DEATH OF MRS. W. c. KEYES. VERY CRADLE OF CHRISTIANITY
Thousands Dying from Starvation and
Resultant Diseases.

/ Declaring that he believed the
American people could not and would
not permit the crasle OF Christianity
to perish, Henry Morgenthau, former
United States Ambassado to Turkey
pointed out the dire need of the pover-
ty-strIcken and starving Armenians
and others in the Near East.
The condition of these people is ap-
palling," said Mr.. Moreerthau. -Four
hundred thousand of the starving hosts
of Armenia and Syria are children.
Multitudes have already perIshed,
while their mothers stood, poWerlesg
to help, while their dearest treasures
died uefor their eyes-their own child
ren for whom they would have given
their lives.
Upon these children, helped back
to normal childhoo1, let u, hope, by
the generosity of the An lean peo-
pie, must depend the per etuation of
a race that early acceptel Christianity
"a race that has been most cruelty
prosecuted by the barbarOus Turks and
has gone to Calvary for its telief.
"At Teheran and her cities, men,
women and children aIs prostrated on
the streets from exhaustion md dying
from starvation. People are grazing
in the fields like cattle. ChiIiren come
to the rest houses with flesh hanging
on their bones like rags. voices gone,
but eyes pleading ana impioring for
crust.
People all over Persia are falling
dead as fast as autumn leaves from
the trees 0,00n persons have died
in the past yesr in 1eheran alone from
starvation and the diseases whics fol-
low malnutrition.
''From one Armenian village comes
q sole survivor who tells story that

last people. Suddenly, without rea-
ION or warning, fifty of the leading
men OF their churches wero turown in
% prison, and there for ten days
ltarved ano tortured. At last, bound
eur together, the survivors were led
,ut on the journey which they we'll
.new would sooner or later end in
leath. Even then, to deny their King
would have set their feet back on the
oad to lite.
"'But no! spontaneously they
tarted forward singing-a hymn which
ave at once their farewell and their

LETTERS FROM SOLDIERS.
Interesting items From Our Boys "0Ver
There" and Elsewhere.

Ralph C. Johns, who lived with his
uncle, J. S. Johns. near Creston, ano
who went west and enlisted and was
sent to Puget Sound Navy Yard, has
had some experiences recently that he
tells in a very interesting way. He
writes from Jacksonville, Florida, and
is on board the u. 5. S. Bellingham
and his letter is dated January /. He
says:
"Dear Sir: | have always been
very glad to get your paper, while in
training at Puget Sound Navy Yard.
1t always seemed like letter from

1t wasn't so bad though; only about
one hundred and fifty degrees.
I'VE work in two suiits OF four
hours each, with eight hours between

way we work eight hours and are Oft
for sixteen every day.
"Ths part of Chile where we stopped
is nothing but barren mountains of
rock and sand; nothing G ows there
at all. They tell Us that 1t has never
rained there in forty years, and it
sure looked 1t.
"Iquique is the dirtiest place one

and dirty. With street cars drawn by
horses. We got only seven hours shore

Each barge held d hundrer tons, with
two men to row it. You can imagine
them working. We got it iuaded IN
ahout week and left the 7th of De-
cember; we passed through the Pam

rived at Jacksonville on the twenty
second.
"fhe government owns this ship and |

CARL HOLLOWAY.

The following letter from Carl Hol-

Wise men of all creeds and no

ling events. We should be sure of
our spiritual anchorage and we will
find the Rock of Ages our best refuge.

He indicated that the present fares
