recent massacres and are dated December g.
Regarding the awful conditions that prevail in
Armenia, D.. Hekimyar says:
From the 18th to the 18th of November was a sad
and gloomy tine for us. While the Armenian
business on November 13, great crowds OF Mussu-
man Turks began 10 gather. All were armed from
head to foot. After finishing their usual midday
prayer they suddenly fell upon the detenceless
Armenians. and with great barbarty killed every
one they met. We were fortunate TO escape
through their midst while they were engaged in
great difficulty managed to get home II is be-
yond my power to describe the awful atrocities
which were committed in those three days. There
was complete anarchy. After many ArmenanS
had been killed part Of the mob. by special order
overran the Armenian market.

Father Burke urged all To partake Of

will See His own blood In their veins
and will invite them to come to the
kingdom of His father. The congrega-
