The liquor business is a political ban dit. ready to violate any law, human or divine. that interferes with it's wor>- LiGuor kills more men every year than were killed on both sides during the whole four years of our civil war and is responsible for over eighty per cens Of the vice and crime everywhere The church ought to be united to save the state, Christianity and politics united can save the nation. Educa- ttonal qualification ought to be re uuired for the right to vote, without reference to sex, color or race.

The Good Tenplars have been working fer total abstinence for the Individual and constitutional prohibition for the state"
 Rev. Antranig Ashdarian. native Armenian convert through foreign mis- sion work. told of Christian work among his own people, and among the Turks.
 The greatest instrument for good is the Bible printed in the language Of the people. This is the true spiritual seed which produces the harvest of 1 souls. Over 100000 Armenians live in Constantinople. The American board of foreign missions began its work ii Asia minor. and gradually spread it ! Syria and other parts of the ] Empire. At first the Patriarch ! of the Armenian church favored the | at first, but dfterWaTd |, turned against them. and warned his 1 people not to listen to them. The il- | fuenCe of the Greek church of Russia | was also used to bring persecution upon ! the protestant missionaries and then ! converts. In spite Of this there arc 1 now 12j Christian churches, with more 1 than 30 OGO members. Through the firm 1 attitude of England most of the mis- were protected for time, but | the last outbreak of the Turks de stroyed a large part of their work. America ought to make her stars and stripes a protection tC her citizens everywhere, whether missionaries or not. The sultan yields to nothing but force. and he needs to feel that clearly if he does not do justice to Americans. SO long as they are only doing good to his people kODCrtS cOie5e IS uoiHS d grand work and mary Of it's graduates are filling some or the highest places in the em9ire.
