THE CRY OF ARNENIA
DRaTALIVIAGE RELATES THE HOR-
RORS OF THE MASSACRE.

Washington, Jan, 12.—It was appropri-
ate that lathe presence of the chief men
of this nation and other nations Dr. Tal -
inane should tell the story of Armenian
massacre. What will be the extent or
good • of such a discourse none, can tell.
The text was II Mngs, xix, 87, "They
escaped into the land of Armenia."
In bible geography this is the first
time that Armenia appears, called then
by the same name as now. Armenia is
• oblefly a tableland, 7,000 feet above the
level of the sea, and. on one of its peaks
Noah's ark landed, with its human I 4mily
and fauna that were to flil the earth.
That region was the birthplace of the
rivers which fertilized the garden of Eden
when Adam and Eve lived there, their
only roof the crystal skies and their earpet
the emerald of rich grass. Its inhabit-
ants, the ethnologists tell us,are a superi-
or tpye of the Caucasian race. Their re,
ligion Is founded On the bible. Their
Saviour is our Christ. Their grime is that
they will not become followers of Moham-
med, that Jupiter of sensuality. To
drive them from the face of the earth is
the ambition of all Mohammedans, To
,accomplish this murder is no crime, and
'wholesale massacre is a matter of enthu-
'elastic approbation and governmental re-
ward. • •
The prayer sanctioned by highest Mo-
baminedan authority and recited every
day throughout Turkey and Egypt, while
styling all those not Mohammed:epees in-
fidels, is as follows: "0 Lord of all one -
tures! 0 Allah, destroy the infidels and
polytheists, thine enemies; the enemies
of the religion! 0 Allah, make their
•children orphans and defile their bodies!
Cause their feet to slip, give them and
their families, their households and their
-women, their children and teeir relatives
by marriage, their brothers and, their
friends, their possessions and the race,
their wealth and their lands as booty to
the Moslems, 0 Lord of all creatures"
The life of an Armenian in the presence
'of those who make that prayer is of no
more value than the life of a summer in-
sect. The Sultan of Turkey sits on a
'throne impersonating that brigandage and
assassination. All this time all civilized
netions aro in horror at the attempts of
that Mohammedan Government to des-
troy all the Christians of Armenia. I
Iear somebody talking as though some
new thing were happening, and that the
Turkish Government had taken a new
Iola of tragedy on the stage of nations.
.No, no! She is at the same old business.
eleverleokIng her diabolism of other cen-
turies, we come down to our century to
find that in 1822 the Turkish Government
slow 50,000 anti -Moslems, and in 1850 she
slew 10,000, and in 1860 she slew 11,000,
and. in 1876 she slew 10,000, Anything
short of the slaughter of thousands of
human beings does not put enough red
wine into her cup of abomination to
make it worth quaffing. Nor is this the
slimly time she has promisee reform. In
the presence of the warships at the mouth
of the Dardanelles she has promised the
civilized nations Of the earth that she
would stop her butcheries, and the Inter.
national and hemispheric farce has been
.enacted of believing what she says, when
all the past ought to persuade us that she
Is only pausing in her atrocities to put
mations off the track and then resume the
work of death,
In 18e0 Turkey, in treaty with Russia,
promised to alleviate the condition of
Christians, but the promise was broken.
In :1839 the them sultan promised protein
tion of life and property without reference
to religion, and the promise was broken,
In 1844, at the demand of an English
minister plenipotentiary, the Sultan do.
dared, after the public execution of an
Armenian at Constantinople, that no such
'death penalty simuld again be indicted,
and the promise was broken. In 1880, at
the demand of foreign nations, the Turk-
ish Government promised protection to
Protestants, but to this day the Protes-
tants at Stamboul are not allowed to
.build a church, although they have the
funds ready, and the Greek Protestants,
who have a church, are not permitted to
'worship he it, In 1856, after the Crimean
war, Turkey promised that no one should
'be hindered in the exercise of the religion
be professed, and that promise has wen
broken In 1878, at the Memorable
traty of Berlin, Turkey promised relig-
ious liberty to all her subjects in every
part of the Ottoman empire, and the
promise was broken. Not once in all the
.centuries has the Turkish Government
kept her promise of mercy. So far from
any improvement, the condition of the'
Armenians has become worse and worse
sear by year, and all the promises the
*Turkish Government now makes are
only a gaining of time by which she is
making preparation for the complete ex-
retermination of Christianity from her
borders, •

