TO THE PUBLIC.
The Report Of the Armenian Relief
Committee.

The Report of the Armenian Relief
Committee,
At public meeting held In January
of the present year the undersigned
were appointed committee to raise
funds for the suffering Armenians, and
as the year is now approaching its
close, we think that the public are en-
titled to receive an account of our
stewardship
The total amount contributed to date
is $3,SS3SS. This was raised from the
following sources:
From churches Sl,O9S.9f
From mission circles .......,... 29,l3
From the Woman's Christian
Temperance union ............ 1926
From Sunday schools .......... 1915
From Miss Sibley's lecture 80. 16031
From individuals .....,......... 2,552H
Making total of ..............$S,S SSSS
All of this has been sent to Turkey,
the printing and other minor expenses
having been betrayed by special con-
tributions. Carefully and economical
ly expended, as this money has been by
the international committee, it has
done a great deal of good and has saw
ed hundreds of families from starva-
ton and suffering.
We are informed by the National Ar
menian relief committee in New York
that the need still continues, for though
there have been no massacres as ex-
tensive and outrageous as those which
first led to the appointment of this com
means ceased, and tens of thousands
of orphans, left by the victims of last
winters butchery, still remain to be
cared for. In view, however, Of the
very generous response to our appeal
and of the many other demands made
upon the charitable public of our city,
we do not consider it advisable for the
present Though we may later) to make
any general or renewed request for
contributions Anything that may be
sent to our treasurer, Mr.. Pierce N.
Welch, president of the First National
bank, will be, however, at once trans
mitted to the national committee.
Our attention has been called to the
arrival in the city of some thirty Ar
menians who have been driven out by
persecution. Though very poor, we I'M
derstand that they Do not wish to be-
come objects of charity, but desire to
earn their living in any honorable way
that is open to them. We think ii
proper, therefore, to announce that
Prof Lewis o. Rrastow, 12S Wall
street, would be very glad to be in
formed of any opportunities for work
which may be open to the six men and
two boys among them who are able to
work and have not been already pro-
vided for.

Elder Phelps Advice to the Modern
Church.

Christian Citizenship From a Bible Stand
point, was the subject of discourse at the
Wacouta street chapel last evening, discussed
by Elder Fl. F. Phelps. The theme of Chris
tan Citizenship is now prominently before
the American people, said Mr. Phelps and
1t would seem consistent at this time that
this pulpit should present the subject even
At the FISK or differing from others. The
Christian must be good citizen. He cannot
Wen be otherwise. But it is not the prime
object of Christianity to make good citizens
The gospel pertains to the next world: citi-
zenship to this. There are very MANY who
are not Christians who are good citizens and
re1Iglon Is not necessary to good citizenship.
The commission that Christ gave to His
church was: Co. preach the gospel The OBJ
1ect OF the gospel is to save men from sin.
civil government Is ordained to restrain men
from crime. The law of God defines sin: and
the gospel saves from sin. Civil government
cannot define sin: 1t cannot save from sin:
II cannot punish for sin; for the very reason
that sin reaches the thoughts and intents of
the heart Civil government can define
crime; restrain men from crime and NAV
punish for the commission of crime. Crime
is an onense against our fellow men, against
the state. Sin Is an offense against God The
state can only deal with secular matters bv
civil laws and those laws represent the
power of the state; they represent force for
all the power of the state is back of them
TO enforce obedience. But the Church of
Christ is to appeal to the power of the gospel.
which is the power Of God. The gospel Is
ordained to lift men out of sin unto saliva
ton, while civil government is ordained to
restrain the vile and the Vicious those who
will not accept the power Of the gospel The
gospel of Christ is persuasion: civil govern
ment. eompulsion. In all past ages when the
church has appealed to the power of COM
pulsion- she has debased her high and holy
calling and driven men, not to Christ. but
into inidelity. True Christianity being
matter of faith. and whatsoever is not of
faith being sin. as a matter of course when
the church drives men to the observance of
her institutions by force Of civil law, she
cempels men to sin. Employing force in mat
tiers of conscience is like continual Furnishing

Moresnet Boasts Military Force
Both Small and Efficient


Both Small and Efficient.
London Standard.
The smallest Independent state In
europe Is neither the principality of
Monaco, with it's population Of $4,000
souls, nor the republic of st. Martin
with Its 5000 inhabitants, nor that of
Andora, containing only 5000 citizens,
but Moresnet, with a population of
scarcely 1900 souls. Moresnet, which
is thoroughly autonomous, is situated
on the Germano-Belgian frontier, about
half way between Verviers and Aix-Ia-
Chapelle. 1t lies in a picturesque val
ley, watered by the little river Gueule.
How Moresnet has maintained it's in
dependence has just been explained to
French journalist by a Belgian min
lister in Paris. The commune of Mores-
net, as it existed under the empire
was, after the retreat of the French in
the early years Of the century, admin
istered exclusively by the Partisan au-
thorities until 1917. At that time it was
divided into three parts, in virtue of the
treaty of June 26, 1916 The principal
portion was annexed to Holland, an
other portion was annexed to Prussia,
and the third portion, situated between
the other two, formed the neutral terri
tory.
1t contained the calamine establish
ment of the Veille Montague, and the
Importance of that establishment
which now produces yearly some 25,000,-
COG Kilograms Of ore and furnishes
Europe with about so per cent Of the
zinc it employs, rendered it impossible
nRROtIQt0TS
understanding concerning that fraction
OF the frontier. 1t, indeed, seems I'M
likely that a decision concerning it will
be taken for a long time, as the gov
ernments of both Germany and Bel
GUM claim possession of the mines Of
the "old mountain" That is why that
piece of contested territory has, for the
last eighty years, preserved it's neutral
character and it's political indepen-
dence.
Prussia and Belgium have each
commissary whose duty it is to in
tervene in case of difficulties arising,
but that is a purely formal suzeranity
The Belgian representative is at the
present moment M. Bleytnesy, subpre-
feet Of Verviers, and that of Prussia
Counselor Gulcher. The supreme chief
of this minute republic is NJ Schmetz
who contents himself with the title Of
burgomaster, and has occupied that
post since 1884. The ideal taxation Of
about 6 francs per head, nevertheless,
suffices to provide a subvention for the
school and for the repairing of the
roads. Moresnet has one soldier, who
wears a splendid uniform, to preserve
order. AS there are no tribunals in the
territory, law cases have to be tried
alternately at Verviers and Aix-la-
Chapelle.

WORK FOR 10000
VIII Be Furnished by Resumption
of Iron Mills.

PITTSBURG, Pa, July 26-Tomorrow will
occur the beginning of the resumption of the
iron mills, which will soon put to work at
least 10000 idle men. 1t is estimated that at
least that number are interested in the set
tlement OF the wage scale with the Ohio man
ufacturerS at Youngstown Saturday night
The success of the amalgamated ASSOCIATION
in making the wage settlements means too
that the men employed in non-union mills
will get an advance in their wages and that
their employers will sign agreements to pay
them the union prices. This comes as near a
recognition of the union as the men are con-
tending for at the present time. The confer
ence was with the Ohio association. but
plants in several other states will be started
under the agreement.
The firms who signed the scale are as fol-
lows: Andrews Bros. & Co., Hazelton. O.:
Brown, BonnelI & Co., four plants at Youngs-
town, o.; Union Iron and Steel company. two
plants at Youngstown, one at Warren and
one at Girard; Mahoning Valley Iron COM
