America Must Give If Remnants of
Martyred Armenian Nation Are to Live

For two years. a thousand day have
persisted. For miles and leagues of
long roads and trails, their bodies lie
men. women and children dead as they
fell. The remnant is in the desert,
where no food is dying by scores, by
hundreds, by thousands by hundreds
of thousands.
Driven by the sword from their
homes to long tramp of FIVE to six
hundred miles what the sword spared
the desert has slain, what the desert
left the pestilence has smitten. and
hunger has followed to end a people,
scattered. wounded and forsaken. It Is
as though all the population Of Kan
sas were driven, a headlong, helpless
mass all the blood stained way to the
Rio Grande, there dying as they
searched for food, in a desert of UNI
sown fields. eating of the wild. This
Armenian remnant waits American aid
as the one hope left.
Europe has it's own aid and cannot
succor. No help can come save from
America and from the churches of
America of every faith and creed.
Give. that these may live. Give.
that a people may be saved. Give.
that once more these thousands that
are left may be few today and In due
season be set in their homes again.
This good work has begun behind
the advancing Russian army. Already,
homes are rebuilt, the naked clothed,
the hungry fed and plows and seed
corn promised for the harvest. Give
that this may spread. The plate dot
ted with change that goes down an
aisle will save a family. Small gifts
and large will save a nation.
All this applies in full measure to
the Syrians. They outnumber the Ar
menians. They have not suffered such
sore persecution As the Armenians, but
the privations of hundreds of thous-
ands OF them are equally great.
Remember the Sunday. October -,
set apart to this work. to Armenian
and Syrian and GENTLE. Christian and
Moslem- All that need share
aivs lest the blood OF those that
die because you gave not, be on your
garments. Lest faces you will never
see, stiffen In death because you gave
not In this day and hour of helpless
hopeless need which cries aloud for
your gift to save from the grave.
