Field Secretary of "Y"
Tells C. C. /. Students
of Conditions in Egypt

John Curry, field secretary OF the I.
NJ. C. A. spoke at Coburn Classical
Institute Tuesday morning on THE
Conditions in Egypt" Mr.. Curry came
here from Pittsfield. where he spoke
to the pupils of Maine Central Insti-
uate of Princeton University and since
then has been connected with Y. N. G..
A. work in the Orient.
He told of the terrible conditions un-
der which the people of Egypt and sur
roundings live. They are not acquaint-
ed with water and will not wash. They
are all Mohammedans and when a
Christian goes there to preach he is
in a very difficult position. He must
go to the ruler of the village and get
permission from the chief. The chief
meets visitors very cordially and en-
tertains them as is done in the Orient.
On entering the chiefs house there are
no chairs to sit Unjust make ones
self at home by sitting on the ground.
The chief can say a few words in Eng
lish and one manages to get along.
Before leaving his house he MAS his
servants get a drink for the visitors.
The servants pick up an old clay cup
ana. without washing IL, pourS out a
very black substance. The looks of 1t
would make one feel as though he
would be glad to get out of such an
ignorant land. After managing to
drink it and not dying. the chief bids
his party good day and lets them have
small shack. like hen house, to talk
to the children. 1t was fully as dirty
as hen house. with no windows or
foor-just small hole in the roof and
Eare ground.
The Mohammedan's conception of
God is hard to change. They believe
he is merciless creature in the sky.
They Will not listen to anything that
Pertains to God. Mohammed is their
only thought.
He told of the procession that is car
RED on when one of the village folk
passes away. A long line of women
comes down the street followed by a
line of men. The men sing funeral
song and balance the corpse on their
hands over their heads. The men wear
black wells over their heads and try to
sing.
Mr.. Curry visited the many different
places of interest in Egypt. such as
the Pyramids. Sphynx, and deserts.
These old forms of architecture built
many, many years. ago. are wonderful
and are worth seeing.
In closing, he said he would like to
have someone from this school repre-
sent the Y. NJ. c. A. in the foreign land
