Reverend Neff Addresses Assembly

Reverend Neff Addresses Assembly.
The high school was. honored last
Friday by an address from Reverend
Thaddeus Neff, who spoke interesting
~ on the affairs and customs of Egypt
and India. Rev. Neff has been in Egypt
since 1928, as one who is trying to bet
ter the conditions of the poorer class
of people.
Rev Neff spoke of Mohammedanism
the political parties, and the different
languages, He pointed out that 90 per
cent of the people are very poor, and
the other 10 per cent constitute the
parliament. He said that Mahatma
Gandi had tried to break down the
very strong caste system, but that he
had not succeeded. and his influence
was weakening,
As long as people are. kept in ig-
norance naturally they will be faithful,
superstitious. but | believe the way 10
enlighten the Mohammedan is to shake
his faith IN his religion--that is my ex-
perience, having been among them for
many years. find the young men,
the students from the high schools, have
no faith in Mohammedanism 1t is
plain that the great need of these pep-
pie is education said Rev Neff.
After many entertaining illustrations
Of customs of Egypt and India, Rev.
Neff closed his address by reciting some
Egyptian poems, and sang an Egyptian
song.
