In the morning our sister went out, as usual, to make her market and then befel us what befel from bringing the Porter into the house and admitting these three Kalandar men., We entreated them kindly and honourably and a quarter of the night had not passed ere three grave and respectable merchants from Mosul joined us and told us their adventures.
I found the heat very oppressive, but in other respects was very well, especially as regards my appetite: I believe that I could have eaten every hour of the day. Probably this was in consequence of the hard diet which I had been obliged to endure on my journey. The principal thing worth seeing at Mosul is the palace, about half a mile from the town.
After awhile, I said to him, "Tell me thy story." "O physician of the age," answered he, "hear what befell me.

Many of the Mosulians were thought to have come under evangelical influences.

The missionaries frequently travel hundreds of miles to them in order to preach to the people. Tradition says that the country about Erivan is that part of the earth which was first of all peopled.
This is the first study of the first Nestorian pastor, and is likely to introduce a new idea into the minds of Nestorian ecclesiastics in regard to their appropriate calling." Among the interesting converts was deacon Jeremiah, who came with Messrs. Perkins and Stocking from Mosul. He was formerly in a papal monastery near Elkoosh.
A chapel for public worship was fitted up, and here, as also at Beirût, there was preaching every Sabbath in the Arabic language, with an interesting Sabbath-school between the services.
