REV. DR. TALMAGE TELLS THE STORY |
OF MOHAMMEDAN CRUELTY.
An Eloqcent and Fervid Appeal ? The !
Cowardly Saltan Excoriated?Has Amer- ;

'
ten and the Red Ctosa,
Washington, Jan. 12. ?It was appropriate
that m the presence of the chief
men of this nation and ether nations
Dr. TaImage should tell the story of Armenian
massacre. What will be the extent
for good cf such u discourse none
can tell. The text was II Kings xix,
87, "They escaped into the land of Armenia.
"
In Bible geography this is the first
that nnnears. called then j
Uu:^ vuuv x
by the same name as now. Armenia is !
chiefly a tableland, 7,000 feet above the
level of tho sea, and on one of its peaks
Noah's ark landed, with its human
family and fanna that were to fill 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 carpet the emerald of rich
grass. It3 inhabitants, the ethnologist;?
tell us, are a superior type of tho Caucasian
race. Their religion is founded
on the Bible. Their Saviour is our
Christ. Their crime is that they will not
| become followers of Mohammed, that Jupiter
cf sensuality. To drive them from
k 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 enthusiastic app?Q'
bation and governmental reward.
The prayer sanctioned by highest Mohammedan
authority and recited every
day throughout Turkey and Egypt,
while styling all those not Mohammedans
as infidels, is as follows: "O Lord
% of all creatures I O Allah! Destroy the
infidels and polytheists, thine enemies,
I the enemies of the religion. O 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 their relatives by marriage,
their brothers and their friends, their
possessions and the race, their wealth
and their lands as booty to the Mos.
lems, 0 Lord cf all creatures!" The
Jife cf an Armenian in the presence of
those who make that prayer is of no
more value than the life of a summer
insect.
Statistics of Slaughter.
I The sultan cf Turkey sits on a throne
impersonating that brigandage and assassination.
At this time all civilized
nations are in horror at the attempts cf
that Mohammedan government to destroy
all the Christians of Armenia. I
hear somebody talking as though some
new thing were happening, and that the
Turkish government had taken a new
role cf tragedy on tho stage of nations.
No, no! She is at the same old business.
Overlooking her diabolism of other centuries,
we come down to our century
to find that in 18:32 the Turkish government
slew 50,000 anti-Moslems, and
in 1850 she slew 10,000, and in 1SG0
she slew 11,000 and in 1876 she slew
10,000. Auythingshorr of the slaughter
of Thousands of human beings docs not
put enough red wine into her cup of
abomination to make it worth quafimg.
Nor is this tho only time she has promised
reform. In the presence of the warships
at the mouth of the Dardanelles
she has promised tho civilized nations
cf the earth that she would stop her
butcheries and the international and
hemispheric farce has been enacted cf
believing what she says, when all the
past ought to persuade r?s that she is
only pausing in licr atrocities to put nations
off the track and then resume tho
work cf death.
In 1820 Turkey in treaty with Russia
promised to alleviate the condition cf
Christians, but the promise was broken.
In 1839 the then sultan promised protection
cf life and property without referenco
to religion, and the promise was
broken. In 184-1, at the demand cf an
English minister plenipotentiary, the
sultan declared after tho public execution
of an Armenian at Constantinople
that no such death penalty should again
be inflicted, und tho promise was broken.
In 1850, at the demand of foreign nations,
the Turkish government promised
protection to Protestants, but to this

allowed to build a church, although
they have the fuuds ready, and the
Greek Protestants, who have a church,
are act permitted to worship in it. In
185G, after the Crimean war, Turkey
promised that no one should be hindered
in the exercise of the religion he professed.and
that promise has been brokejj,
In 1878, at the memorable treaty of
Berlin, Turkey promised religious 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
year by year, and all the promises the
Turkish government now makes aro only
a gaining of time by which she is roak
ing preparation for the complete extermination
of Christianity from her borThe
Nuisance of the A^es.
