eral Assembly of the Southern church.
He possessed liberal education and left
his impress upon the literature of
his day.
His life was one o. purity and God

agreement for simultaneous publication IN ST

Grey the British Foreign Secretary, in which II
Is pointed out that the arrangement respecting
Persia is limited TO the regions Of that country
contiguous to the frontiers Of Great Britain and
Russia in Asia and the Persian Cuff is not
a part of these regions. It is therefore not con-

Rritain's special interests in the Gulf, which
are an outcome of British action in those
waters for more than hundred years
The Foreign Secretary adds that his majesty $
government will continue its direct efforts for
the preservation OF the status quo and the
maintenance of British trade on the Persian
Gulf but 1t does not desire to exclude the leglti-
mate trade of any other power.
