Writing from Konia, January 15, Dr. Dodd sends in the following about an
old Moslem priest:
“An old Turkish hodja named Saduk Effendi called today and said he came
for the special purpose of asking me to give his thanks to the people
in America who are sending help to the poor here. I report his words as
near as I can do so. ‘May the Lord of the Universe, the God of all men,
who are all of one family on this earth, look graciously upon those who
have shown such love and kindness. The servants of God here will always
remember and rejoice in these good deeds. How wonderful that a people
that were only savages four hundred years ago should have awakened to
such noble deeds! When shall we have such an awakening?’”
