Several were earnestly inquiring how to be
saved.

On Thursday, the day after their return to Memikan, Mr. Coan, Priest
Dunkha, Khamis, and Deacon John left for Central Koordistan, and
Deacon Isaac went to Kochannes. But though the laborers were fewer,
the number of visitors continued the same. Next Sabbath, besides two
services, and two meetings with the women in Memikan, there was
preaching in three other villages. In Chardewar, the home of Priest
Dunkha, Miss Fiske found his daughter, who had come with them from
Oroomiah, already full of work. She had just dismissed her Sabbath
school, and was reading the Bible with her cousin, the village
priest, who did all in his power to help her, both in her school
through the week, and her meetings with the women. One Sabbath,
almost every woman in the place had been present, as was the case
also when she was visited by Misses Fiske and Rice, and Sanum said
that she could not ask for a better place in which to work for
Christ. There was more of real hunger for the truth here than any
where else in the mountains.
