THE CRY OF ARMENIA. !
DR. TALMAGE PREACHES OF
SULTAN'S OPPRESSION.
The Chief Men of the Nation LI ten to
Hear the Celebrated Divine on the ;
Greatest Crime of All Aes Monroe
Doctrine.
ASHINGTON, D.
C, Jan. 12, 1896. It
was appropriate
that in the presence
of the chief men of
this nation and
other nations, Dr.
Talmage should tell
the story of Ar
menian massacre.
What will be the
extent for good of
uch a discourse none can tell. The text
was. 2. Kings 19: 37: "They escaped
Into the land of Armenia."
In Bible geography this is the first
time that Armenia appears, called then
by the same name as now. Armenia
is chiefly a table-land, seven thousand
feet above the level of the sea, and on
one of its peaks Noah's ark landed, with
Its human family and fauna that were
to fill the earth. That region was the
birth-place of the rivers which fer
tilized the Garden of Eden when Adam
and Eve lived there, their only roof
the crystal skies, and their carpet the
emerald of rich grass. Its inhabitants,
the ethnologists tell us, are a superior
type of the Caucasian race. Their re
ligion is founded on the llible. Their
Saviour is our Christ. Their crime is
that they would not become followers
of Mahomet, that Jupiter of sensuality.
To drive them from the face of the
earth is the ambition of the Mohamme
dans. To accomplish this, murder is
no crime, and wholesale massacre is a
matter of enthusiastic approbation and
governmental reward. The prayer sanc
tioned by highest Mohammedan au
thority, and recited every day through
out Turkey and Egypt, while styling
all those not Mohammedans as infidels,
Is as follows: "O Lord of all creatures'.
0 Allah! Destroy the Infidels and Poly
theists, thine enemies, the enemies of
the religion! O Allah! Make their
children orphans and defile their
bodies: cause their feet to slip: give
them and their families, their house
holds and their women, their children,
end their relatives by marriage, their
brothers and their friends, their pos
sessions and the race, their wealth and
their lands as booty to the Moslems, O
Lord of all creatures!" The life of an
Armenian in the presence of those who
make that prayer is of no more value
than the life of a summer insect. The
Sultan of Turkey sits on a throne im
personating that brigandage and as
sassination. At this time all civilized
nations are in horror at the attempts
of that Mohammedan government to
destroy all the Christians of Armenia.
1 hear somebody talking as though
gome new thing were happening, and
that the Turkish government had taken
a new role of tragedy on the stage of
nations. No, no! She Is at the same old
business. Overlooking her diabolism
of other centuries, we come down to our
century to find that in 1S22 the Turkish
government slew 50.000 anti-Moslems,
and in 1S50 she slew 10.000. and in 1S60
fhe slew 11,000, and in 1S76 she slew
i0,000. Anything short of the slaughter
of thousands of human beings does not
put enough red wine into her cup of
abomination to make it worth quaffing.
Nor is this the only time she has prom
ised reform. In the presence of the
warships at the mouth of the Darda
nelles, she ha3 promised the civilized
nations of the earth that she would
stop her butcheries, and the interna
tional and hemispheric farce has been
enacted of believing what she says,
when all the past ought to persuade us
that she Is only pausing in her atroci
ties to put nations off the track and
then resume the work of death. In 1820
Turkey, In treaty with Russia,
promised to alleviate the condition of
Christians, but the promise was broken.
In 1S39 the then Sultan promised pro
tection of life and property without
reference to religion, and the promise
was broken. In 1844, at the demand of
an English minister plenipotentiary,
the Sultan declared, after the public
execution of an Armenian at Constan
tinople, that no such death penalty
should again be inflicted, and the
promise was broken. In 1850; at the
demand of foreign nations, the Turk
ish government promised protection to
Protestants, but to this day the Pro
testants at Stamboul are not allowed to
build a church, although they have the
funds ready, and the Greek Protestants,
who have a church, are not permitted
to worship in it. In 1856. after the
Crimean war, Turky promised that no
one should be hindered in the exercise
of the religion he professed, and that
promise has been broken. In 1878, at
the memorable treaty of Berlin. Turkey
pomised religious liberty to all her
subjects rn every part of the Ottoman
empire, and the promise was broken.
