Presbyterian Church Notes Highlight Miss Murray of Persia
Last Sunday at the Presbyterian church Miss Murray of Persia spoke twice. In the morning she recounted missionary work with human interest. In the evening she showed pictures of Persian cities and landscapes and noted mud walls hidden behind white marble facades and the pervasive odor of the East. She was formerly Dean of Women at an Illinois college before six years in Persia. Next Sunday promises a Happy Sunday Evening with music, prayer, a sermon, and an invitation to attend.
