Women trained in the Christie
schools of Iran (Persia) seem to be
establishing the beginning of a
suffragist movement. The Y. M.
C. A. was organized in Teheran
largely for the benefit of the la^e
group of British nurses, serving
there, but now appears to be head
ing for the organiMtion of an as-
sociatim of Iranian women of
whom the leaders will be the alum
nae of the mission school. Among
the leaders of the movement are
a professor whose avocation is the
establishment of baby clinics in
Teheran and vicnity, and tte
daughter of a* former prime min
ister. The latter is a graduate of
the schools of the Presbyterian
Mission and is editor of a woman’s
magazine in Teheran.

So many educated women of In
dia, especially the Christian wom
en, have entered the Indian equiva
lent of the WAC’s of America that
the municipalities and the Christ
ian mission agencies are reporting
an acute shortage of teachers.
Many of the Christian women—
most of them not long out of the
“outcaste” population, some of
them recently out of "purdah
are now village visitants, assisting
the families of men in the serv
ices, reading and writing letters
for the illiterates, reporting ill
nesses, and looking after the gen
eral health and morale of the vU-
lagers. Four hundred women vil
lage workers met recently for con
sultation in Jullundar.
Growing out of the awakening
of underprivileged people the
world over, a by-product of war,
there ig a demand for Christian
literature in all parts of Africa,
especially from Dakar and the Iv
ory Coast, where such publication
must be in French, according to
Miss Margaret Wrong, of London,
secretary of the International
Committee for Christian Litera
ture for Africa. The so-caUed
"Laubach method" of instruction
in reading is being used in hun
dreds of mission stations — and
tcachii'.g many thousands to read.
Miss Wrong’s committee plans a
series of several hundred basic
readers, on a multitude of sub
jects of interest to village Afric
ans, each to be published in Eng
lish. French, Porteguese, and in
some of the more widely used Af
rican tongues. Already there are
,forty titles in the “African Home
"Library”, booklets selling for two ,
cents each. These booklets are be
ing read around African village!

In Missionary Work
Evangelist Charles A. Keys, Jr.,
reports that he has now over 1600
regular attendants of his evange
listic mission work, being carried
on entirely by faith in North Caro
lina, Virginia, and Tennessee.
The young evangelist, through
many trials and difficulties, has
been devoting all of his life to
evangelistic and home mission
work, devoting most of his time
in the neglected sections of the
mountains, and slum districts of
the cities, where he has found
hundreds without any religious
training at all. By faith in God
he has placed hundreds of Bibles
in homes without one, and also
gives the unlearned and neglected
people all the .assistance possible
to understand God’s word and the
way of salvation.
In this great Christian work he
states that homes are being made
happy, drunkards are being made
sober, dishonest men honest, and
men are learning to pray instead
of to swear. He has seen some of
the worst sinners In the country
saved under hir ministry in Evan
gelistic Missions work, and today
they are devoted Christians, living
a new life of Joy, iieace, and hap
piness in Christ that others who
are despondent and wrecked by
sin may find this wonderful re
deeming power of God.
At the present time the mission
services are being held in differ
ent parts of the city and county,
until the building now under con
struction Is completed, where the
evangelist will open "The North
Wilkesboro Evangelistic Center”
where regular services will be
held. The evangelist has received
contributions from many mer
chants and business men and
women of North Wilkesboro who
are interested ln*this work.
