Greek and Armenian Churches
within It's dominious, nothing Is
more remarkable than the amount
OF spirit shown By the PatriarChs Of
both cGmmuni8ns. For nearly four
centuries the Greek Patriarch has
been the subtle tool and nominee Of
hi- Mu-lem masters, 50 that his
anxiety % DO what was required Of
him stood ia the strongest contrast
o. tine stauUch loyalty of The people
u their faith. Even i'm our Own
times his conduct has been such as
made IL painful to rec0llect that he

John Knox, that che never feared

u7triarch talks back 10 the MOslvm
government as though he were the
master Of the situation; and his very
resignation at a critical moment was
a more courageous act than we
had thought him capable Of. Prob
ably the Greeks regard ;he days Of