Why, after all the national and continental
and hemispheric lying cn the
part of the Turkish government, do not
the warships of Europe ride up as close
as is possible to the palaces of Constantinople
and blow that accursed government
to atoms? In the name of the
eternal God, let the nuisance of the
ages be wiped off the face of the earth!
Down to tbo perdition from which it
smoked up sink Mohammedanism ! Between
these outbreaks of massacre the
Armenians suffer in silence wrongs that
are seldom if ever reported. They are
taxed heavily for the mere privilege of
living, and the tax is called "the humiliation
tax." They aro compelled to
give three days' entertainment to any
Mohammedan tramp who may be passing
that way. They must pay blackmail

was eondeumo! to death for translating
the English 4'Book of Common
Prayer" into Turkish. Seventeen Armenians
were sentenced to 15 years' imprisonment
for rescuing a Christian
bride from the baud its.
Tiiis is tho way the Turkish government
amuses itself in time of peace.
These are the delights of Turkish civilization.
Cut when the days of massacre
come, then deeds are done which may
not be unveiled in any refined assem|
blage, and if one speaks of the horrors,
j he must do so in well poised and cautious
vocabulary. Hundreds of villages
destroyed! Young men put in piles of ;
brushwood, which are then saturated j
j with kerosene and set on fire! Mothers,
! in the most solemn hour that ever cc-mcs
in a woman's life, hurled out and bayoneted
! Eyes gouged out and dead and
dying hurled into the same pit! The
slaughter of Lucknow and Cawnpur,
; India, in 1837, eclipsed in ghastliuess J
| The worst scenes cf the French revolution
in Paris made, more tolerable in con trast!
In many regions of Armenia tho
only undertakers today are the jackals
i and hyenas. Many cf the chiefs id the
i massacres were sent straight from Con|
stantiuople to do their work, and having
returned were decorated by the sultan.
To four of the worst murderers the sultan
sent silk banners, iu delicate appro,
j ciaticn cf their services. Five hundred
I thousand Armenians put to death or dyI
ing of starvation! This moment, whilo
j I speak, all up and down Armenia sit
| many people, freezing in the ashes of
j their destroyed homes, bereft of mof
i of their households and awaiting the
I club of assassination to put them out cf
[ their misery.
"How L.opg, O Lord!"
No wonder that the physicians cf
! that region declared that among all the
J men and women that were down with
I wnnnds and sickness and under tljeir
care not one wanted to get well. Remember
that nearly all the reports that
have ccmo to us of the Turkish outrages
have been manipulated and modified and
softened by the Turks themselves. The
story is not half told, or a hundredth
part told, or a thousandth part told,
j None but God and our suffering broth'
ers and sisters in that farcff land knoty
! the whole story, and it will not bo
i known until in the coronations of lieavi
en Christ shall lift to a special throne
of glory these heroes and heroines, sayj
ing, "Tljese are they who camo out of
; great tribulation and had their robes
washed and made white in the blood of
j the lamb." My Lord and my God, thou
] didst on the cross suffer for them, but
j thou, surely, O Christ, wilt not forget
; how much they have suffered for thee!
| I dare not deal in imprecation, but I
i never so much enjoyed the imprecatory
songs of David as since I have heard
i how those Turks are treating the .Armenians.
The fact is, Turkey has got to
be divided up among ether nations. Of
course the European nations must take
the chief part, but Turkey ought to bo
compelled to pay America for tho American
mission buildings and American
schoolhouscs she has destroyed and to
support the wives and children of tho
Americans ruined by this wholesale
butchery. When the English lion and
tho Russian bear put their paws en that
Turkey, the American eagle ought to put
j in its bill.
j Who are these American and English
j and Scotch missionaries who are being
j hounded among the mountains of Ar;
meuia by the Mohammedans? The noj
blest men and women this side c-f heaven.