Not once in all the centuries has the
Turkish government kept her promise
of mercy. So far from any improve
ment, the condition of the Armenians
has become worse and worse year by
year, and all the promises the Turkish
government now makes are only a
gaining of time by which she Is making
preparation for the complete extermi
nation of Christianity from her borders.
Why, after all the national and con
tinental and hemispheric lying on the
part of the Turkish govenment, do not
the warships of Europe ride up as close
as Is possible to the palaces of Constan
tinople and blow that accursed govern
ment to atoms? In the name of the
Eternal God, let the nuisance of the
ages be wiped off the face of the earth!
Down to the perdition from which It
smoked up, sink Mohammedanism! Be
tween these outbreaks of massacre the
u.jawrrv
Armenians suffer In silence wrongs that
are seldom if ever reported. They are
taxed heavily for the mere privilege of
living, and the tax is called "the hu
miliation tax." They are compelled to
give three days' entertainment to any
Mohammedan tramp who may be pass
ing that way. They must pay blackmail
to the assessor, lest he report the value
of their property too highly. Their
evidence in court is of no worth, and If
fifty Armenians saw a wrong commit
ted and one Mohammedan was present,
the testimony of the one Mohammedan
would be taken and the testimony of
the fifty Armenians rejected; in other
words, the solemn oath of a thousand
Armenians would not be strong enough
to overthrow the perjury of one Moham
medan. A professor was condemned to
death for translating the English Book
of Common Prayer Into Turkish. Sev
enteen Armenians were sentenced to
fifteen years' Imprisonment for rescu
ing a Christian bride fom the bandits.
This Is the way the Turkish govern
ment amuses itself in time of peace.
These are the delights of Turkish civili
zation. But when the days of massacre
come, then deeds are done which may
not be unveiled In any refined assem
blage, and if one speaks of the horrors,
he must do so in well-poised and cau
tious vocabulary. Hundreds of villages
destroyed! Young men put In piles of
brushwood, which are then saturated
with kerosene and set oh fire! Mothers,
in the most solemn hour that ever
come3 In a woman's life, hurled out
and bayonetted! Eyes gouged out, and
dead and dying hurled Into the same
pit! The slaughter of Lucknow and
Cawnpore, India, in 1S57, eclipsed in
ghastliness! The worst scenes of the
French revolution in Paris made more
tolerable in contrast! In many regions
of Armenia the only undertakers to
day are the jackals and hyenas. Many
of the chiefs of. the massacres were
pent straight from Constantinople to do
their work, and having returned, were
decorated by the Sultan. To four of
the worst murderers the Sultan sent
silk banners, in delicate appreciation
of their services. Five hundred thou
sand Armenians put to death or dying
of starvation! This moment, while I
speak, all up and down Armenia sit
many people, freezing in the ashes of
their destroyed homes, bereft of most
of their households, and awaiting the
club of assassination to put them out
of their misery. No wonder that the
physicians of that region declared that
among all the men and women that
were down with wounds and sickness
and under their care, not one wanted
to get well. Remember that nearly
all the reports that have come to us of
the Turkish outages have been manipu
lated and modified and softened by the
Turks themselves. The story is not
half told, or a hundredth part told, or
a thousandth part told. None but God
and our suffering brothers and sisters
in that far-off land know the whole
story, and it will not be known until,
in the coronations of heaven, Christ
shall lift to a special throne of glory
these heroes and heroines, saying,
"These are they who came out of great
tribulation and had their robes washed
and made wx?Ue in the blood of the
Lamb!" My ' Lord and my God! thou
didst on the cross suffer for them, but
thou, surely, Oh Christ! wilt not for
get how much they have suffered for
thee! I dare not deal in imprecation,
but I never so much enjoyed the im
precatory songs of David as since I
have heard how those Turks are treat
ing the Armenians. The fact is Turkey
has got to be divided up among other
nations. Of course the European na
tions must take the chief part, but
Turkey ought to be compelled to pay
America for the American mission
buildings and American school-houses
she has destroyed, and to support the
wives and children of the Americans
ruined by this wholesale butchery.
When the English lion and the Russian
bear put their paws on that Turkey the
American eagle ought to put in its bill.
But what is the duty of the hour?
