susie and Miss Lima Sorabii
conduct the four schools in Poonah
Of which their mother is head; the
former is here to plead for this work
The schools hold about 400 children;

there were room. There is the Viz
toria high school, the Hindu ragged
school, the Parsee school, the Mo-
hamrnedan school. These are for
both sexes; but it is to the little
girls of the Mohammcdan school, per-
haps, that these ladies' give their most
intense attention, for these, at q
very early age, are put Gin purdah, -
that is, yelled and clapped into a
zenana, whence they may not issue
forth. Two Bible women, nativs
Christians, follow up these children
and teach them in their homes. Dur
ing the famine Miss Sorabii did her
utmost for her stricken pupils, and
in her school are a number of fam
inc orphans. Besides her school
work, Miss Sorabji does great deal
Of evangelistic work in all the
churches. Then she has gathered
many children into band called
Little Volunteers" who hold month
ly meetings for Bible study in the
open air as we'll as in churches
branches of this organization have
been formed all over ndia.
Miss Sorabii's evangelistic work
among soldiers, which has resulted in
many conversions, began when, after
filing an engagement for q five min
utcs' talk, the red coats sent for
NAL request that she would speak
to them for an hour. BY invitation,
she has held evangelistic meetings at
Bangalore, Lanauli, and other places
as we'll as Poonah. At her farewell
meeting in Poonah nearly the whole
English garrison was present, and
when she asked for the hymn, "All
Hail the Power of Jesus Name" they
rose to a man and their mighty cho-
rus shook the house.
Miss Sorabji has become very pop
ular with American audiences. She
is a graceful, able, magnetic speaker,
using beautiful English, with her sub
ject so thoroughly at command that
she makes the story of Parsee, Mo-
hammedan and Hindu life and Gus
toms most charming and entertain
ing as we'll as deeply stirring theme.
With her soft, mclodious voice, and
her great dark eyes, this slender
little woman in Parsee dress is in
herself an interesting study, daugh-
ter as she is of the first Parsee con-
vert, who gave UP home, friends and
fortune to follow Christ. 1.-THE Par
sees will be fine Christians if they are
ever convcrted,' says Miss sorabji.
Little special missionary effort has
been directed toward bringing them
into the fold of Christ. "-Washington

No Trust in Montana.

Helena, Mont, May 1S.-Carl Rasch,
United States district attorney for
Montana, is response to instructions
from Attorney General Knox endeavor-
ed to secure affidavits and evidence
in support of the contention that there
is a beef trust, but has been unable
to do so, largely on account of the
short time between the receipt of the
instructions and the time limit plac-
ed upon the order.
The evidence was to have been for
warded to Washington not later than
May IS. but the district attorney. on
account of the press of other business,
did not have time to gather data. He
interviewed butchers and stockmen
and says he found no evidence of a
trust in Montana.

a British officer had looted relics from

safe keeping on account of the looters
he met at st. Pierre the day he was
there. After his return to Fort de
France he had an opportunity to catch
a steamer for st. Lucia and he went
by her. He had not time to turn the
relics over to the authorities here, but
he deposited them with the French
consul at Castries for transmission to
their rightful owners

statement.
