Armenia and Her People; or, The Story of Armenia by an Armenian
Filian, George H.
Armenia; Armenian question
In a word, Armageddon is the combination of three different words,
Armenia--Garden--Eden: Armageddon.
So the final battle will be fought in Armenia. The nation with the
greatest part will have the greatest future. As man fell from grace
in Armenia, man will be restored to peace and holiness in Armenia. And
before that peace, holiness, and restoration come, the greatest battle
will be fought in Armenia. After the fall of man, disgrace and curse
went forth from Armenia; so prosperity and blessings will come forth
from Armenia. As the first battle in the world was fought in Armenia,
between Cain and Abel, and the other battles followed, so the last
battle will be fought in Armenia, and the universal peace will come
out of it. As the first martyrdom in the world was in Armenia, so the
last and greatest martyrdom will be in Armenia. And from the blood of
Armenian martyrs everlasting happiness will follow to all nations. And
the kingdom of Christ will be established throughout the world.

POEMS ON THE ARMENIAN QUESTION.
[From the New York Independent, by special permission.]
LORD SALISBURY.
By the Rev. T. S. Perry.
"Oh! for a year, a month, a day of Oliver Cromwell."--The Independent.
"What Lord Salisbury seems to lack is a little Cromwellian courage."--A
Speaker in City Temple, London.
1.
Oh! for an hour of Cromwell,
For a leader brave and grand
To guide the wrath, and point the path,
Of a mighty Christian land!
To heed the cry of innocent blood,
To blush for the world's disgrace,
With hand to deal a blow of steel
In the murderous Moslem's face!
2.
Alas! for a leader heedless
While massacred villages flame,
Unmoved by shrieks of maidenhood
At wrong too foul for name!
Strong to throttle the feeble,
Feeble to beard the strong,
With eye o'er-meek, and blanching cheek,--
How long, O Lord, how long?
3.
And women cover their faces,
And men are fain to hiss.
Cromwell's head upon Temple Bar
Were a leader better than this!
And heaven grows black with horror,
And earth grows red with wrong,
And martyrs cry from earth and sky,
How long, O Lord, how long?
Orange Park, Florida.
DEUS VULT.
By Allen Eastman Cross.
"It is time that one general shout of execration--not of men, but
of deeds--one general shout of execration, directed against deeds of
wickedness, should rise from outraged humanity."--Gladstone's Armenian
address at Chester.
No tomb of death shall be our guest
Wherein the Lord of Life may rest.
No empty sepulcher of stone
Across the world makes bitter moan,
But Christian hearts that break and bleed
For our avenging pity plead.
O brothers, for our brothers' sake
Let the crusading spirit wake!
O Christian England, 'tis the Christ
By Moslem hands is sacrificed!