tinental and hemispheric lying on the

"STAND UP, STAlt110 VP, FOR ‘TES1713."
George Duilield.
George Duffield was born in Carlisle,
Pa., April 126h, 181e. He graduated AO
Yale College in 1837, and at the Union
Theological Seminary, New York; in 1848.
He was pastor in Brooklyn seven years,
I then moved to Bloomfield, N.J., where be
! remained four years, thou to Philadelphia,
! Where he tam:tined ten years, leaving
there in 1861, and then Moved to Detroit.
iThe loss of his wife at Lansing, n1880 affected him so deeply that lie re-
signed his charge and went to live with a
brother in Detroit. In 1887 his son, authoi
. of "English Hymns," slept the sleep of the
just: One son had previously gone the
1 way of all the earth. This eccumuletion.
of Sorrows seemed greater than his af-
fectionate heart could bear. Bravely but
vainly he struggled against loneliness and
loss. In the summer oft8, While visiting
daughter-in-law at Bloomfield, N.J., his
own MA pastorate, with a premonition of
approaching death, he wrote to a brother,
closing thus:
+ "And if I May be deemed Worthy,
should like the last verse of my hymn,
"Stand up, stand up, for Jesus,'
above may resting place."
He died at Bloomfield, July 6, 1,888. Rip
remains were takea to Detroit the follow-
ing day, and laid by tender, reverent hands
where
"Not a wave of trouble rolls
Acress bie peacefel breast."
A monument hearing the inscription he
desired, telling the story of
"Him that overcometh,"
will soon be in place over his Elmwood
resting place,
It is a fact worthy of record that of the
hymns sung during his funeral services
one was written by his uncle, the Rev.
George D. Bethune, one by his sou, Nat
Rev. S. W. Duffield"; and one,
"Blessed Savior, Thee I love,"
by him over whose "coinned clay" they
sang,
"Stand up, stand up, for Jesus,"
This hymn is the most stirring of all our
soldier songs.
Sonic others are:
"Am I a Soldier of the Cross ?"
"Hold the Fort."
"Onward, Christian Soldier."
"My Soul, be on Thy Guard."
"Brightly Gleams Our Banner."
"Stand up for Jesus" was the dying
message of the Rev. Dudley A. Tyng to
the Y.M.C.A. and the ministers associated
with them in the noonday prayer meeting
during the great revival of 1858 in Phila-
delphia, better known as "The work of
God in Philadelphia."
The Sabbath before his death, Dr. Tyng
preached in Jaynes Hall from Ex. 10: 11,
"Go, now, ye that are men and serve the
Lord," and of the live thousand men there
assembled, it is said at least one thousand
men were slain for the Lord.
Time following Wednesday, leaving his
study for a moment, he went to the barn
• floor, where a mule Was at work on a
horse -power shelling corn. Patting the
mule on the back, time sleeve of his silk
study gown caught in the cogs of the
wheel, and his arm was torn oat by the
roots. His death occurred in a very few
hours. His last words were: "Tell them
to stand up for Jesus; now let us sing a
hymn." Never was there greater lamenta-
tion over the death of a young man than
over that of Rev. Dudley A. Tyng.
The following Sabbath the author of
this hymn, preached from Ex. 6: 14,
"Stand therefore, having your loins girt
about with truth, and having on the
breastplate of righteousness," and the
verses were writteu simply as the conclud-
ing exhortation. The superintendent of the
Sabbath School had a fly -leaf printed for
the use of the children, and a stray copy
found its way into the newspaper, and
front that paper it has gone all over the
world, being translated into several lan-
guages, and is now the rallying song of
the children all the world around.
It had origioally six verses, but tem
verses, the second and fifth, are left out of
our hymn books. They are:
Stand up, stand up, for Jesus,
The solemn watchword hear;
If while ye sleep He suffers,
Away with shame and fear;
Where'er ye meet with evil,.
'Within you or without,
Charge for the God of battles,
Aud put the foe to rout.
Stand up, stand up, for Jesus,
Each soldier to his post;
Close up the broken column
And shout through all the host.
Make good the loss so heavy,
• In those that still remain,
And prove to all around you
That death itself is gain.
Two lines in the third verse have also
been changed ; originally they were :
"Put on the Gospel armor,
Each piece Out on with prayer."
Changed to:
"Pet on the Gospel armor,
And watching unto prayer."
The author .says the Rest time he ever
beard it outside of hie own church was in
1864, when on a visit to the Army of the
Jameseit being the favorite song of the
Christian soldier in that Army.
Story of a Careful Man.
He was a careful and thoughtful man;
In fact it might be said that he was an
extremely careful sled thoughtful man.
Be was resting comfortably in an easy -
chair with his feet resting on a foot -rest
when he discovered that his pencil need-
ed sharpening. Any other man would
have taken out his knife and begun work
at once but he was, too thoughtful for
• that; also too careful. •
He sighed, got upout of his chair and
event across the room for a little waste-
paper basket- that Was standing in' tho
corner. Then he returned to his seat in
the easy -chair, and plaited the basket on
the floor between, his logs.
His wife smiled approvingly, and he
felt ptoud of nim self.
He opened his knife, leaned over his
basket and began work on the pencil.
"It is just as. cites? 'to he careful and

