Stops cholera into the Turkish
cholera city in Van over the route
Travelled centuries before
by Zenophon and his ten thousand The
disease spread rapidly. for its progress
was greatly facilitated by the water
supply that came from a nearby noun
tain and ran through the streets In
open ducts. The population Of the city
was equally divided between NOLAN
medans and Armenian Christians. The
missionaries knew that cholera entered
the body only through the mouth, and
that the microbes might be destroyed
by high temperature; they determined
accordingly to persuade the people to
boil their food and drink. and sterilize
their cooking utensils. The Mohammc-
dams were impervious to advice; they
declared hat inasmuch as Allah had
written upon every mans forehead the
precise moment and manner of his
death. II was both useless and bias
phemous to try 10 thwart his will by
infidcl precautions. The Armcnians.
while not equally tstalistic. showed
like their contemporaries I'm New York,
the Indifference born OF ignorance. 1t
was only when people began to die by
the hundred that the fear of death
stirred their lethargy. Then they turn
ed to their priest. Hovsep Nartabed, for
help. Now when the missionaries had
asked Hovscp Nartabed to explain to
his congregation the nature Of cholera
he had replied that the lives Of the peo-
pie were in the hands Of the women
who prepared the food, and that they
were too ignorant 20 comprehend the
difference between a germ and a noun
tain-lion. But the ingenius priest had
resources OF his own. He gathered his
flock into the great Armenian church.
and when they were packed as close a.
they could sit upon the floor he put on
his flowing clerical robes, mounted the
pulpit. and shaking his long, bony ing-
or, began to haranguc them as follows:
Have ! not told you, miserable sim

duties. God would surely punish you?
Behold, He has permitted the water o.

thus TO turn II to account He knew
there was fine material in that young
man, capacity and ability both but he
needed peculiar help at Just this time

charities were many, his public spirit
was unquestioned, and such opportun-
tiles for good as come in his way he
seemed amply TO fulhl. But he also
knew that To stand face TO face with
a soul, and aid IL at its most need. is
rare privilege, and he was making
that privilege good. And he took no
high ground. He did not, seemingly
admit the full significance of the mo-
inent. He did not further shake the
young mans will by implying that there
was great moral strain; no. he dwelt,
rather upon painted cloth OF physi-
cal and mental monotony, in order To-
give the young fellow time To- regain
breath and grip and courage. Yes, it's

OF our weakness, and the weakness Of
