some of tho awful crimes perpetrated
on the Armenians by the Turks and of
the terrible suffering and persecution of
the Armenian people becaure they do
ii -t accept the Mohammedan religion.
Rev. Mooshey says his father, who was
an Armenian preacher, and a congrega
tion of two hundred peoplo were burned
to death In their church, Turks gath
ered around the building and wanted
tho people to become Mohammedans
and when they refused tho doors and
windows were boarded up and the
building burned. Ho suld that he has
known tho Turks to dig a largo trench
and stand two hundred women In It and
fill the trench with lime until there
would be nothing hut the women's heads
above the lime and then pour water on
the limo and allow the womcno
gradually hum todeath. He told munv
other horrible stories. Rev. Mcxishey
ion nis native land when he was 2.1
years old. bIx years ago, and has been
attending school In this country during
tnose six years. Ho has been constant
ly receiving letters from his mother.
Next February he will return to his na
tive land to preach. He has a two-fold
object In view for traveling around giv
ing talks as ho did here, one Is to get
money to alleviate tho suffering ol his
kindred and the other is the hope of
firing the American people to a point
that they will arise and demand freedom
for the poor suffering Armenians.

her. She was willing to obey the sum
mons to the haven of eternal joy and
happiness.