Sympathy, deep, wide, tremendous, im
mediate! A religious paper. The Chris
tian Herald, of New York, has led the
way with munificent contributions col
lected from its subscribers. But the
Turkish government is opposed to any
relief of the Armenian sufferers, as I
personally know. Last August, before
I had any idea of becoming a fellow
citizen with you Washingtonians, $50.
000 for Armenian relief was offered to
me if I would personally take that re
lief to Armenia. My passage was to
be engaged on the City of Paris, but
a telegram was sent to Constantinople,
asking if the Turkish government
would grant me protection on such an
errand of mercy. A cablegram saiu
the Turkish government wished to
know to what points in Armenia I de
sired to go with that relief. In our
reply, four cities were named, one of
them the scene of what had been the
chief masascre. A cablegram came
from Constantinople saying that I had
better send the money to the Turkish
government's mixed commission, and
they would distribute It. So a cobweb
of spiders proposed a relief committee
for unfortunate flies! Well, a man who
would start up through the mountains
of Armenia with $50,000 and no govern
ment protection would be guilty of
monumental foolhardiness. The Tur
kish government has in every possible
way hindered Armenian relief. Now
where is that angel of mercy, Clara
Barton, who appeared on the battle
fields of Fredericksburg, Antietam,
Falmouth, and Cedar Mountain, and
under the blaze of French and German
guns at Metz and Paris and in Johns
town floods, and Charleston earth
quake, and Michigan fires, and Rus
sian famine? It was comparatively of
little Importance that the German em
peror decorated her with the Iron
Cross, for God hath decorated her in
the sight of all nations with a glory
that neither time nor eternity can dim.
Bern In a Masaschusetts vl age she
came in her girlhood to this city to
serve our government In the patent of
fice, but afterward went forth from
the doors of that Patent Office,
with a Divine patent signed and
sealed by God himself, to heal all the
wounds she could touch, and make the
horrors of the Hood, and fire, and
plague, and hospital fly her presence.
God bless Clara Barton! Just as I ex
pected, she lifts the banner of the Red
Cross. Turkey and all nations are
pledged to respect and defend that Red
Cross, although that color of cross does
not, in the opinion of many, stand for
Christianity. In my opinion it .does
stand for Christlanlay, for was not the
cross under which most of us worship
red with the blood of the son of God, red
with the best blood that was ever shed,
red with the blood poured out for the
ransom of the world? Then lead on,
oh, Red Cross! and let Clara Barton
carry It! The Turkish government is
bound to protect her, and the chariots
of God are twenty thousand, and their i
Charioteers are angels Of deliverance,
. . ,,, . .it n.n at nnna I
and they would all ride do n at once I
to roll over and trample under the ;
hnnfs of their white horses any of her
assailants. May the five hundred thou- j
sand dollars she seeks be laid at her ,
feet! Then may. the ships that carry j
Atlanfin and Mediterranean
seas De gUiaeu saieiy oy mm wuu iruu ,
into sapphire pavement bestormed t
Galilee! Upon soil incarnadined with
martyrdom let the Red Cross be plant
ed, until every demolished village shall
be rebuildcd, and every pang of hunger
be fed, and every wound of cruelty be
healed, and Armenia stand with as
much liberty to serve God in its own
way as In this, the bost land of all the
earth, we, the descendants of the Purl-
tono anA llnllriTiHora and I In cnpnnt s. I
are free to worship the Christ who came !
to set all nations free! j
It has been said that if we go over I
there to interfere on another continent, .
that will implv the right for other na-
. 'f .i(K ...
tions to interfere with affairs on this I
'
continent, and so the Monroe doctrine J
be jeopardized. No, no! President j
Cleveland expressed the sentiment of
every intelligent and patriotic Ameri
can when he thundered from the White
House a warning to all nations, that
there is not an acre or one Inch more
of ground on this continent for any j
transatlantic government to occupy.
