Cable from COnstantinOple Urges In
crease of Armenian Relief Fund.

The American board of commissioners
for foreign missions has Just received
from Constantinople a cable relative to
the Armenian relief work. The MESA Sc
states that out OF the Philadelphia and
Crane funds enough remains for distri-
button during another month. but that
an additional one hundred thousand dol
lars will be necessary in order to keep
the most needy Armenans alive through
the winter. The message strongly urges
this amount. which is necessary in adj
dition to the amounts already raised.
1t further states that the local relief
committee has made arrangements uu-
der which 1t cxpends nine thousand dol
lars each week. and that its ability to
reach the needy is constantly ncrcas-
ing. BY conservative estimate there
are in Turkey about five hundred thou
sand survivors from the lnassacres. Tho
ma jority of these are women and chill
dren who are dependent On charity. In
n majority or cases they are entirely UNI
able TO work, and in many cases the Turk
ish government prohibits them from
working or earling a living, The DC
ported Ar7ncnians have not as yet been
allowed to settle Down definitely. and de-
pOrtauons have not entirely ceased.
Tho relief committee in Constantinoplc
Is able. by means Of devoted mission
aries still at their posts and through
hospitals and Red Cross workers TO
reach many Of the deportation camps
and some of the caravan contcrs through
which the cxilcs pass. w w. Feet
treasurer OF the boards missions in Tur-
key, is also treasurer Of the Red Cross
and OF several committees which work
from Constantinoplc. Ills long expo
rience of Turkish finances and his wide
influence with officials and with bust
ness men arc Of great value in making
the relief funds go as far as money can
go in aleviating present misery.

cbeerfully takes the paper from house
to house and from man to man until
the object is attained In fact, when
we contemplate the number of
"thankye" jobs he gets through with
in the run Of a year we often wonder
how on earth he has found time to
attend to his own affairs. But he
has, and he has attended to them
we'll.
The truth is that we all waste
many valuable hours and days that
might better be given to these kindly
ministrations to others comfort and
pleasure. We ponder our own cares
and perplexities, burdens and sor-
rows until they loom as mountains
in our pathway, obscuring our neigh
bors and their affairs, until we fire.
quently forget that they, too, have
cares and sorrows, many times more
grievous than our own.
1t would be of real benefit to us if
we could at times forget self, and
enter into the joys and sorrows Of
others.
Try it, friend, and you will be
surprised to realize how soon the
care and sorrow have flown from
your own life and left naught but joy
and peace in their stead.
