MISSIONARY TOURING IN KOORDISTAN. BY REV. JOHN K. BROWNE, OF HARPOOT. AFTER three weeks of evangelistic services in the quaint old mediæval city of Diarbekir, Miss Bush and myself started for a tour through some of the towns of Koordistan. Our exit from Diarbekir was still more beautiful than the entrance. The narrow street in which is the pastor's house was lined on either side with people watching our departure. For a long distance there was hardly room left for our impatient animals. Once out of those narrow, dark streets and the confining walls, our eyes feasted on the green of the gardens and the beautiful wild flowers. We crossed the Roman bridge over the Tigris, shown in the engraving on the next page, and rode over the rolling country beyond, wandering constantly over a velvety green carpet, and turning back often to see the strange Oriental city, with its superb surroundings, fade out of sight. The day's journey was a succession of fair scenes. The hills everywhere were covered with flocks. Villages were frequent, and we noticed the extensive dove-cotes a means of prosperity for whole villages also multitudes of storks' nests so low down in the trees, or on ruins, that children playing on the roofs might look down into them. We counted thirty-three around one village! Our night's resting-place was at the big house of a Koordish Beg, on a hill, where we had a magnificent view. At the foot of the hill was a great caravan encamped for the night, with donkeys, mules, horses, and camels, and one tiny, white, baby camel. At first we were refused shelter, but the Beg's steward finally came and invited us in, and we were royally cared for. We were interested in a stork's nest on the corner of the roof of our house, and the Koords were as much interested in our horses and saddles, gathering in crowds to view the new-comers. A sumptuous repast was provided for us. As the barley of the village was exhausted, the head man literally unearthed a store of it, packed down and covered with earth and straw to keep through the winter. The next half-day's ride brought us to Kilise, formerly a comfortable and prosperous village, now with hardly a habitable house. The village was wholly Protestant, but the preacher and chief man were killed and our chapel and school, shown on a following page, were almost ruined. But a great field of fragrant jonquils just above the village make it a garden of sweetness and beauty. Approaching Farkin, some girls eagerly ran ahead to give news of our coming, and we had a warm welcome. One house on the city wall reminded us of Rahab's. It was the parsonage, where our good preacher, Bedros, lives, and soon Hohannes, the preacher at Kilise, came |
