REV. YONAN'S LECiURE
lie Contrasts Christian and Heathen
Conditions and Pleads for llelp to
Benighted l7ands;
As announcedr Rev. Yonan, thel
native Persian, lectured at-the First
Prcabyterian church Wednesday
night. Many haye heard him be
fore, and they gladly hear him .at
any time.
He is a most earnest advocate of
ihe Christian religion. He con
tresis its fruits witti those of Mo
hammedanism in his native land.
He showed that man is by very
instinct a religious bting. He has
a sense of v superior being,- a god
and a hereafter. The false religs
ions lead to the greatest sacrifices
and Taodily tortures to expiate'
sense of guilt and appease the wrath
of the god he enly sterns to know
exist?.
Heathendom, said the lecturer, is
an enemy to the mind or intellect
and the body as well as the soul. He
dwelt forcibly on the need of the
care for the body as a preliminary
to that of the soul. 'Th9 body is
the temple of the Holy Ghost, and
as created for the honor and glory
3t God, but heathendom made no
previsions for its development and
culture. Doctors, said he, are
greatly needed .
He depicted the effects of heath
endom in cities. There ia no clean
liness where there ia . no godliness .
Sanitation is unknown and the
Tot".
CONOORIV N. C.
fi1th? stcnch the cities
is more
than refined, ncntnla can bear. It
breeds disease, end when epidemics
come the people die anywhere, even
falling over ech other in the fitreeta.
The Epeaker was enthusiastic in
hia praise of Ohriatian nations, es
pecially of America, that when diss
ease of an epidemic nature comes
the victims are tenderly cared for
and the" disease ia subdued with
sanitation, so unlike hia na'ive
country, where the victim is un
cared for and the disease is un
checked till it runs its course.
There are more, blind people m
Persia, said he, than anywhere else.
There is no conception of the care
of children's eyes and the attempts
at treating the eyes, like the few at
tempts to cure the sick, only result
in the more certain destruction.
Woman, said the speaker, is kept
I in the moat abject ignorance and
dishonor. The customs forbid a
Christian physician from seeing a
man'a wife even to give her treat
ment, and she is unvisited and uns
consoled by her husband or neigh
bora. Rather she is brutally re
proached and charged with not being
sick.
Persia and Turkey, ea'd the
speaker, are the only two absolute
monarchies.. People here, 8iid he,
know nothing about what a mons
arcby is. They are the nurseries
of ignorance. There are no schooh
except fox the priests. Indeed ig
norance is the only soil in which an
absolute monarchy can grow. An
absolute monarchy ia an impossi
bility where Christian intelligence
exists. Here the speaker paused to
give a few examples of what such
government produces. He had him'
self seen human beings eating grass
as browsing beasts for want of some
thing better on which to satisfy
hunger. Officials live in luxury
and licentiousness and tax the peo
ple out of everything. If a man
wears a new neat coat he is looked
upon as. thriving, and he is made the
victim of official exactions. A. man
received a demand for tax. He
went to the governor and plead that
if he so!d everything it would still
leave much of the bill unpaid. Said
the potentate, then sell your chil
dren too, so that the tax is paid.
Being more courageous than moat
men he pressed his way to the moh
arch and finally got an order to be
treated with mercy. This order he
presented to the goyernor, whereupon
this governor, admired his courage
very much, and presuming that he
had a very large heart ordered hia
executioner to ehow him that man's
heart. The executioner cut it out
of course and carried it to the govs
ernor, who kept it for a day to look
upon i ' 1 '
Such ia monarchial goyernment.
The world needs doctors, said he,
to care for and develop the body,
8chcols to develop the mind, politics
to prbduce good government, and
above all, it needs Christ to save the
soul. The speaker appealed to the
people of our "Christian land in be
half of benighted, depraved per
ishing huminity.
The speaker is r6al iy interesting.
Hia speech demonatrates that it
takea more than1 a "knowledge of a
language to adopt its idiom or mas
ter its articulaticlnut by training:
the ear a little while his words are
accurately 'enougii caught and hia-.
thought is fully comprehended;
The simplicity of his faith ia in
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER
spiring and his zjal gives promise of
great good in the cause. One feel?
the anxiety to have many natives to
send who enjoy pecaliar advantages
for the wrk among the heathen.
