A N O B L E A R M Y A . m o n g t h e m a n y letters coming to the editor’s desk there recently arrived an espepially significant one from an Armenian friend. She wrote to tell what a blessing the Biola radio broadcasts are in her own life and home. She related that, while listening to a recent broadcast on the "Congo Report,” which told o f the massacres o f Christians in that area o f Africa, her memory took her back to 1915, when during the first World War, the Armeni ans were put through the same persecutions. Over one and a half million o f them paid with their lives because they refused to renounce their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. This writer well remembers reading o f these massacres when he was but a young lad in his early teens. At that time Armenia seemed so far away and completely removed from the everyday life in this country and the "terrible Turks” was simply a phrase quite devoid o f real significance to most o f us o f that younger generation. This is the fiftieth anniversary o f the great massacres o f the Armenians which took place during the opening months o f World War I. Because o f this significant anniversary year, all Armenians and, indeed, Christians everywhere would do well to consider the sacrifice that was paid by that "noble army, men and boys, the matron and the maid,” who refused to renounce the Lord Jesus Christ and embrace Mohammendanism, choosing to die by the sword rather than to deny their Saviour. Hardly an Armenian in the United States today does not look back with respectful and loving memory to a loved one who paid the full sacrifice with his life for his faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. This dear Armenian friend o f Biola continues in her letter: "M y husband was one o f those victims. The last time I saw him, he was being driven into a valley with his hands tied in the back and chained to twelve others in the same convoy, simply because we would not give up our faith and accept the Mohammedan religion. I know he is in glory now, but his last words o f testi mony have never faded away from my memory. They were, 'My dear, if we look at this with human viewpoint, it is an un bearable tragedy, but when we turn our eyes to Christ, our love. and our faith in Him will constrain us to say His will be done.
