THE TRAGEDY OF ARMENIA BY Bertha
> Papazian With Introduction by James
J. Barton. DID, SECRETARY of the American
board l2mo. pp. xiv. 164. Tho Pilgrim Press
There is no eXaegeration in speak
ing of the Armenian tragedy. For
years Armenia has been tragedy. And
the elimination of that tragedy, re-
plete with unspeakabie pathos and
horror, has been during the last four
years. Tho little book before us is
not an exploitation of the iniouities
of the Turks and Huns, though it
gives some graphic accounts of them.
1t aims to give brief but comprehen-
slve account Of the whole story of
Armenia in its relation to Christian
ity and to civilization And in this
aim it is highly successful. In no
sense is it merely propaganda, even
IN the most tragic passages maintain
lng most commendable air of i'm
partiality and truth. copious bibli-
ography of Armenian works and books
about Armenia adds to it's value

The second volume of this interest

Alexander III in 1894, and as Poland

his narrative a suitable background
and general setting by portraying the
state and progress of affairs in Russia
