cism and the sword of Islam. 1t is
story that cannot be told unless we
hear voices from his nameless graves
of Christian martyrs from the shores
of the Black Sea to Mesopotamia, ir
every village and along every road.
1t is the story of gentle women and lit
tie children who laid down their lives
for the Faith that we all profess.

ian might not only have escaped mas

Mohammedanism but he might have

Urfa. 1t lies between the Euphrates

Christian town in the world. Urfa
had, at the outbreak of the war, 25,-
900 Christians and about as many
Moslems. l can show you the bones
Of more than $4,000 Christians scat
tered over that town. Every well in
the city is full of bodies. They tried
to clean out one we'll and found 211
bodies Of women and children. 1t was
in Urfa that they devised new amuse-

The business mems gospel team op.
cned up meetings in the big shed"
yesterday morning. Fine weather and
a good attendance made promising
initial service. Mr.. Scott, "the big
Swede," showed his mastery Of the
situation from the opening song for
ward. He not only knows how to han
die choir, but he does some good
work on his own account. His rem
derins of I'm Little Old Fashioned,
Know" was received with enthusi-
asm by the crowd
Mr.. Harper has few marks Of the
cloth about him. He hits ''strai.;lt
out from the shoulder but there is
no slang and no buffoonery about him.
He talked to church people mostly and
from the tone Of his remarks, we judge
he was giving them something that
was good for what allied them" He
indicated that it was necessary. rot
only to have religion, but to have
enough of it to count for something.
His utterly unconventional closing
without hymn or benediction left sorc
of the people in wonderment.
Evening Meeting.
The evening crowd comfortably filled
the tabernacle. Men and women were
present in about equal numbers. Some
people got to singing last night that
have not made that venture before
for many week. With deft little
speech, Mr.. Scott had the women un-
tangling their headgear without even
mentioning hats. The evening talk
was plea for Christians to be gen.
uine in their lives without hypocrisy
or camoufagc.
