BRINGS APPEAL FOR EUROPE AND ASIA

18,0O0 souls only 15O dust covered near skeletons reached the end of the journey, 1850 having dropped by the wayside,. claimed by death.
 The Armenian people are looking to America as their best friend and as their last hope. Are we to sit by and see these people, the first heather wiped out after 1.290 years of perse- cution? Are we to sit with the beg ging world at our feet or are we tol rise and give the world relief?
 have just come from countries that are Starving and I am starting back there next month. It is ,an aw-. ful thing to be left enriched by the war, holding one third of the wealth of the world while Europe, is starving and Asia is in darkness.
 Dr. Eddy told the story of three ,, boys in India saved 24 years ago from the dregs of life and nov leading fig ] -ures in their country. One is bishop of the Church of England in India, one is bishop of the reformed Syrian | church in India and the third is mod orator of the South India church. i ask you, was 1t worth while to save these three boys from the dregs of l life? Give the nations a chance and I see how they will respond.
 
 another story. It was the story of 9 1 young Chinese soldier who 20 years ago stood by ana saw the murder of | Horace Pittman, classmate of pr. 1 Eddy, and who soon afterwards, his soul revolting at such barbarity, be- came converted and is now one of 1 the leading Christian generals of the Chinese army. Pittnans son, who was a child at the time of his father S
 murder, is now preparing to go out to !, the country that killed his father Thank God, the spirit of sacrifice is not dead, said Dr. Eddy.
 | Is our country going to fail God and
 humanity or are we going to save the
 starving, perishing world that we only
 can save? My heart has burned witt
 shame as I have crossed this ricf country of ours while the world k
 starving. With the doors wide open I never have we lacked money for oul
 foreign work as we lack this year God knows where the money is com. l ing from!
 \ All I can do is plead before thu Christian people of this. country ant go back to those people empty hand ed or as you will. If our governmen has not done as it might do. w l are free to help the starving nation of the world. I do not feel that we are going t demobilize our. patriotism. I do no } believe the heart of America is goin 3 to fail God and humanity. I believ l we are going to do our duty and re } spond to the call of sacrifice in tn worlds hour of, need.
 Rev. George H. Strcuse offered } fervent prayer and pronounced tn f benediction.

TROOPS ON THE WAY TO PUT
 DOWN REVOLT IN SONORA

Mexico City. April 15.-General Die guez, with 19O00 men. is reported to be on his way to Sonora to put down the revolt
 The government is Optisimtic over the outcome of recent events and it is believed that a compromise may be reached and bloodshed avoided. The remainder of the republic is reported 10 be absolutely quiet with trains running on schedule. There has been no renewed activity of the rebels re- ported anywhere, and the Sonora up rising appears to be local in char acter. There apears to be no truth in reports that contraband has been landed on the coast. that other revolts are in progress and that mobilization of federal forces on a large scale has been ordered.
 Despite the at first insistent reports that Lieutenant Colonel Alvaro Ob- regon had fled this city, there is good reason now to believe he is still in the capital and hiding in the suburbs either in Laiedad or Tacuba, ac- cording to local newspapers.

Eddy made but a brief stay in Nor wich, coming here early Thursday af- ternoon and leaving Thursday night for New York.
 After the prelude by Organist Fred erick ". Lester the congregation followed by the scripture reading by Rev. Alexander H. Abbott, pastor of the church. Rev. MT. Abbott then offered prayer and after the singing of another hymn by the congregation James L. Case, president of the Y. M. c. A., introduced Dr. Eddy. MT. Case spoke of Dr. Eddy's visit to Norwich 1 in the spring of 1916. That lesson he gave us has not been forgotten. said T.. plimented in having him here tonight because very few cities the size of Norwich are favored by visit from | him.
 pr. Eddy in opening his address said he would speak on The Present I World Situation-A Challenge to America. I was with the boys in France until the armistice was signed said Dr. Eddy. Since then I have visited many countries in Europe and 1 Asia and in every one I have found some national crisis impending. Do we care how the other half of the world lives? Europe is in desperate straits and found every country in Asia l having it's troubles also.
