and intention of warm sympathy for
a bleeding nation.
Today as you rejoice, We people of
the United States, free men of what
ever condition, unined in the glad
gatherings of the home, think, I pray
you, once of Arrnenia's ruins drencned
in the blood of her, slaughtered child
rem; think once of the horror still
crushing the heart of the psople that
remain, and when you realize that it
is possible for you TO help deliver
them, I know you viii do this little
work on a glad day, heartily.
ssAs to God, in the name of the hor-
ror-stricken women in Armenia, 1 ap-
peal to the women and wives of Amer
lea, and through them ITO the sons and
brothers of their love, for if they will
cali, this vote will be cast and Shake
the world to an everlasting glory to
the womanhood of America.
To All Ministers.
In the name of the martyred Chris
tan church of Armenia, / appeal to all
ministers of the gospel and members
of all church and Christian organiZa-
lions to help swell the vote. The num-
Der of cents will count the vote and will
roll over the continent OF Europe, a
mighty wave of scathing condemnation
enlightened age, and on the swelling
tide of this nations thanksgiving there
will peal forth such an anthem of hope
as will be message to fainting Ar
menia, that the spirit of liberty upon
earth is not dead, but is living in the
bosom of the American people. Added
to the stupendous power of that vote
will be the creation of national Ar
menian fund. 1t will be life blood of

Armenia.
Europe and America.
Europe has no regard for Armenia,
because she has no armament except
the sanctity of the home and the brave
hearts of her men and women. America
recognizes no mightier armament than
that. I ask you to declare that to the
world by accepting the bonds of Ar
menia. I pledge to you the honor of a
nation of 1000 years honest. toilsome
life, that Armenia will redeem her
bonds, to keep them in eternal memory
of a glorious day when mighty nation
stretched forth a gentle hand and lifted
up in her arms trampled and bleeding
sister to shelter her from threatened
death.
I'VE ask for a cent, a dime, or a
check as a Thanksgiving day vote of
adherence of the nassacres and of
sympathy for afflicted Armenia. 1t can
be sent to the Security bank, Minneapo-
lis, Mimi, Western National bank, New
York City; Wells, Fargo & Co, San
Francisco.
Remind Others to do likewise. OH
is it not a little to do on a thank
thrilled day for SO royal a service in a
cause of justice for the oppressed ?
Send card with your name, and men
ton the amount to the secretary, Min
neapolis, and we will keep it in the
annals of our new life for thousand
years to come.
ITO the editors of America, I appeal

test against foul murder and horrible

reader will cast a burning vote.
81 invoke the rich blessing of heaven
upon the press of America.