And by that doctrine we stand now and ;
, . , . . I
shall forever stand. But there is a doc- ,
Uluc aa luuvu ui5uri luau ilic uuiii vj v .
doctrine as the heavens are higher that,
the earth, and that is the doctrine o'l
humanitarianism and sympathy and
Christian helpfulness which one cold
December midnight, with loud and mul
titudinous chant, awakened the shep
herds. Wherever there is a wound it is
our duty, whether as Individuals or as
nations, to balsaf it. Wherever there is
a knife of assassination lifted it is our
duty to ward off the blade. Wherever
men are persecuted for their religion
it is our duty to break that arm of
power, whether It be thrust forth from
a Potestant church or a Catholic ca
thedral or a Jewish synagogue or a
mosque of Islam. We all recognize the
right on a small scale. If going downj
the road, we nnd a runian maltreating
a child, or a human brute Insulting a
woman, we take a hand in the contest
if we are not cowards, and though we
be slight in personal presence, because
of our indignation we come to weigh
about tons, and the harder we punish
the villain the louder our conscience
applauds us. In such case we do not
keep our hands in our pockets, arguing
that if we interfere with the brute the
brute might think he would have a
right to interfere with us, and so
jeopardize the Monroe doctrine. The
fact is that that persecution of the
Armenians by the Turks must be
stopped, or God Almighty will curse
all Christendom for its damnable in
difference and apathy.
ODDS AND ENDS.
At the Odeon theater In Paris 600
manuscript plays are received and read
every year.
A man named Durand has won a bet
at Marseilles by standing on a pedestal
in a public place for four consecutive
weeks. He was nearly exhausted after
the performance and may not recover.
Poet's corner in Westminster abboy
is hidden from the outside by a block
of old houses. These are to be torn
down next summer as a precaution
against fire, thus allowing the archi
tecture of the chapel of Henry VII.
and the old Chapter house to be seen
from that side.
"L.a Princesse Lointaine." a four-act
play in verse by M. Rostaud, Is the lat
est novelty produced by Sarah Bern
hardt at the Paris Renaissance theater.
It is founded on the story of the
troubadour, Geffroy Rudel, who fell in
love with the princess of Tripoli from
the fame of her beauty and died on
coming into her presence.
A Frenchman must still obtain the
consent of his parents if he wishes to
marry. The chamber of deputies has
rejected a proposal of Abbe Lemire to
dispense with the consent when the
man is 25 and the woman 21, but passed
another doing" away with the necessity
for the grandparents' consent when the
parents are dead.
M. Dieulafoy, the explorer of Persia,
has carefully examined the valley of
Rephaim, south of Jerusalem, where
David crushed the Philistines. He finds
that the bible account of the battle is
p.ccnrate and that David's tactics show
the highest military capacity and were
like those of Frederick the Great at
Mollwltz and Rossback and of Napo
leon at Austerlitz.
A shaft into the bowels of the earth
Is proposed by M. Paschal Grousset as
the sensation for the exposition of 1900.
His plan Is an inversion of the Idea of
the Eiffel tower. Elevators will carry
the public down the shaft. At inter

UR LESSON FOR
today Includes some
important events in
the life of John the
Baptist and his Mas
ter. The time vari
ously established
about 23 A. D. The
happenings recorded
took place at and
about Nazareth in
(lalilee. the home
of Jesus' youth and
early manhood. The
Redeemer was now

istry. John the Baptist had Just
been put in prison at Castle Maclierus
bV Herod. Jusus now bejjan to surround
hfmself wIth tlisciples. They came from
au directions, from Pagan Rome, Athens
and Armenia. The wonderful preaching
of Jesus was Irresistible. The full text
of today's lesson is as follows:
14. And Jesus returned in tne power oi
the Spirit into Galilee: and there went
out a fame of him through all the region
I roundabout.
15. And he taught in their synagogues.
being glorified of all.
16. And he came to Nazareth, where he
had been brought up. And. as his custom
was. he went into the synagogue on the
sabbath-day. and stood up for to read.
17. And there was delivered unto him
the book of the prophet Esalas. And when
he had opened the book, he tounu ine
place where It was written.
I IS. The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
i because he hath anointed me to preach
I the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me
to lical the broken-hearted, to preach de-
livcrancc to the eantives. and recovering

AnJ he closeil the book, and he
pave it again to the minister, and sat
down. And the eyes of all them that
were in the synagogue were fastened on

21. And he began to say unto them,
This day is the Scripture fulfilled in your
ear
22. And all bare him witness, and won
dered at the prracious words which pro
ceeded out of his mouth. And they said,
Is not this Joseph's son?
