them both. In the hands of such men as yourself the one would be used to restrain evil and the other to develop righteousness and goodwill to men.
This leads me to say that the Armenian situation in Turkey is so appalling in its awful cruelty and relentless extermination of that people that one could wish that such a power as the United Stated should become so strong on land and sea that such a government as Turkey would never dare to commit such a horrible crime. Would that your influence could be exerted in some way to stay the spoiler and rescue the miserable remnant. By spring, if present conditions continue, they will be as the people of Moab, as described in Is. 16:14, "and the remnant shall be very small and of no account."
Yours very sincerely,
Wm. N. Chambers

My dear Mr. Chambers:
I have your letter of December tenth and have read it with the greatest interest. I am heartily glad to learn that you are safely out of Turkey and thank you sincerely for the personal part of your letter.
The situation with regard to the Armenians is indeed nothing less than appalling. You may be sure that we have been doing everything that is diplomatically possible to check the terrible business.
In haste, with much regard,
Sincerely yours,
Rev. Willien H. Charders, Box 221, Chatham, New Jersey
