THE ORPHANS OF THE ARMENIAN
MASSAORES.

One of the saddest results of the
massacres in Armenia is the helpless
ness of thousands of orphaned children.
some of whom have lost both parents
by death, and others whose fathers have
given up their lives and whose mothers
have been CARED into captivity by the
"unspeakable Turk"
From the district of Silvan, near Diar,
comes the following report of their con.
dition:
I'm our going about among the villa
ges, we saw girls, not few. who had
returned from the hands of their cap
tors, weeping bitterly. shrieking and
crying. Our fathers and mothers
have been killed and we are become
Migrants. What shall we do; whittier
shall we go; to whom shall we turn
for protection? Alas!' The writer
continues: "How pitiable. how hard
and bitter such lot, especially for
girls in their weakness, bodily, mentally,
morally, spiritually. With my loudest
voice | beg you to find some relief for
them. We have already found great
many such; they can easily be brought
away and are anxious to be delivered at
the earliest possible moment. Wherever
we see them. they are imploring. crying
out and begging for deliverance. There
are also many children in most pitia-
BILE condition. There are many things
even worse than what l have mentioned
that have not time to write"
From Malatia one Of the Relief Com
mittees writes: "There are between
$500 and 5000 orphans here. The
greater part of them have mothers liv-
ing, as not many women are killed.
About 1900 were killed and they were

happiness. God has severity for
those who sin, and men call his atti-
tude toward them "anger." His pun
ishments seem as consuming fire.
We are alarmed and afraid.
But what does the fire of the Lord
consumed John the Baptist declared
that Jesus would burn up the chaff
with unquenchable fire. But the
chaff was no longer useful to the
wheat. The wheat should be gath
cred into the garner. Malachi pro-
phesied that Jesus would come as
refner's fire and as a fuller's soap.
But these would destroy neither the
metal nor the garment but remove
what is offensive. Paul told the
Corinthians that every man should
be tried in the fire, but the fire
would consume only the hay, wood
and stubble.-Q. Cor. iii, II, 49, The
gold, silver and precious stones
would abide. To overcome evil with
good is to heap Goals of fire on the
head. But it is the fire of love and
not of hate. The Bible emphatically
declares that God is love. Equally
does it say that he is a consuming
fire. What beautiful harmony we
create with the two together and say,
"God is consuming fire of love-" He
will destroy all things inimical to
the happiness of his children and
thus wipe away all tears from their
faces. How beautiful is that Scrip
ture which saith, "For thou, o
God, hast proved us. Thou hast
tried us as silver is tried. y 4
We went through fire and through
water; but thou broughtest us out
into a wealthy place" Yes, after
the fire, "Instead of the thorn shall
come up the fir tree, and instead of
the brier shall come up the myrtle
tree. And it shall be to the Lord for
a name, for an everlasting sign that
shall not be cut off,"
