The Egis, now a missionary In Per-
sia should prove Of interest TO all who
have foreign missions at heart. Mr..
Miller was one Of the most brilliant
men In college, q sensational athlete,
and natural leader Of all classes Of
young men:
Meshed, Persia.
My dear John:
Perhaps you remember that when |
wrote my last letter In October 1921
| | was In the little town Of Sistan $50
miles south Of here waiting to meet
DR.. II. Il. Speer and accompany him to
Meshed. And you can imagine my
disappointment when word came that
DR.. Speer had decided to enter Persia
via Baghdad and that would have to
make this long journey alonei And
so ! made my plans to leave on Nov
| 10Th.
II seemed that the eight months we
had spent In Sistan had produced no
results, and went about my packing
| with u heavy heart. But camel dri-
vers and muleteers managed TO delay
my departure till November 23id, try
| as | might TO get away, and In these
eight days wonderful thing happen
ed. A young man who had been an
earnest inquirer came and begged No
