RUSSIAN REVOLUTION
MAY TEACH PERSIANS
Missionary Sees Relief From Mobam-

Bloodshed

One result of the revolution in Russia.
said a speaker at n luncheon of Presby-
terian mission workers in Scottish Rite Hall
today, would be the freeing of Persians
from the yoke of Mohammedanism and
their adoption Of Christianity, He does
not expect this to be accomplished at one
step. but it will surely come, he said.
The speaker was the Rev. F. G.. Coan.
who has been doing missionary work in
Persia. He said that many of the Per-
slams had long since been ready to en-
brace the Christian faith. but had feared
to do so openly. The revolution in Russia
Mr. Coan said will show them that the
people are strong enough to do what they
will If they only act in concert. He does
not look for any revolt or political up
heaval; the missionaries have taught the
Persians better than to shed blood. Mr.
Coan said but he does look for strength
on their part to declare openly their belief
in the Christian faith.
There were about $50 at the luncheon
