came in urging me to stay over
for a few days, and If not, to be
sure to return to them. From
Momegan we went to Dukargan.
The rain came down pretty hard
as we were crossing the noun
tam, but the sun was shining
when we reached the village. 1t
was market day there and we had
to come directly through the
market so that great crowd fol
lowed us. We had difficulty in
finding a place, but finally secur
ed a vacant house with a nice
garden. We renamed there over
the Sabbath. Sabbath morning
some women came to see me and
took me to their house where |
had chance to read and talk to
them. In the afternoon more
women came, but not as many as
| would like to have seen. These
women had never heard the gos'
pei, so they said, and think it
was true, because l seemed Sc
very strange to them, and until
their curiosity was somewhat
satisfied 1t was hard for them to
listen.
Our next stop was at Govgan.
/ had no work here. We stop
ped at a caravansarai. Return
ing from Maragha we stopped at
this place and / had chance to
talk with some women who be-
longed to the place. They invlt
ed me TO come TO them.
Our next day was a hard one
"a miles on horseback. We
reached Sheshawan about 5
O'Clock very tired. We rode up
to the house where Mr.. P. always
stops, but much to our dismay
the woman of the house would
not let US In, nor would they send
after the man of the house. 1t
had been two years since Mr.. Z.
had been there and, in the mean
while, the man had taken to him
self a new wife and she did not
know US. We had about given
up getting in when the man OF
the house came along and let us
IN. was too tired to talk any
that night, but the next morning
had a good talk with some wo-
women. We are hoping to 90
back there sometime soon and
stay some days. Now we come
to our last day out; we left She
shawan at about $50 for our last
day before reaching Maragha
This road takes US along Lake
Urumla; it grew to be very hot
altho late IN October and the
gnats bothered my horse a gooc
deal; so much so, that after shak
ing himself quite hard, much t.
my surprise I felt my horse g
down and l going over his head
when l heard the gentle voice o
my husband saying "stay OF
Lucille, stay on" After balanc-
ing on the pommel Of my saddle
for a few seconds decided tt
stay on, and with the help of th'
horse who was rising to his fee
l slid back into my saddle.
We reached Maragha at tel
time about 4:30. 1t seemed hk,
getting home to getlnto our help
er's house. Everything was s,
clean and the tea so refreshing
and then later came the first goo'
, meal we had had for seven days
In Maragha 1 spent my tim
among the Armenlans, receivln!
, a cordial welcome everywhere
: but did not have the real splrltu
al work should like to have had
. nor did l get out among the Mos
lens as should like to have done
1t is something, however, to ge
! acquainted, and then l can know
better just what to do next time.
The roads were so unsafe W
could not go beyond Maragha, S
after 16 days in Maragha, we re
E turned home. AS we were CON
