Of the Congregational church last even
ing, Miss Coriuna Shattuck, who for
twenty-seven years has been a missionary
in Armenia, Asiatic Turkey, gave an &C
count of the work that is being done
among the 1900 widows and 5000 or
phans left in the Armenian massacre of
1895. At the time of the massacre Miss
Shattuck was the only foreign mission
airy in Oorfa, and for nine months it was
impossible to send anyone to her. Oorfa
is not far from the Garden of Eden and
Mt Ararat and is the country over
which Abraham, Isaac and Jacob walked.
Here" said Miss Shattuck, near the
birthplace of the human race and of au-
thentic history, after 1000 years, we are
sending missionaries to again teach the
Bible. Sixty years ago when the mis-
sionaries first went to Turkey, they eX
pected to work among the Mohammedans
of Turkey, but they found that their first
work must be among the nominal Chris
tans of Armenia. The result of the
massacre has been to develop the highest
and best in the character of these Arme-
MAN Christians, it is yet one of the most
terrible and sad chapters in the history
Of the world" Miss Shattuck expects to
return to her work in August.
