He had invited the Mamelukes to eat salt with him, and he treacherously attacked and butchered them in the citadel of Cairo in cold blood. One alone escaped; he took a desperate leap over the battlements, his horse was killed on the spot, and he alone, of between 400 and 500, survived to tell the story of the massacre of his fellows.

Download or read book Sarah and her Sisters written by Robert D. Stoddard, Jr. and published by Hachette Antoine . This book was released on 2020-06-18 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When newly married Sarah Smith arrived in Beirut in 1834, she was appalled by the ignorance and ill treatment of Arab women and girls. Well educated for her times, she was not content just to keep house for her missionary husband. Rather, having taught Mohegan Indians in Connecticut, she, in her two remaining years, opened a small school for girls that began the transformation of education for Arab females. Sarah’s pioneering venture inspired a series of Protestant “sisters,” married and single, to follow in her wake as missionary teachers. Leaving loved ones and the comforts of home behind, they crossed two perilous seas, learned Arabic, and against great odds continued her work in elementary and then secondary and higher education. Sarah’s posthumous memoir was widely read. But the stories of her “sisters” were little known—until now. Here, they are linked in an extraordinary chain of educational achievements despite religious strife, civil war, epidemics, famine, isolation and finally a world war, pandemic and global depression. Regrettably, many “sisters,” like Sarah, paid the ultimate price and were buried abroad. As long as any girls anywhere are denied an education, these stories can inspire teachers of girls and advocates for female education worldwide to persevere. And hopefully coeds at Lebanese American University will be inspired and motivated to excel knowing that your university goes back to Mrs. Smith’s Beirut Female School and that you are the direct beneficiaries of Sarah and her sisters.

Download or read book Fifty Three Years in Syria Volume II written by Henry Harris Jessup and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2020-12-01 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of this volume is One of the pioneers of the new historic era and the changing social order in the Nearer East. He is entitled to this distinction not because of direct political activity, or of any strenuous role as a social reformer, but because of those fifty-three years of missionary service in the interests of religious uplift, educational progress, social morality, and all those civilizing influences which now by general consent are recognized results of the missionary enterprise. It is a chronicle of eventful years in the history of Western Asia. It is necessarily largely personal, as the book is a combination of autobiographical reminiscence with a somewhat detailed record of mission progress in Syria. No one can fail to be impressed with the variety and continuity, as well as the large beneficence of a life service such as is herein reviewed. In versatile and responsible toil, in fidelity to his high commission, in diligence in the use of opportunity, in unwavering loyalty to the call of missionary duty, his career has been worthy of the admiration and affectionate regard of the Church. The writer of this introduction regards it as one of the privileges of his missionary service in Syria that for twenty-two of the fifty-three years which the record covers he was a colleague of the author, and that such a delightful intimacy has marked a lifelong friendship. Dr. Jessup has been a living witness of one of the most vivid and dramatic national transformations which the world's annals record, as well as himself a contributor, indirectly and unconsciously perhaps, yet no less truly and forcefully, to changes as romantic, weird, and startling as the stage of history presents. We seem to be in the enchanted atmosphere of politics after the order of the Arabian Nights. In fact, no tale of the Thousand and One Nights can surpass in Imaginative power, mystical import, and amazing significance, this story of the transportation of an entire empire, as if upon some magic carpet of breathless flight, from the domain of irresponsible tyranny to the realm of constitutional government. The cruel and shocking episode of massacre in transit seems to be in keeping with the ruthless barbarity of the despotic environment.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Inner Life of Syria, Palestine, and the Holy Land, Vol. 2 of 2: From My Private Journal About twelve o'clock at night on the eve of the wedding, a long procession of female relatives, friends, and slaves, wound into the large hall where we, the invited, all sat around the walls. Every woman in the procession bore branches of lights. The bride was in the middle, supported as'usual on either side. She was a beautiful girl of about fifteen or sixteen; her magnificent chest nut hair swept in two great tresses below her waist, knotted and studded with pearls. She was dressed in velvet, coaleur sang de boeuf, encrusted with diamonds and pearls. She wore a velvet fez, also half hidden by precious stones; diamond stars were glued to either cheek, the chin, and forehead, and they were rather in the way of our kissing her, for they scratched the face. She was a determined, spirited-looking girl, as well as beautiful, and she had been crying bitterly because she did not want to be married. She had never seen the happy man; she doated upon her father, and she was happy at home. She used to ride as well as any man, Turkish fashion, in izar with veiled face, and I suppose she thought that this tiresome marriage would spoil all her girlish frolics. She came in with the procession, and sat on the divan, receiving all our congratulations, looking rather like a naughty child that would like to scream and kick.
