Armonlan worker accompanlod by Rov
E C Seaman Episcopalian minister
of Amnrllld woro in Tulln Wodnosday
In tho morning Rov Dombourjaln nd
dressed tho teachers and pupils of Tulla
public silho ol It is needless to ndd
that tho address was well received nnd
fully appreciated by nil
At 2 oclock in tho aftornoon tho
various business houses of Tulln wcro
closed so thnt our citizens might ns
Bcmblc In tho district court room to
listen to Dr Dombourjaln
Judge W 0 Dinwiddle chairman of
tho Swisher County Council of Defense
and chairman of tho campaign for Ar
mcnlanSyrlnn Relief prcsiaod
Dr Seaman first nddrcssed tho as
sembled friends in n clear straight
forward manner ho presented the needs
of those Buffering people His talk was
intcrsporscd wlth wit that brought tho
lessons more clearly to mind He told
how that this was n nation with many
Christian workers but that the people
over there wcro want to call the Amcri
enn ministers and rcllof workers An
gols He also told how tho Red Crofs
recognized tho imperntivo needs of tho
country but thought best to let thcoe
workers handle the matters of rcllof
How tho Red Cross had agreed to give
4200000000 per year for this work
the needs being so great that in one
month they had given 30000000 As
an illustration of tlio financial methods
of tho Committee for Relief in the
Near East he told how that 0000000
had Iwon contributed Tho Committee
had extended help to too vnluo of >
02500000 This is an apparent financial
impossibility to pay out more
than is received btit it was 11 philanthropic
accomplishment It was accomplished
by placing tho moneys on depos
J It in bunks nnd with tlie w ork and expenses
being met by fTCo labor and
other liclp and with tho interest on
tho deposits the above rash work was
done
Dr Dombourjnin held tho closest attention
of all for about thirty minutes
ne Is an ordained Presbyterian minister
nnd is a native of Armenia He
has worked with all denominations and
Christian workers In helping tho people
of his homo land Through all llieMcr
rible nnd bloody days ho has hcldn firm
hold on God and the sureness of nis
promises Ho speaks English brokenly
hut remarkably well In telling of tho
ntrosltlcs which wero horrible and beggar
description ho said I will not
punish but God will punish We regret
that wo are not able to give n
complete report of his address From a
description of the country geographically
how portions nro under threo sop
arato Governments ho carried us on in
thoughts through the cruelties of tho
great oppressors the Turks Many
touching lessons of tho heroism of his
people nnd thoir devotion to God nnd
duty he told Yes he said the
cruelties were the works of the Turks
but showed the minds of tho Germans
Tho children women nnd old men received
greater torture if possible than
the Belgians Ho brought his words
to tlio high thought as expressed In
the book of Esther in the Bible
Queen Esther wn told by Mordecni
thnt undoubtedly she wns the instru
incnt in Gods hnnds to save the Jew
ish people from tho bloody order of
Unman Now ho said maybe you
American people nro to bo tho Instruments
in Gods hnnds to relieve the
sufferers in Armenia
In telling of his travels and in coming
out of the persecuted country Dr
Douihourjnin showed us some of tho
dry bread as well ns some of tho blnck
bread and told us of the oxhorbitnnt
pi ices charged
Wo feel that much good and enlight
