These people are certainly interesting as they are perverts from Christianity in the days when Islam was dominant in that region. They speak the same language as their Orthodox associates, with whom they are connected by ties of blood relationship. They know that their fathers were Christians and that Islam is to them a foreign religion forced upon them by a conquering race, the language of which they do not understand nor care to understand. They are now wholly surrounded by people of their own race who are Christians and they are under a Christian Government. Their Moslem training, however, has given them a distaste for the spectacular form of worship which they see in the Orthodox churches and they are ready to examine the claims of a simpler form of worship.— Ed.]
