ton we find an Interesting and poetical
short story illustrated by an oriental ar
fist, in Teheran. from suggestions made
by MorteZa, Khan. The story, translated
as follows, is called The Best Of Flow
ers':
"One day boy named Jaffa was walk
ing in the garden of his home, and COM

before the bush whereon it grew and said
TO his sisters. who stood near by: See
how beautiful is the red rose. Do you
think that any flower in all the world can
compare with this red rose?'
"One of his sisters, Roshanake by name,
replied:
"'Oh. my brother, do you think so? See
these white flowers of Miriam-the white
star of Mary. the mother of Christ. Are
these not comparable with the red rose ?
To me this flower of Miriam is the most
beautiful of all. and all. how heavenly

The first two volumes containing these
simple parallels and prayers for the chill
dren by Morteza, Khan, were printed in
Teheran several years ago. but have just
been ordered to be used universally in the
schools OF Persia. The remaining four
voiumes are now ready for the press.
The minister of Persia writes each year
an especial poem to celebrate the Per-
sian new year, as has been the custom of
the Persian poets for the last 5000 years
This Persian New Year is the first
day of spring, March 81, and is the old
Persian New Year. not the Moham-

and education, your first duty is to know
your Creator, He who gave We life and
nourishment and strength and under
standing. Ye cannot know providence
unless ye follow the way of the prophets
This way and this path Is shown by the
priests. They show you how to respect
and to love thy father and thy mother
and all thy relatives: to hold the fear of
God in thy hearts, and never TO escape
from them that do give to thee fatherly
advice for thy welfare. At least twice a
day shouldst thou address such a prayer
TO God: o. my God. | thank Thee a thou
sand times for that Thou hast given me
eyes in order that | may see the differ
ence between the good and the bad; that
Thou hast given me ears that | may be
able to understand the good advice of my
father and my mother and my teacher:
that Thou hast given me a tongue that l
may praise Thee and Thy benevolence.
Now, oh, my God. I beg Thee to tighten
my heart with Thy love and by Thy
knowledge during my life. and give me to
drink from that spring at the source of
the sweet waters of education in order
that may be released from obscurity and
ignorance.
The prayer thus composed by Morteza
Khan. a Mohammedan, and sent broad
cast throughout Persia is an example of
the trust and true worship these people
feel for the Creator.
