Land of the Lion and the Sun, Personal Experiences, the Nations of Persia, Their Customs (Classic Reprint)

The purpose of this book is not merely to set forth the conditions of Persia, though it includes the social characteristics of the people, the religious beliefs of the Eastern churches which to many of you are perhaps but little known, the ecclesiastical customs, and the nations of Persia in general. But its object is to encourage the missionary spirit; to quicken and kindle anew the fires of divine love in the hearts of all to whom this book may come; to spread the blessed Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ; to hasten the day when millions that now sit in darkness and the shadow of death may turn their faces toward the light. I hope no Christian will fail to give serious and sympathetic attention to my efforts in spreading the Gospel among my countrymen the Mohammedans. The profits of this book and all funds sent to the author will be used for the purpose of erecting a school building, purchasing a printing press, an organ, and other useful things suitable for a Christian mission, and for the spreading of the Gospel in Persia.
