CONDITIONS VERY
DARK IN TURKEY
Miss Bessie Hardy, Missionary at Mar
ash, Tells of Serious Outlook
Hone Is Christianity.

What it means for an Armenian to be
n Christian was the central thought OF
an enlightening address by Miss Bessie
naruy OF Marash, turkey. IN the chapel
of the Centre Congregational church last
evening before a good sized audience
More than $50 was received in the offer
ing for Armenian work. Miss Hardy
went to Turkey in 1913 and returned in
1920.
She told of the experiences in connec-
tion with the people in Marash during
the war days and of the suffering they
went through in that particular center,
and of the 30-days' war in Marash be-
tween Turkey and France before the
World war and of the situation there
when the French withdrew.
The conditions in the country ana
some of the ways in which the United
States might have helped the situation
if it had had the mandate were referred
Never in the history of the American
Board. said Miss Hardy, has such ca
lamity befallen its work as that in the
villages about Marash and III other
parts of Turkey, where the Board s
property has been DESTROYED.
In speaking of the needs OF assistance
for the Armenians at the present time
Miss Hardy said it was feared that the
Near East Relief might have to with
draw because of the lack or funds, ano
If they withdraw 1t removes practlcaliN
the only hope for the Armenians. as il
will remove the hospital and other IA
cilities and the Armenians will be eX
terminated BY starvation at the hands
of the Turks.
The outlook in that section is tht
| blackest that it ever was and thu
| speaker expressed the conviction that
( the present outlook was that futur'
missionary work in Turkey would b,
| turned toward the NohaDmedans. Tht
| Moslems are studying the Bible ant
| there are many individual cases wher

tianity. and the only hone for the solu

Brattleboro as Seen Through the Eyes
of a Stranger is the heading which was
written on communication to The Re
former from John V. Colclough of
Wellesley Farms, Mass. and it is a very
appropriate title Mr. ColclOugh was in
town several days this week on business
connected with the Twin State Gas &
Electric Co He was much pleased with
the town, but he found few things
which he criticized in a constructive
way. 1t always is interesting to know
an outsiders views, hence The Reformer
is pleased to print Mr.. Colclough's letter
herewith
Editor of The Reformer:
The first impression of this town ON
arriving from the south by rail Is that
the people must be descended from some
wise and far seeing first settlers, as the
location of the town is ideal.
l can imagine those early pioneers,
reeking to locate in new and fertile
territory, saying: We have at last dis
covered the spot for our future homes
and farms and as others joined them
the community came into being. That
was back IN 1905 ana from thdl tiiLle vi
the town has grown steadily. ..- ... 49,.
Brattleboro is located in the fertile
valley of the Connecticut River at the
extreme southwestern corner Of Vermont
With two lines of railroad it occupies
the position of hub: being within easy
distance of New York. Boston, ALBANY
and having direct line through to New
london on the south and to Rutland and
Montreal on the north. Thus it is vlrtu
ally the center of things and by all th'
laws of commerce should develop into :
large and prosperous community.
The first thing that strikes the
stranger here is the congenial and cordial
spirit of the whole community. chanc,
