HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH APRIL 2, 1915. conditions of life in Turkey and Per sia, however, as well as in points in the farther east, there has grown up not only the right of asylum for politi cal refugees in foreign legations and consulates, but also tjie custom of Christians fleeing for protection in times of prosecution to the mission compounds of the various nations. At the present time America being the only neutral nation, with missions in Persia and Turkey, its hospitality has been heavily taxed by the terrified and suffering natives, who sheeplike flock to the American shepherds in dis tress. So great is the prestige of the Amer ican flag', that it has frequently hap pened in case of massacres in Turkey, that two or three unarmed missionar ies have been able to protect within their compounds thousands of native refugees. At Tarsus,'during the mas sacres of 1909 and 1910, Mrs. Christie and two other women alone stood be tween a bloodthirsty mob and thou sand of threatened Americans, who had herded in the compound of the American school. This is what is hap pening at. the present time in Persia. In addition to providing protection at the present time, American mis sions all ovor the Levant are giving shelter and food to the hungry natives, who have been driven from their homes by the military upheaval. All this Involves a measure of peril; for there Is ever the possibility that some group, especially of Turkish sol diers, will get out of hand and do vio lence even to the foreigner. Two Amer icans, Messrs. Bogers and Maurer, •wjere slain in the Adnna massacre In 1909, and because nobody was punished for this the lives of all other missionaries in Turkey are in greater peril to-day. MakJiur Friends With Cutthroats The people who have been slaugh tering and burning and persecuting the Christians in Western Persia are the bloodthirsty Kurds, who are perhaps a little quicker with the knife and the trigger than any others on earth, not even excepting the tribesmen of Af ghanistan. They are a virile, stalwart people, who have been holding the mountains of Kurdistan for thousands of years, yielding only nominal sover eignty to whatever empire chanced to bo in control. Friends of the Presbyterian Amer ican Mission in Turkey the only American mission in that country— have felt rather serene In this time of upheaval because of the known friend ship of the Kurds to the Americans. The bountiful work of medical mis sions, which lias been done among the tribesmen by the Americans, has won tlieir gratitude. Last Fall when certain Kurdish re ligious leaders were sentenced to death nearUrumiah, it was an American mis sionary, Dr. Shedd, who interceded in their behalf and saved their lives, since their guilt had not at all been proved. In addition to the American mis sionaries in Persia, there is the French Catholic Mission and the Archbishop of Canterbury's Mission to the Nestor ians. In adjacent Turkish territory the American Board has missions, as well as in all .other parts of the Turkish Empire, except Palestine and Arabia, where the Presbyterians and the Dutch Reformed are at work. A Romantic Ancient Church The slaughter of the Christians near Urnmiah recalls one of the romances of religion possible only in the imme morial East. The cablegram spoke of Assyrians Christians. Now there have been no Assyrians for a thousand yenrs, although that word does occur in the formal title of the Archbishop of Canterbury's Mission. The Chris tians meant are the Nestorians, whope church still centers In this religion, even as it <lid in the fifth century when Bishop Nestorlous was driven from Constantinople. Nestorlous was the victim of high handed eeclesiastlcism, at the "robber council" at Ephesus In the fifth cen tury. His particular "heresy" was the statement that Mary, while the virgin mother of Jesus, the divine Son of God, was not to be called the "Mother of God." The followers of Nestorioua retired to Edessa, the modern Urfa, and from this center began the work of Chris tian propaganda, which has only been equaled by the past one hundred years of missionary activity. The Nestorians carried the Gospel over tlie entire continent of Asia. In parts of India there are to this day large Nestorian settlements. They penetrated China, and even converted some of the Chi nese emperors. Marco Polo reported that there were Nestorian churches along the entire route from Bagdad to i Peking. Harried by centuries of persecution, 1 the Nestorians have survived chiefly In the mountains of Armenia and Kurdl -1 stan, and it is among them that the missionaries are now working. Nes torians have had fifteen hundred years of experience of fleeing from persecu tion, so that In the present upheaval they are true to type. Missions' Ministry In the War An elaborate Red Cross work Is be ing done In Turkey at the present time and this Is made possible by the presence of tho missionaries. The "American Red Cross In Turkey" originated with Dr. Mary Eddy, a Presbyteripn woman missionary of Beirut, and it was fathered and fur thered largely by G. Bie Ravndal, United States Counsel General at Beirut. It has since grown until it embraces most of tho missionaries in the Turkish Empire, and many of the American businessmen. Now this American Red Cross has become a potent factor in Turkey's present plight. The British a«id French hospitals in Constantinople were early turned over to the American Red Cross. And In addition, the American Mission Hospitals at Konia (to which city the Sultan is said to have fled), Cesarea, Marsovan, Erzeroum, Slvas, Harpout, Alntab, Liataklo, Adana, Mer lin, Mardln, Diarbekir and Van have all been placed at the disposal of the Red Cross. This gave at the outset the equivalent of one thousand beds In fifteen modern hospitals for the care of the sick and wounded soldiers and their families. Mrs. Morgenthau, the wife of the American Ambassador, Is active in the Red Cross work, and Robert College has contributed beds and equipment. The American Red Cross has sent a medical mission with the central col umn of the Turkish army marching toward Sue*. This was led by Dr. Edgar St. John Ward, of Syrian Prot estant College at Beirut, and accom- panied by the Rev. George C. Doolittle, of the Presbyterian Mission at Sidon. This medical expedition established its base near Beersheba. Feeding the Starving The greatest plight of the natives at the present time has been hunger. Syrians, Jews and Persians have starved to death since conscription laid its palsying hand upon the Turkish Empire. The missions at Beirut and Tarsus and elsewhere are all feeding thousands of hungry refugees. Terror and turmoil have driven these poor j creatures to the American missions, for in these Americans they have supreme I confidence. This is the sort of service which has been repeated scores of times in Asia | during the past fifty years, that has [given America its primacy in influence among the older nations. By fulfilling the Scripture "Not to be ministered unto, but to minister," the Americans have come to a position of diplomatic influence which the continental na-' tions envy. THE RELIGIOUS RAMBLER. BASEBALL PHRASES ENRICH LANGUAGE New Universities Dictionary Defines Terms Used by "Fans" Baseball, this country's great na tional pastime, has come to have a language of its own. The newspaper men who follow the fortunes of the various big league teams throughout tho season of activity on the diamond would not be able to tell their story if they did not employ many words and expressions whose meaning is clear enough to tho more enthusiastic "fans," but often more or less obscure to casual followers of the game. The New Universities Dictionary be ing offered to the readers of this paper I contains a supplementary dictionary, giving an exhaustive list of such terms, and defines them so fully and clearly that anyone after a little study would be able to read the most difficult of the sporting editor's passages. The study of this list will be found not only, entertaining, but instructive, as many of the words treated therein have been borrowed by writers in the general field of literature Peeking new ancl effective means of expression, and their use outside of the baseball col umn In the newspaper has come to be regarded as both proper and In good taste. The expression "hugging the base," for instance, in baseball parlance, means that a runner is keeping close to a hase, fearing a surprise play; It also aptly conveys tho idea of a cau tious attitude in any one of a number of situations that can easily be im agined. Students of language will find the dictionary of baseball incor porated in the New Universities Dic tionary of vital interest. DEATH OF LEWIS ARNOLD Special to The Telegraph Millerstown.
