HELP THE ARMENIANS Within the past year or two most! of the leading religious denominations in this country have made successful financial drives throughout the North, East, West and South, thereby securing millions upon millions of money or pledges for the payment of money, which is ostensibly for use in missionary work, with a large percentage of the monumental total being allotted for service in foreign lands. This country has before it now, as it has for some time past, the Armenian or Near East relief question which calls upon the people for 1 ? -11 ?? 4a WA m fkn luurt riuiiivud \aj uc uow iu ?mv alleviation of their suffering, chiefly caused by the persecutions of the inhuman Turks. In each of the drives by the various denominations a maximum t 4 amount, was fixed as a goal that must be reached. In every case this goal'was readied and the maximum greatly exceeded. Now it does seem to a great many, and we thoroughly concur in the belief, that at least the amounts reached in excess of those fixed by the several denominations as their respective goal, should at once be donated to the cause of the Armenians and their relief, from all accounts, from the most horrifying conditions that ever confronted a Christian people. " ** ?vy*r.piiklA fkof A mnri*. l/I Id II* |A/CO!UiV WM>v ? can Christians would prefdr to hold on to their surplus millions and allow our brothers in the faith to continue in misery, starvation, and persecu"'tions by a race that money nor service will ever be able to convert to Christianity and true civilazation. By the way would it not be wise, at least charitable for us to curtail our expenditures in the mission fields of China and Japan for a time at least* and pass the millions of dollars being spent there on to the more worthy and Christ-like followers of Gregory since the fourth century. They will appreciate the charity of their Chris-' tian kindred, while wiffi the Orientals it is largely a matter of high priced v extravagance. * : IDt Armciuou ICUCl Uli?t 10 vuauu -we have doubtless been liberal in our donations to the cause, but not as liberal as we have been in our giving to the drives instituted and relentlessly waged by our respective churches or denominations, and the reason is simply because we are too widely separated from those people. We cannot see and (enow their suffering as it is, they are not at our doors. Yet the call for assistance is just as urgent, but many of us have given to the various drives until we are about to be driven to the wall?the limit has been reached. No finer field was ever open to American churches, Christians, Red Cross workers, and other missionary bodies than is offered by the Armenian situation. If we can't spend some of ^ur surplus millions on them let's spend it in one great effort to annihilate the infernal Turks and make Armenia safe for future generations. Life is like a child pursuing the rainbow. In the child's hand is a peppermint stic'c. Every little while the child must stop and rest. With each rest it nibbles at its candy and forgets " the rainbow for a little while. The rainbow that men pursue is the thing called Happiness. It i3 ever elusive, it is never captured because like the rainbow it exists only in the mind. The rainbow changes its appearance and location as the eye changes its position?and Happiness changes as the mind does. What was looked forward to as the greatest Happiness when we were \ . * - twenty would not attract us for a moment at forty. The peppermint stick, however, is real. It is food and shelter and cloth-j < ing and occupation. It has stripes like ] the rainbow and as we enjoy it we j say we are hap.... But always we dis- i cover that the rainbow after all is j the real Happiness and we begin ] again to pursue it. Happiness is expectation, to be al- 1 ways striving, that is Happiness, j1 Only when we cease to pursue, only |. when we look back and see that real- ] ization never brought the joyous thrill ] we expected, only then do we become ] unhappy. , So long as we press on, still hoping , and expecting that the nexfr realiza- ( ] tion will be all that we dreamed, we \ ] remain happy. To some this will seem ] a statement that Happiness is only t an illusion and that it is ioonsn vu pursue a rainbow. Be it so. Think ' what you will. But before you realize , it you will be dreaming, hoping, ex- ] pecting once again. , It is the will to live that leads you < on, the will to get somewhere, the , eternal desire. You can only escape , it by dying and even at the last mo- , ment it will likely beckon to you and , the last expiring flicker of intelli- ] gence will be hope that it is only 1 Sleep and Death that calls. , ===== 1 Concerning Man, Shakespeare said: J "What a piece of work is man! How ? noble in reason! How infinite in fac- ' ulties! In form and moving, how ad- J mii-able! In action, how like an angel! In apprehension, how like a god!" ; ' This will serve as a preface to < Mark Twain's opinion of man. Take ? your choice. Mark Twain said: i' "Man can't sleep ou-of-doors with . .. out freezing to deatn or geiung uu: rheumatism; he can't keep his nose J under water over a'minute without being drowned. He's the poorest, 1 clumsiest excuse of all the creatures < that inhabit this earth. J "He has got to be coddled, housed ' and swathed and bandaged to be able * to live at all. He is a rickety sort of, J a thing any way you take him, a < regular British Museum of infirmities and inferiorities. 11 "He is always undergoing repairs. 1 A machine unreliable as he is would 1 have no market ' y'The higher animals get their J teeth without pain or inconve%ience. 1 Man's come through months of cruel torture, at a time when he is least1 able to bear it As soon as he gets i them they must be pulled out again. J The second set will answer for a I while, but he will never get a set that 1 ran be depended on till the dentist makes one. 1 "Man starts in as a child and lives on disease to the end,^as a regular] diet He has mumps, measles, scarlet * ?wHin fnnfti- ' lever, wuvvyiug wubu, uv?r, litis, diphtheria, as a matter of course. ( "Afterward, as he goes along, his life continues to be threatened at every turn by colds, coughs, asthma,! bronchitis, quinsy, consumption, yellow fever, blindness, influenza, carbuncles, pneumonia, softening of the ^ brain, and a thousand other maladies of one sort and another. "He's just a basketful of pestilent corruption, provided for the support. and entertainment of microbes. Look '! | at the workmanship of him in some,1 of its particulars. 1 < "What is his appendix for? It has j no value. Its sole interest is to lie and 1 < wait for stray grape-seeds and breed ] trouble. , 1 "What is beard for? It is just a,( nuisance. All nations persecute it with j ( the razor. Nature, however, always, | keeps him supplied with it, instead i of putting it on his head. "A man wants to keep his hair. It ( is a graceful ornament, a comfort, ( the best protection against weather, j i and he prizes it above emeralds and |' rubies, and half the time Nature puts' ] it on so it won't stay. j < "Man isn't handsome, as compar- } ed with the birds; and as for style, ! 1 look at the Bengal tiger?that ideal ] of graje, physical perfection, and, ] majesty. ; t "Think of the lion and the tiger * and the leopard, then think of man? t that poor thing!?the animal of the { wig, the ear-trumpet, the glass eye, I "* the porcelain teeth, the wooden leg, j8 the silver wind-pipe?a creature that j is mended all over from top to bot- f torn". 11 Look for ad of Sample Store on j other page. 2-12-3t! o 11 Secretary Lane, of the Department j of the Interior has placed his resigna- c tion, effective, March 1st, in the hands t of President Wilson. 0 ji Work on the new modern reservoir, c c at Florence has been started, and is * being pushed as rapidly as possible.
