Mr. WHITE, of Marsovan, reports a visit made by Miss Gage and himself to the city of Zille, the first made by any of the missionaries since the massacres of a year ago:— “We lodged in the building used as church, school, and parsonage, unpretentious in appearance, but the most inviting spot in the unkempt city. The inquiries of the young preacher drew attention to the fact that each member of his class of six, who graduated from the seminary two years ago, is at his work as a preacher, usefully working, we trust. “We had a constant stream of callers, when we were not making calls ourselves. Three candidates for church-membership were examined, one a young man, about whom one item of testimony was that at the time of the massacre, when another young man was dragged out of the same house and killed, this one begged his mother not to save his life at the expense of a lie; the second, an elderly woman, had been drawn by the matchless invitation, ‘Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy-laden,’ and her faith was simple and touching; the third, a sister of the preacher, and partly educated in our girls’ school, had grown into a Christian life. I preached at the usual services to audiences of nearly 400 and 300, the usual maximum being 50. The morning audience included an average of one from every Armenian house in the city. At this service the Lord’s Supper was celebrated. On Monday Miss Gage had a meeting with 100 women and girls. Such audiences indicate great friendliness and religious inquiry. “The pall of the massacre hung over everything, for Zille had the worst massacre of the six in our field. Three hundred houses out of 400, and 200 shops were stripped, and about 150 men and boys killed. The alternative of Islam was freely offered, and two were found to accept. Two members of our church were slain. Seven out of ten Protestant houses were picked clean as a bone, and all the Protestant shops. The other three houses were not touched, simply because they were too poor already to invite plunder. The church was spared, partly because there was a vague idea that it was ‘English’ property, principally because of the personal friendship of Turkish neighbors for the preacher and his family. Except for their bare houses, our Protestant friends are practically worse than penniless, for the debts that some merchants carried in more prosperous times, are more than enough to swallow up the pickings and leavings of property, with which the government requires them to reopen their shops. Their business integrity in this catastrophe has won the admiration of all, and honored their evangelical faith. “Considerable sums have been wisely distributed in relief by the Evangelical Church Committee, sums intrusted to missionary care. We have also been able to provide funds, with which thirty-one looms are now running, turning out gingham, for which there is a ready sale, at or above cost. We were able to arrange for doubling the capacity of this little plant, which will be a great boon to the poor, as almost every house has its loom. We also gathered up and brought home with us six orphan girls, and one boy about nine years of age, who will be cared for on our premises, and attend school either here or at the Protestant church in the city.”—Missionary Herald.
