II the powers Of Europe step in and

BE- true cause for thanksgiving round the
globe. The riots in Armenia appear to
be growing more serious. The truth ap-
psrently Is that the porte could not IL it
would protect the Armenian Christians,
aud save the missionary buildings, where
In these Christians have been taught, be-
cause the religious war in eastern Turkey
has gone beyond the control of the Con-
stantinople government. 1t is charged
that the assaults upon and massacres of
Christians have been inspired and encour-
aged from Constantinople, but it seems
improbable that even the Turk could be
guilty Of such folly. The Springfield Re.
publican, In commenting on the situation
in Turkey, says: ST we had hsd dozen
wnr ships at the nearest seaport to Har-
poot, the missionary buildings at the lat
ter place would have been burned as
quickly, and our missionaries there
would be in exactly the same danger
they are now In. There are French war
ships In the Levant, and British ships at
Salonica, and Great Britain and France
have Joined in threatening the porte with
practical destruction IL 1t does not stop
the outrages in Armenia, but French
priests have been killed, and British sub
iects also, and the property of mission
aries from both countries has been de-
stroyed.n

Rev DIR Samuel Francis Smith, whose
hymn "America" gave him national
fame, died in the New England railroad
station at Boston on Saturday. Two
years ago DIR Smith gave an account OF
how he came to write his hymn. Early
In the '3O's w. c. Woodbridge went to Eu-
rope to examine the Prussian school sys-
TEN, and being struck with the attention
paid to the singing of the children, he
brought back number Of singing books,
which he gave to Lowell Mason, then
teaching Sunday school children at the
Park street and Bowdoin street churches
In Boston. Mason was a friend of Smith,
then an Andover student, and turned
them over to him, to translate the songs
or make his own verses to the music, SO
that Mason might use them. Said DR.
Smith "One dismal afternoon in Febru-
airy, 1882, about half hour before sum
set, found the tune Of "God Save the
King" though did not know that;

hymn IL Reproduced here:
