Geotleman being an assidous worker in the gospel of Jesus Christ and intimate friend of the Bethlehem Church came over to give us his last farewell sermon before he should leave for his native home Jamaica 1: He preached the mid day sermon and was taken from Mark chapter 9, verses 50, Have salt in yourselves.
He, in a most laudable and explanaítary ma explained the mean.

CHURCH SERVICES Press despateh, states that in Jerusalem the revolution that has taken place in the customs of Islamic countries is spreading. Not only does Afghanistan under the influence of the recent European tour of its ruler purpose following Mustapha Kemal example by allowing western customs to replace many of the timehonored Moslem practices but Persia, too, seems bent on following in the footsteps of the Ghuzi.
This is of special significance because the empire of Shah Pahlavi is the greatest Meslem state to lay that is free of all foreign control.
Just now, in view of the far reaching reform proposals to be submitted to Parliament during its next sion, the Persian press is devot ng much attention to the problem of woman emancipation. It may be said that public interest in this movement has greatly increased. The general opinion is that the time las come for woman to be accorded the rights and privileges to which the dignity of her position entitles her.
In Teheran this new conviction al.
ready said to have been putartially into practial effect; it is reported that women there are now permitted to attend public perfonances in the theaters and to visit the cinemas and restaurants. libert tes that previously no one weld have dared even consider, Such a decided step has been taken on the road to progress that Persian women may even go about in closed motor cars. It seems hard to understand why hitherto this should have been prohibited, for women always have been free to ride on donkeys or mules, notwithstanding the fact that thereby they were exposed to the publie gaze in their veiled beauty, the animals in question provided no closed tonnenu.
The new liberal tendency which aims at freeing women of many petty Oriental restrictions and giving to them the freedom of civilization, on the other hand, requires compliance with certain demands. General opinion inclines to the belief that women should prove herself worthy of her new rights and privileges by making it her business to acquire more knowledge of the art of housekeeping than she row possesses. Her scant knowledee of this art is partly responsible for her teek of popularity at least from the point of view of matrimonyamong her fellow countrymen.
Nine out of every ten propestive Persian brides have not the slightest notion of household affairscertainly not those of the upper classes. It seems not quite logical, however, that in connection with the emancipation movement the men should insist on this blissful ignorance being done away with.
It looks as if the coming session of the Medjlis will have some interesting debates.
