TIME TO ACT IN ARMENIA.
THE REV MR. DIXON URGES ACTION BY THE
CHRISTIAN NATIONS.

THE REV. MIR. DIXON URGES ACTION BY THE
CHRISTIAN NATIONS
The Rev Thomas Dixon. jr., in his prelude to MS
regular sermon az the Academy Of Music yesterday,
spoke about Armenia and the killing or the Ar
menians by the Turks. He said the history OF Ar
menia as a Christian nation began in $40 A. ID
THE history OF that country, he said. is the
blacklist page in the story OF modern civilization
We see the horrible spectacle Of thousands Of faith
full followers Of the Cross outraged and slain By
the fanatical followers OF Mahomet. and snail We
Christians calmly view the massacre or our Fellow
Christians because they are Christians The time
has come for the Christian nations or the world 10
act Turkey must be dismembered and the Turk
must be driven from Europe. Christianity demands
this The reason this has not been done before
now is that the nations OF Europe hate each other
more than they love their brother In religion. But
the nation that does not heed the great necessity
thai now appeals TO them from Armenia will be
found wanting by the judgment of its own people
The Judgment OF the next generation Will crush
such a government that falls short In It's duty.
There is new force arising upon the scene
and this power will sweep away the governments
that stand in the way OF solidarity or religion and
the brotherhood OF man
