This leads me to say that the Armenian situation in Turkey 1
is so appalling in its awful cruelty and Telentless 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 govern-

the spoiler and rescue the miserable remnant. By spring, if present conditions continue, they will be as the people of Moab, as described in 1s. 16:14, rand the remnant shall be very small and
of no account. Yours very sincerely,
Mr N. Chmbes
