the scene to confirm the truth of hia

Mr». Rambo Tells af Bsperhmqe la

Rev- and Mr». Rambo, former Em
mett people, the former having been
pastor of the Christian church here
for several years, are engaged in
near Cast relief work In Asia Minor,
and in a letter to the World Call, Mrs.
Rambo relates some of their exciting
and dangerous experiences, which is
given below;
"Up to the present we have had a
wonderful opportunity for service.
We have been in charge of an orphnn
age up in the Anunui mountains be
tween Adana and Aleppo, an institu
tion which had been turned 'over to
the Americans by the Germans. It
is a splendidly equipped building, in
most beautiful spot on the hillside,
six miles from the Bagdad or Anato
ban railroad station. We had with us
nearly 900 children. About the mid
die of January we began to be attack
cd by bandits who were lurking
around the i village. They attacked
and killed on March 1, two men who
had been sent out for wood. Quite a
number of French were garrisoned in
the village to protect us. On March
15 real fighting began, the French
and Armenians on ene side and the
Turks an the other. We bad to keep
the children for two weeks during tha
day
Mr. Rambe want out in the night un
der fHle ftre to see the governor. He
sent in a large force of men and they
removed tho children and all the help
era. We were in the house when the
bullets were whining through the
doors and windows, but none of the
children was harmed, although a num
ber of the Armenians and F rear h
wer» killed and many wounded. Wef
same down to Adana and Mr. Kamt»
worked very hard to get the childlpn
ost of Turkoy before Adana was be
sieged. The last of the 800 have bean
sent to the Island of Cyprus. wh«r#

"We ourselves tried to go to Con
stantinopta for work among the refu
gees there, but we found that the
railroad had been cut and bridges da
stroyed so we are really prisoners of
war. We are staying with Miss Wehb
in her school for girls, and if you cate

that we are alive and well at this tim«,
