Missionary Work In Persia

Mary G. Vanneman has received a let
ter from her nephew, DR.. w. S. Vanne-
man, medical missionary at Tabriz, Per-
STA, dated January 5, 1918, in which he
SAYS:
[ have just bought Al acres of ground
for $500 on which to build a hospital for
men and women. 1t is in the suburbs of
the city and is now covered with aim ond
trees. We need about $15, 900 more for
building. 1 do not believe the building
will be erected this year as the money
will not be ready.
1t is much more difficult to buy prop
erty here than in America, as there is 80
much dickering. 1t took about two
months to buy this land after we had de-
cided.
We had a pleasant Christmas. The ell
tire mission and the Consul took dinner
and supper with US. There were fifteen
adults and no children. We have no
children in the mission now. All ha We
gone to America and none will return.
We are expecting a surgeon and his wife
soon. They plan to sail from New York
the latter part of this month. l do no
have time to do surgical work. We are
very well and very busy.