Some cf them men who took tho
| highest honors at Yalo and Princeton
i and Harvard and Oxford and Ediui
burgh. Some of them women, gentlest
i and most Christlike, who, to save peo|
pie they never saw, turned their backs
on luxurious homes to spend their days
| in self expatriation, saying gcoaby to
! father and mother and afterward good'
by to their own children as circum|
stances compel them to send the little
j ones to England, Scotland or America.
i Lave seen tnese ioreign missionaries
i in their hemes all around the world,
' and I stamp with indignation upon the
i literary blackguardism of foreign corre!
6pondents who have deprecated these
i heroes and heroines who are willing to
j live aud die for Christ's sake. Thc-y
! will have the highest thrones in heaven,
I while their defainers will not get near
! enough to the shining gates to seo tho
. faintest glint of any one of the 12
| pearls which make up the 12 gates.
The CoTT3rdlj Sultan.
This defamation of missionaries is
augmented by the dissolute English,
i American and Scotch merchants who go
j to foreign cities, leaving their families
: behind thern. Those dissolute merchants
! in foreign cities lead a life of such gross
! immorals that the pure households of
| the missionaries arc a perpetual rebuko.
| Buzzards never did believe in doves, and
[ if there is anything that nightshade
hates it is the water lily. What the 550
j American missionaries have suffered in
' the Ottoman empire since 1S20 I leave
J the archangel to announce on the day of
judgment. You will see it reasonable
i that I put so much emphasis on AmcriI
canism in the Ottoman empire when I
| tell you that America, notwithstanding
i all the disadvantages named, has now
| over 27,000 students in day schools in
| that empire and 35,000 children in her
i Sabbath schools, and that America has
I expended in the Turkish empire for its
j betterment over $10,000,000. Has not
: America a right to be heard? Aye, it
j will be heard ! I am glad that great iu|
dignaiion meetings are being held all
j over this countiy. That poor, weak,
cowardly saltan, whom I saw a few
j years ago ride to his mosque for worship,
! guarded by 7,000 armed men, many of
I them mounted on prancing chargers,
will hear of these sympathetic meetings
for the Armenians, if not through American
reporters, then through some of
his 360 wives. What to do with him?
There ought to be some St. Helena to
which he could be exiled while the nations
of Europe appoint a ruler of their
own to clean out and take possession of
the palaces of Constantinople. Tonight
this august assemblage in the capital of
the United States, in the name of the
God of nations, indicts the Turkish government
for the wholesale assassination
I in Armenia and invokes the interference
of Almighty God and the protest of
eastern and western hemispheres.
A Cobweb of Spiders.
But what is the duty of the hour?
' Sympathy, deep, wide, tremendous, immediate!
A religious paper, The Christian
Herald of Mow York, has led the
way with munificent contributions collected
from its subscribers. But the
Turkish government is opposed to any
! relief of the Armenian sufferers, as I
! personally know. Last August, before I
had any idea of becoming a fellow cit-i|
zeu with you Washingtonians, >'.70,000
for Armenian relief was offered me if I
j would personally take that relief to
j Armenia. My passage was to be engaged
| on the City of Paris, but a telegram was
j sent to Constantinople asking if the
j Turkish government would grant- me
protection on such an errand or' mere v.
A cable;;rain said tho Turkish government
wished to know to what points in
Armenia I desired to go with that relief.
In our reply four cities wore named,
cue of them tho scene of what had
been tho chief massacre. A cablegram
came from Constantinople saying that I
had better send the money to the Turkish
government's mixed commission,
and they would distribute it. So a cobweb
of spiders proposed a relief committee
for unfortunate files. Well, a
man who would start up through tho
mountains of Armenia with $50,000
and no governmental protection would
bo guilty cf monumental foolhardiness.
Tho Turkish government has in every
possiblo way hindered Armenian relief.

