From the testimonials of prominent clergymen, authors, and secretaries
of Y.M.C.A.'s, the following few are selected.
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."
From the Department Secretary Y.M.C.A. of Chicago, Illinois.
Rev. Geo. H. Filian delivered before one of our meetings his
interesting lecture on "Missions in Turkey." I have never heard a
speaker more interesting, and that held the attention of the audience
in a greater measure than Mr. Filian. He is intelligent upon such
a subject. He is versatile in expression, enthusiastic in delivery,
and certainly very devout in heart.
Daniel Sloan.
From the Secretary in charge Central Building, Y.M.C.A., Brooklyn, N.Y.
Rev. Geo. H. Filian gave his stereopticon lecture on "Constantinople"
before our young men last night, and I am pleased to say that it is
a lecture of rare interest and enjoyment. The views are beautiful and
very instructive, as they are rarely thrown upon a screen. Mr. Filian
has the advantage of speaking from actual experience, and his eloquent
words, devoted spirit, and fund of humor quickly win the attention
and sympathy of any audience.
Arthur B. Wood.
From Rev. Henry Van Dyke, D.D., Pastor of the Brick Church, New York.
Your lecture before our Young Men's Society on Monday was a decided
success. Every one was interested in what you had to say, and the
pictures were excellent. We shall be glad when the time comes to have
you with us again.
From Rev. George M. Stone, D.D., Hartford.
Mr. Filian is thoroughly intelligent on the whole Eastern question,
and gives a view of Armenia and its present trial which is exceedingly
valuable.
From A. C. Dixon, D.D., Pastor Hanson Place Baptist Church, Brooklyn,
N.Y.
Rev. George H. Filian has lectured twice in the Hanson Place Baptist
church, and it gives me pleasure to say that his lectures are
interesting and instructive. They stir the heart to work and pray
for the relief of persecuted Armenia.
From Louis Albert Banks, D.D., Pastor of Hanson Place M. E. Church,
Brooklyn, N.Y.
I take great pleasure in saying that the Rev. Geo. H. Filian, who has
spoken from the platform at Hanson Place M. E. church in behalf of the
Armenian Christians, and also lectured in our church on Constantinople,
is a very eloquent and earnest speaker, who will attract attention
and arouse interest anywhere.
