As showing the spirit of the meet- ing both toward Dr. Barton, who him- self 'lived for seven years in Turkey among Armenians, and toward the Board of which he is now Foreign Secretary, we quote a few sentences from an address prepared by ‘Dr. H. S. Jelalian, of Boston. He alluded to Dr. Barton as a ‘missionary states- man who has always stood like a rock for theé defence of the inalienable rights of our persecuted race;” as one who “understands our history, our national heroism in keeping up our Christian faith, our virtues and our statesmen, philantropists - and devout Christian workers thosé pioneer mis- sionaries were The - greatest ' mis- sionary that the American Board sent to Turkey was Cyrus was an empire builder. ‘were hungry, he gave us bread, when we were sick, he gave ‘us medicine. ‘When we were thirsty for knowledge and education, he gave us a magnifi- cent institution of. learning on the Bosphorous, which wil ever shine as a beacon light of the glorious Angloy Saxon civilization to the teeming mil- lions of the Orient.