! It was comparatively of little importance
that the German emperor decorated
her with the Iron Cross, for God hath
decorated her in the sight of all nations
with a glory that neither time nor eternity
can dim. Born in a Massachusetts
village, she c-amo in her girlhood to this
city to serve our government in the patent
office, but afterward wont forth
from the doors of that patent office with
a divine patent signed and sealed by
God himself to heal all the wounds she
could touch and make the horrors of the
flood and tiro and plague and hospital
fly her prosence. God bless Clara Burton!
Just as I expected, she lifts the
banner of the Red Cross, Turkey and
all natiuus uro pledged to respect and
defend that Red Cross, although that
ec-lor of cress does not, in the opinion of
many, stand for Christianity. In my
opinion it does stand for Christianity,
for was not the cross under which most
of us worship red with the blood of the
Son of God, red with the best blood that
was over shed, red with the blood poured
cut for the ransom of the world?
Then lead on, oh, Red Cross, and let
| Clara Barton carry it! The Turkish government
is bound to protect her, and
the chariots of God are 20,000 and their
charioteers pro angels of deliverance,
and they would all ride down at once to
roll over and trample under the hoofs cf
their white horses any of her assailants.
May the $500,000 she seeks be laid at
her feet! Then may the ships that carry
her across Atlantic and Mediterranean
seas bo guided safely by him who trod
into sapphire pavement bestcrmed Galilee.
Upon soil incarnadined with martyrdom
let the Red Cross bo planted until
every demolished village shall be rebrilded
and every pang of hunger be fed
and every wound of cruelty be healed
and Armenia stand with as much liberty
to serve God in itsowu way as in this

The Cry of Duty.
It lias been said that if W9 go over
tbero to interfero en another continent
that will imply tho right for other nations
to interfere with affairs on this
continent, and so the Monroe doctrine
ho jeopardised. No, no! President
Cleveland expressed the sentiment of
every intelligent and patriotic American
when lie thundered from the White
House a warning to all nations that
thero is not one acre or cno inch more
of ground on this continent for any
transatlantic government to occupy.
And by that doctrine we stand now and
shall forever stand. But there is a doctrine
as much higher than the Monroe
doctrine as the heavens aro higher than
the earth, mid that is the doctrine of
bumanitarianism and sympathy and
Christian helpfulness which one cold
December midnight, with loud and
multitudinous chant, awakened tho
shepherds. Wherever there is a wound it
is our duty, whether as individuals or
as nations, to balsam it. Wherever there
is a knife of assassination lifted it is
cur duty to -ward off the blade. Wherever
men aro persecuted for their religion
it is our duty to break that arm of
power, whether it be thrust forth from
a Protestant church, or a Catholic cathedral,
or a Jewish synagogue, or a
mcsque of Islam. We all recognize the
right ca a small scale. If, going down
tho road, we find a ruffian maltreating
a child, or a human brute insulting a
woman, we take a hand in the contest
if we are not cowards, and though we
be slight in personal presence, becauso
of our indignation we come to weigh
about 20 tons, and the harder we punish
the villain the louder cur conscience applauds
us. In such case we do not keep
I cur hands in our pockets, arguing that
j if we interfere with the brute the brute
| might think he would have a right to
I interfere with us, and s-; jeopardize the
Monroe doctrine. The fact is that that
persecution of tho Armenians by the
Turks must be stopped, or God Almighty
will curse all Christendom for
its damnable indifference and apatny.
But the trumpet cf resurrection is about
to 60und for Armenia.
American Sympathy.
Did I say in opening that on one of
j the peaks of Armenia, this very Aimej
nia of which we speak, in Noah's time
; the ark landed, according to the myth,
! as some think, but according to God's
| "say so," as I know, and that it was aft'
er a long storm of 40 days and 40 nights,
called the deluge, and that afterward a
dovo wont forth from that ark and returned
with an olive leaf in her beak?
Even so now there is another ark being
j launched, but this cue goes sailing not
! over a deluge cf water, but a deluge cf
I blood?the ark of American sympathy
?and tint ark, landing on Ararat, from
: its window shall fly the dovo of kind'
ness and peace to find the olive leaf of
I returning prosperity, while all the
