[The Women of the Arabs by Henry Harris Jessup]@TWC D-Link bookThe Women of the Arabs CHAPTER III 19/20
She has not forgotten the example and instructions of Dr.and Mrs.De Forest, and speaks of them with enthusiastic interest.
Her husband failed in business some years ago, and she is in a constant struggle with want, but her old friends and loving sisters, Raheel and Lulu, who are among her nearest neighbors, are unremitting in their kind attentions to her. What a difference between the faithful Christian nurture her little children are receiving at home, and the worse than no training received by the children of her Druze relatives at Ras Beirut, who are still under the shadow of their old superstitions.
She never curses her children nor invokes the wrath of God upon them.
She is never beaten and spit upon and tortured and threatened with death by her husband.
It is worth much to have rescued a Khozma and an Abla from the degradation of Druze superstition! These two good women, with Abdullah in Beirut, and Hassan, Hassein, Asaad and Ali, in Lebanon, are among the living witnesses to the preciousness of the love of Christ, who have come forth from the Druze community.
