Religious Aspect Foremost
in War in Near East
Cause of Both Christians and Jews Involved in Present
Military Struggle

Optimism has not been killed by
the war. for there are some far-seeing
Christian leaders who are predicting,
since the center of military interest
has shifted to Bible lands, that a new
spirit of Christian solidarity. IL not
actual church union, is being rapidly
fostered in America and Europe by
the focusing of Christians attention
upon the fidelity and suffering of
branches of the Church whose very
existence was but dimly known to
most western church members a year
ago.
Back to the land of their faiths
beginnings the thoughts of Christians
are being carried by newspaper cable
grams and articles in the religious
press, and, all unexpectedly. they are
acquiring a new knowledge of and a
new zeal for the historic Church which
comprehends all classiffcations of be-
lievera
The prosecutions which these Chris
tians OF the Near East are now suffer-
ing at the hands OF the Moslems are
appealing to the deepest springs of
universal religious sympathy. Prot
estant and Catholic find themselves
In unity" as the Friends say, with
these sufferers for the Cross and the
Name who belong to the ancient Nes-
torian. Gregorian, Coptic and Syriac
Orthodox and Roman Catholic bodies.
"FfendiShf Treatment of Christians
Within the past few days private
advtces have come from Americans In
Constantinople to the effect that the
present condition of Christians in GER
tain parts of the Ottoman empire is
worse than 1t has ever been. This cor
respondent declares that the Wholesale
removal of large sections of Christians
from their homes is being carried out
in way that is nothing less than
fieEdish." The massacres of 1896 and
of 1908 are pale in comparison with
what is now going on at Van, Mardin
and farther east"
The writer intimates that the prac-
teal determination of the Armenians
is seriously contemplated in high
Quarters. For it must be remembered
that all good Moslems are now sup
posed to be engaged in holy war"
While this "jihad" has failed in all
its larger political aspects. it is none
the less bearing fruit in persecution
and massacre of Christians in iso-
lated communities. as this column pre-
dicted at the time.
In all this the effect is discernible
that "the blood of { , martyrs" is be-
coming the seed of the Church" For
the peculiarly sensitive religious mood
of this day is grasping as never before

faith and cause. Humanity may look
for such manifestations of worldwide
Christian unity as have not heretofore
come into the imaginations of any but
the most advanced thinkers. This
unity will be sentimental and spiritual,
rather than ecclesiastical In II the
Greek Catholic will share with the
Roman Catholic. the Greek Orthodox
with the Protestant, the Coptic with
the Gregorian, the Svriac with the
Chaldean. the Maronite with the Nes-
torian, and the churches OF the Far
East with the churches of Europe and
America.

There is something dramatic about
the way In which the tides of the
time, political and military, as we'll as
religious, are turning back to the an
Client centers of thought, in Bible
lands. 1t is as IL the race were being
carried back to the scene OF the earli-
est revelations of one Supreme God
to learn anew the lesson of earth s
duty to heaven.
In the new emergence of Bible
lands as the center of Civilizations s
latest and profoundest interest many
earnest Bible students see clear full
filment of scriptural prophecy: and
premillenarians freely predict the
return of Christ at Jerusalem.
At the outbreak of the war thought
ful persons were startled at what
might be called q clash of deities, for
every nation called upon God as IL
He were a national idol, to be pro-
duced in emergency as part of the
nations military equipment. Each of
the warning peoples confidently in
voked the aid of the Deity against its
antagonists-who. in turn, were pray
Ing to presumably the same God. Now
there has been q reaction. Larger con-
ceptions of the Supreme Being are
becoming dominant. 1t almost seems
as II the race were being taken back
to the land OF the great revelation to
the Jews in order TO be taught anew
the unity and sovereignty and love of
Jehovah. Assuredly, the war will leave
mankind with a bigger conception of
God than prevailed a twelvemonth
ago.
The Peril OF the jews
Another bit of religious news that
comes from private sources in the an
cient Holy Land is to the effect that
the Jews are scheduled to endure even
greater suffering than has already
come to them from the war. The
plight of the Zionists in Palestine for q
twelvemonth past has been pitiable.
But this latest intimation is to the
effect that the Jews in Turkey are to
share the fate proposed for the Ar
menians. Only those who have seen
the scattered communities OF Jews in
remote parts of the Ottoman empire,
and especially down the Tigris-
Euphrates valley. can understand how
completely they are at the mercy of
Moslem fanaticism.
Apparently the notable revival of
Zionism and of popular interest in the
cause of the Jews. which has been
manifest during recent months, has
been displeasing TO the reactionary
element in Turkey. Whether the re-
prisals are TO be as drastic as this
confidential report intimates, only time
can tell.
MeanWhlle, the sareSt Jews in all
Turkey are those under the American
flag. The prestige of America still
affords shelter TO its citizens and their
dependents. Even the German mis-
sionaries in one Turkish city-Mar-
sovan-placed themselves under the
protection of the American flag. al
though Germany and Turkey are allies.
The number of Bible-reading per-
sons who are looking back to the Land
of the R0Ob is hainp inpraaSoJ b,- nI,
days dispatches concerning the war.
The little land OF Palestine is once
more pregnant with religious possi-
bilities.
