The sunshine of Persia forms one of its greatest attractions.
The natives are very much alarmed when an eclipse of the sun
takes place, as they are afraid they are going to lose their
benefactor. A Persian gentleman once visited England, and on his
return to his native country was questioned by his friends as
to which was the better land to live in. His reply was to the
effect that in England the houses were grander, the scenery more
beautiful, but that there was no sunshine.
A worldly life may have more show, but the Christian life has more
shine. (Text.)