GIRL'S VALVE PURITY IN MEN.
The Exceptions, Who Wed Meat of the
World, Always Repent on It.
A young man writes to Edward, W.
Bok inquiring why so many girls seem
to prefer the company of young fellows
of slightly blotted character—men who
have seen the world—and in many cases
marry them, in face of the fact that
their past lives are known to them. In
the January issue of The Ladies' Home
Journal Mr. Bar, its editor, makes this
reply; "Girls, that is, the right kind
of girls, do not prefer the company of
young men of this. sort. Doubtless,
you have come across instances where
this rule has been otherwise; so have
1, But it is all in the seeming, and. not
in the reality. Depend upon one tiring:
girls have as high an'estimate of purity
in mart as men have of purity in 'wo-
man. There are, of course, cases to the
contrary, but these are few. Where
girls marry men who are known, to
have led what is called a 'worldly
life,' it is more generally due to a mis-
understanding of facts en: to ignorance
than people imagine, There is a type
of girl who finds a peculiar satisfaction
in the conquest of a man who has 'seen
the world,' and then comes to her as
the one woman of all her sex who can
make him happy. This sometimes
pleases her vanity and love of conquest,
hut she is not many years older before
she discovers that she has satisfied those
feelings at a very high cost: There is
another type of girl who rather fancies
a man who is what is called 'fast.' But
that sort of girl is painfully ignorant of
whatis meant by that word as applied.
to a man. If she were not she would-
be vary apt to change the adjective to
'vulgar.' And as. she matures site
finds this out. It is only young men of
upright lives who can hope to win the
favor and. love of girls ofhigh motives,
the girls Who make the best wives. If,
at times, .girls • seem to favor young
men of another kind, the glamour is
simply transitory. It is rare, very rare,
that a girl's better instincts do not lead
her to the higher grade of young men.
An upright life .never fails of reward,'
enti of tire highest reward, from the
hand of woman,"
GOLD AND DIAMOND THIEVES.
In South Africa They Are One of the
Plagues of the Country.
• The gold and diamonds of South
Africa have already attracted a very
fair proportion of the thieves of the
world to that favored region. Some
very fine hauls have been made, and
others all but made; but one hears
little of such things over here; there is
so much of solidly interesting South
African news that the cables seldom
give us the picturetque. Decidedly the
most sefisational attempt was one a
few years ago en the diamond. train.
To reach Cape Town from Kimberly
used to take three days, or at least two
days and three nights. The diamonds
used to be eaeried in a Sale in the post -
office sorting van. Some expert thieves
fowl(' out *here the safe always stood
in the van, and under that spot, be..
neath the bottom of the van, rigged up
a platform of rope and plank, whereon
a man could lie and work with a drill
as the train sped On its way. It is a
lonely journey, with hours and hours
between stations, The thief endured
his nucomfortable position beneitth the
moving train long enough to bore a
circlet of holes in the bottom of the
iron safe, having nrst Out a piece out
of the bottom of the van. His pind
was to complete the circle in this
tedious way so as to remove a piece of
the safe bottom afici leave it hole large
enough for the insertion of an arm, the

for him, he was either disturbed, or he
got tired., or he dropped oft his planks.
At any 'rate he did not cut out the
piece of metal, consequently did not
reap his glittering reward. Ve escaped.
The postoffiee people in the van hear&
nothing of the drill—which probably
was silent save when there was the.
clatter racket of the wheels to drown
its noise. When the platform and the
pierced safe were discovered the thief
had gone and left no clew beyond. his
handiwork, which never prayed. suffi-
cient for tracing hina.—Strt, James'

'Which Kind of a Husband Are Vow?
There is scarcely a husband who, dur-
ing the past four months, has not urged.
his wife to learn to ride a wbeel. There
Is scarcely a husband, of the tot who does
not now regret that he so urged her. He
has found that It has added to his nervous
impairment in the ratio of about fifty
per oent, and in addition thereto he has
caught the "husband neck." This
strange ma'ady Is caused by the constant
craning of the neck, generally to the left
to see if the wife of one's bosom is safe.
Even after the husband has found that
his wife has really become a skilled rider
the habit remains. Be can no more help
turning his head at short intervals than
he can held imagining that all sorts of
dire disasters are befalling ben And,
there seems to be no cure for this. The
natural one to suggest would be that a.
man's wife should ride ahead of him.
But no man, as yet, could possibly con-
sent to this, both because it is his nature
to lead, and also because he would thus.
expose his wife to the dangers of the road
and side path, winch he might avert by
being in the lead. As yet the disease has
only attacked those who are really fond of
their wives. To what extent it will
spread is, of course, dependent upon the
number of such husbands. --Brooklyn Life.
'A set of bridesmaids' frocks made at
Worth's have skirts of pale yellow satin,
bodices of the same draped with mous-
seline de sole in yellow and white lace;
the hats are big affairs of black velvet
with black ostrich feathers nodding in all
directions, and sonic shaded yellow chrys-
anthemums. At a recent picturesque
wedding, the bridesmaids wore embroider-
ed Inoussaline de sole made up over a
decided orange satin. The balloon
sleeves to•the elbows, the neck -bands and.
the sashes were of satin, and the body
was dtaped with lace and the mousseline.
They wore hege Gainsborough hats of vel-
vet and carried immense shower bouquette
made or yellow and bronze chrysanthe-
muins and autumn leaves.
