 Those who remained in the village trusted for safety in the church think ing this was strong and the Turks could not enter. But what an awful sight! The Turks, seeing that they could not force the door set the church on fire. The crowd inside, see ing that. they could not get out, threw themselves from the lofty roof to the ground. A mother who had gone to the church for safety with her four children threw her children down from the roof first that they might be freed from the agony of burning and afterwards leap- ed down herself Another woman whose child was a month old and was wrapped in swaddling clothes. first threw down the child and then herself. But by the care Of our Heavenly Fla ther most Of these were saved. Those who remained in the church were burn ed to death. Only a few houses re- mained in the village.