The necessary explanations of today's
I tpt nre n? follows:
u v.And Jesus retUrned," from Judea
where he had spent nearly a year, to his
own country. On his way he held his
conversations with the woman of Samaria
at Jacob.s wel, (John 4). i the power
ui lilt: ?iuii, luiij
under the influence
of the spirit which descended upon him
after his baptism. "There went a ramry
a report of his doings. Immediately after
his entrance into Galilee he healed at
Cana, the nobleman's son in Capernaum
(John 4: 43-5-1). Doubtless he performed
many more unrecorded miracles. In a
land where there was so much need and
so little help the reports of his wonder
ful works of healing and of his teaching,
so different from what they were accus
tomed to. spread like wildfire through
those populous districts. "He taught."
He had a double-work. He taught the
truth, and he illustrated his teachings by
miracles of healing and help. One ex
ample is given in the verses which follow.
His subject was "Repent, for the Kingdom
of Heaven is at Hand." "In their syna-
gogues," their places of religious meet
; ing and instruction something like a com
I bination of our churches and schools.
' These were found everywhere.
19. "To preach (herald, the sam faa the'
second 'preach in verse IS) the accept
able year of the Lord." The year or era
in which God has been pleased, for the
best of reasons, to bring these blessings
to the people. God's chosen opportunity
had come. The allusion is, no doubt, to
the great year of jubilee, every fiftieth
year (fcev.. 25: 8-17). This was the great
year of the Jews, full of unnumbered
blessings. The Jewish captives were all
set free; to those who by reason of poverty
had been compelled to sell their home
stead the family landed property was
now restored. This was a glorious type
of what Jesus does for men, giving rest
and liberty, and restoring the homestead
of the soul, all that the soul was created
to be and to enjoy.
20. "And he closed the book": or rolled
up the roll. Notice how the quotation
stops when it comes to the fearful sen
tence, "and the day of vengeance of our
God." The time for that had not yet
come. If they believed and obeyed. It
would never come. When they rejected
him, then they would see that awful day
of retribution written over the sky, like
the mene tekel tipharsin blazing on the
walls of Belshazzar's palace. "And gave
it to the minister": the attendant, who
would put the roll back into its place.
"And sat down." It was the custom to
stand while reading, but to sit when
preaching, so his sitting down was the
signal that he was about to speak.
21. This day is this scripture fulfilled."
This prophecy was originally spoken to
the exiles In Babylon. They were poor,
oppressed, broken-hearted, away from
home, blind to the goodness and promises
of God. Then the prophets cam'e with
glorious promises and Invitations: visions
of hope, of a new kingdom, of a pros
perous nation, of a time when "Gentiles
should come to their light and kings to
the brightness of their rising," "when the
waste places should break forth into joy,
and sing together."
Now Jesus says, those prophecies, ful
filled in a measure to your fathers, are
to have a larger and more glorious ful
fillment. The time has come. I myself
am the Messiah through whom these
promises shall be realized.
22. "And all bare him witness": by the
expression of the countenance, by the at
titude of listening-; perhaps by favoring:
words, and, doubtless, afterwards In con
versation about the marvelous preacher.
"And wondered at the gracious words":
gracious both in what was said and in
the manner of saying it. His words were
full of "grace and truth." "Is this not
Joseph's son?" To some this made his
gracious words more wonderful. To
others, and to the majority, it seemed
impossible and absurd that the son of
this obscure family, a carpenter who has
made furniture for their houses, a man
brought up in a common way, without
education, without rank, without wealth
or office that he should be the great Mes
siah, the king of the Jews. Here began
that opposition which grew with the
months and years till it culminated in his
crucifixion.

Parker's linger Tonic
Of the many gxod things to. be found i
in American homes, we do no believe
that any are held in higher esteem, or
have done better service than Parker's
Ginger Tonic. It has grown to be a
household necessity and is serviceable
in almost every case where there is
weakness and infirmity. There are
forms of female debility that make life
a burden. The same is true of persist
ent coughs and colds, and distressing1
stomach and nervous ills. They have
held hirh revel in many homes until
banished by Parker's (iinger Tonic and
we are proud of the record that has
made so many hearts grateful.
