the New York Times publishes this Wig
orous appeal in behalf of the only Chris
tan people that have had the courage to
attack. single-handed, the unspeakable
Turk:
Arise, O mighty Europe, and vindicate
| your right
To bear the name Of Christendom, to
boast you guard the light;
For while the Cross is dragged to dust
you sit supinely by,
And turn your careless eyes aside while
maid and matron die,
Alas! if you are too debased to see your
duty plain,
If martyrs duplicating hands most
/ stretch to you in vain,
When noble Helllas strives, alone,
Christ's people to make free,
At least-if you will help her motor
/ Christ's sake let her be.

! aLast Sunday We published the two
i most popular poems of John Hay, the
new minister to England. At the Chris
tiani Endeavor meeting here at Wash
imgton, not long ago he wrote the invoca-
ton hymn. He is an earnest Christian,
and the reading of this hymn may give
some idea of his character:
INVOCATION.
Lord. from far-severed clinics we come
To meet at last in Thee, our home.
Thou hast been our guide and guard
Be still our hope, our rich reward.
Defends us, Lord, from every i'll:
Strengthen our hearts to do Thy will:
In all we plan and all we do
Still keep us TO Thy service true.
o let us hear the inspiring word
Which they of old at Horeb heard,
Breathe &c our hearts the high command
Go onward and possess the land"
Thou who art light shine on each soul.
Thou who art truth each mind control.
Open our eyes and make us see
The path which leads to heaven and
Thee.
