ARMENIAN REPRESENTATIVE
RETURNING SOUTH
“My reception everywhere along
the coast has been most cordial,”
said the Rev. Thomas Jenkins, repre
senting the Armenian relief commit
tee, in an interview today, “and the
hospitality with which the various
towns have received their various
quotas for Armenan relief gives me
the highest assurance that Alaska’s
whole apportionment will be fully
subscribed. My coming to Alaska at
this time was entirely free from the
thought of pleasure, and my parish
in releasing me for the undertaking
did it from a deep sense of the need
and the thought that Alaska might
the more readily welcome the word
of an old sourdough.
“During the trip I have made some
twenty addresses, preached five times
and talked to literally hundreds of
people individually about Armenia
and her cry for help.
“I shall be glad to get back to my
home and family. I am, however, a
week later in returning than I had
planned—due to the tardiness of the
steamer.
“In October I am going East to de
troit to attend the general convention,
and this makes it the more urgent
that I should hurry back.
“What do I think of Alaska? you
ask. Well, everyone can see the war
has retarded its growth. But peace
times will bring people back; and,
given time, we shall see Alaska over
come its ice and polar bear reputa
ton. The very% resources of Alaska
guarantee her development. But a
good deal of education is necessary
both in Washington and among the
people in general.
“Of course, anyone who has ever
lived here always thinks of Alaska
for the fine comradeship and generos
ity of its people.”
