| Description: | Back reads: "A Little Bit of my Biography. 'By the grace of God I am what I am.' Born near to Tarsus, Asia Minor, the birthplace of St. Paul. Have been an American citizen for 19 years now (1917), of which I am proud, because this is the greatest and best country of the world. Have preached as a pastor for 14 years to Armenians in Turkey, in large churches, with the membership from 600 to 1,000. Have preached and lectured six years in this country to American congregations. At present my wife and little boy, father, mother, 4 brothers and their families are exiled by the cruel and unspeakable Turks, and the American Consul in Aleppo, Turkey, writes me that they are in great need of money for their living. A Bried Extract From One of My Many Letters of Recommendation. From Rev. A.S. Hayt, D.D. Professor of Homiletics. Auburn Theological Seminary, Auburn, N.Y. The Rev. D.H. Rejy is a graduate of Auburn Seminary, the class of 1896. He is spending the present year as a graduate student in the Seminary. Mr Rejy is a trustworthy man, and has done faithful work. He is a good preacher in English. I heartily commend him to any church. January 1, 1915. Arthur S. Hayt." | Click to see large image
