From Dr. R. S. Storrs, President of the American Board of Foreign Missions.
Your address to my congregation was admirable in its tone, and its entire impression upon those who heard it. Your knowledge of the facts presented is, of course, accurate and complete; and your method of presenting the facts is clear, impressive, and leaves the minds instructed and the hearts quickened.
From the Faculty of Chicago Theological Seminary.
This will introduce to you Rev. George H. Filian, a graduate of this Seminary, a man of true character and devotion. He has been obliged to suspend work for a time in Turkey, owing to his faithfulness in preaching the truth, and is recommended to the consideration of Christians throughout America.
By order of the Faculty, H. N. Scott, Secretary.
From Prof. G. B. Wilcox, D.D., Chicago Theological Seminary.
Rev. G. H. Filian, a graduate of this Seminary in 1882, and since pastor of Armenian Evangelical Church, Marsovan, Turkey, is lecturing on Turkish missions and Turkish manners and customs. He is an exceptionally able speaker, and may with all confidence be introduced by any pastor to his congregation. I speak from long and intimate acquaintance.
G. B. Wilcox.
From Rev. John H. Barrows, D.D., Pastor First Presbyterian Church.
Rev. Geo. H. Filian, of Syria, lectured on Constantinople to my people last night, greatly interesting them. His illustrations are excellent, and he speaks with great enthusiasm. The evening’s entertainment was very wholesome, and I cordially commend his worthy lecture. My people have heard him also with pleasure on “Social Life in Turkey.”
