Europe (search for this): chapter 26
13. .. . Head desperately bad in the morning. .. Have done no good work to-day, brain being unserviceable. Did, however, begin a short screed for my speech at Unitarian Festival. The Round Table was most interesting. Rev. S. J. Barrows read a carefully studied monograph of the Greek struggle for liberty. Mr. Robinson, of the Art Museum, spoke mostly of the present desperate need. I think I was called next. I characterized the Turks as almost ferae naturae. Spoke of the low level of European diplomacy. Said that we must fall back upon the ethical people, but hope for a general world movement making necessary the adoption of a higher level of international relation — look to the religious world to uphold the principle that no religion can henceforth be allowed to propagate itself by bloodshed. May 18. A lecture at Westerly, Rhode Island .... My lameness made the ascent of steps and stairs very painful.... May 22. Heard a delightful French Conference and reading from M. L

oor. So here I sit, growly and bad, but obliged to acquiescence in W.'s sentence.... Affect., Muz-wuz. To Maud 241 Beacon Street, June 4, 1897. Dearest dear child, First place, darling, dismiss from your mind the idea that reasonable people to-day believe that the souls of men in the pre-Christian world were condemned and lost. The old religions are generally considered to-day as necessary steps in the religion of the human race, and therefore as part of the plan of a beneficent Providence. The Jews were people of especial religious genius, producing a wonderful religious literature, and Christianity, which came out of Judaism, is, to my belief, the culmination of the religious sense of mankind. But Paul himself says, speaking to the Athenians, that God hath not left himself without a witness, at any time. I was brought up, of course, in the old belief, which I soon dismissed as irreconcilable with any idea of a beneficent Deity. As for the doctrine of regeneration, I t

Regiment came on and marched beautifully; our Cadets marched about as well. There was also a squad from our battleships, two of which were in the harbor. At twelve o'clock we all went to Music Hall where they sang my Battle Hymn. The Governor and Mayor and Colonel Harry Lee spoke. Willie James gave the oration and Booker Washington really made the address of the day, simple, balanced, and very eloquent. I had a visit yesterday from Larz and Isabel [Anderson]. He told me much about you. Darling, this is a very poor letter, but much love goes with it. Affectionate Mothere. June 6.... Have writ a note to little John Jeffries, aet. six years, who sent me a note in his own writing, with a dollar saved out of five cents per week, for the poor Armenians. He writes: I don't like the Turks one bit. I think they are horrid. Have sent note and dollar to A. S. B. for the Armenian orphans. June 27, Oak Glen. My first writing in this dear place. Carrie Hall yesterday moved me down

stly of the present desperate need. I think I was called next. I characterized the Turks as almost ferae naturae. Spoke of the low level of European diplomacy.

May 18. A lecture at Westerly, Rhode Island .... My lameness made the ascent of steps and stairs very painful.... May 22. Heard a delightful French Conference and reading from M. Louis. Had a fit of timidity about the stairs, which were high and many; finally got down. Had a worse one at home, where could not get up the staircase on my feet, and had to execute some curious gymnastics to get up at all. May 25. My knee was very painful in the night, and almost intolerable in the morning, so sent for Wesselhloeft, who examine

, Mifflin & Company, that they should publish my Reminiscences. ... I accepted, but named a year as the shortest time possible for me to get such a book ready. .. As a matter of fact, it took three years for her to complete the Reminiscences. During these years, while she made it her principal literary work, it still had to take its chance with the rest, to be laid down at the call of the hour and taken up again when the insistence of screed or poem was removed: this while in Boston or Newport. During the Roman winter, soon to be described, she wrote steadily day by day; but here she must still work at disadvantage, having no access to journals or papers, depending on memory alone. May 7. Question: Cannot we follow up the Parliament of Religions by a Pan-Christian Association? I will try to write about this. May 19. Had sought much for light, or a leading thought about what I ought to do for Armenia.... Wrote fully to Senator Hoar, asking his opinion about my going abroad

eserts and performances in the past — a burden which often weighs heavily upon me.... April 2. Conservatory of Music, 3 p. M. I went in fear and trembling with a violent bronchial cold and cough, in a miserable storm. I prayed all the way there that I might be pleasant in my demeanor, and I think that I was, for my trouble at having to run such a risk soon went out of my mind, and I enjoyed the occasion very much; especially meeting pupils from so many distant States, and one or two from Canada. April 8. .... I asked in my prayer this morning, feeling miserably dull and weak, that some deed of help and love might be given me to accomplish to-day. At noon came three gentlemen, Hagop Bogigian, Mr. Blanchard, and Mr. Breed, of Lynn, praying me to make an appeal to the women of America for their Armenian sisters, who are destroying themselves in many instances to avoid Turkish outrage. The funds subscribed for relief are exhausted and some new stimulus to rouse the public is much

in my lecture. What, I could not tell. November 1. The Communion service was very delightful. I prayed quite earnestly this morning that the dimness of sight, which has lately troubled me, might disappear. My eyes are really better to-day. I seemed at one moment during the service to see myself as a little child in the Heavenly Father's Nursery, having played my naughty pranks (alas!) and left my tasks unperformed, but coming, as bedtime draws near, to kiss and be forgiven. To Maud Rokeby, Barrytown, N. Y., December 25, 1896. My own dearest, I am here according to promise to spend Christmas with Daisy. Mrs. Winthrop Chanler. I occupy Elizabeth Chanler's room, beautifully adorned with hangings of poppy-colored silk. . . . All of us helped to dress the tree, which was really beautiful. The farm people came in at about six o'clock, also the old tutor, Bostwick, and the Armstrong cousins. After dinner, we had a fiddler in the hall. Alida danced an Irish jig very prett

sense must be adhered to, in all circumstances. ... To the same 241 Beacon Street, April 18, 1896. ... If you go to Russia, be careful to go as Mrs. John Elliott, not as Maud Howe Elliott. Your name is probably known there as one of the friends of Free Russia, and you might be subjected to some annoyance in consequence. You had better make acquaintance with our minister, whoever he may be. The Russians seem now to have joined hands with the Turks. If the American missionaries can only be got rid of, Russia, it is said, will take Armenia under her so-called protection, and will compel all Christians to join the Greek Church. There is so much spying in Russia that you will have to be very careful what you talk about. I rather hope Russia that you will have to be very careful what you talk about. I rather hope you will not go, for a dynamite country is especially dangerous in times of great public excitement, which the time of the coronation cannot fail to be. ... April 20. F. J. Garrison called and made me an offer, on the part of Houghton, Mifflin &

I've got bravely over it, and I submit to health, comfort, delightful books, young company and good friends. Edifying, ain't it? ... September 15. In the cars, reading the Duke of Argyll's fine opuscule, Our [England's] Responsibilities for Turkey, my heart was lifted up in agonized prayer. I said, O God! give me a handwriting on the wall, that I may truly know what I can do for these people. And I resolved not to go back from the purpose which prompted this prayer. Arrived at St. Jo:-- The Buffalo lies in his lonely lair, No friend nor agent visits him there. She was lame at the time, and I had once called her, by mistake, Mrs. Buffalo. Well, perfidious William, Dr. Wesselhoeft. rivalling in tyranny the Sultan of Turkey, has forbidden me to leave this floor. So here I sit, growly and bad, but obliged to acquiescence in W.'s sentence.... Affect., Muz-wuz. To Maud 241 Beacon Street, June 4, 1897. Dearest dear child, First place, darling, dismiss from you
