CORINNA SHATTUCK— MISSIONARY
HEROINE

Sacrifice your personal rights but be like a rock for
your principles.” These words were the motto on a
hhand-made deck in an ancient city of Turkey-in-Asi
they reveal the spirit of the noble missionary who sat at this
desk many hours each day planning for her hundreds of
Armenian orphans.

{Al the world knows how Corinna Shattuck was true to
hher motto on that awful day of the massacre in Oorfa,
when she stood “like a rock” between a ferocious soldiery
nil hundreds of helpless fugitives.

Only her closest associates know with what persistence
she “sacrificed her personal, rights,” as she worked on half-
pay, with only one lung, for over twenty-five years at a

three days journey from the nearest missionary
“IE she had lived in the fifth century,” writes a friend,
‘the ascetic simplicity of her life would have surrounded her
head with an aureole and her memory with legends; only
you eannot put an aureole on a Puritan woman in a cotton
frock, and we are tired to death of legendary sanctity.”

Corinna Shattuck was born in Louisville, Kentucky, on
April 2st, 1848, of sterling New England ancestry. Left
fan orphan at four years of age, she was brought up by her
grandparents in Acton, Massachusetts. Here she learned
lessons of industry and strict economy, also the value of high
ideals and an earnest Christian faith. She became a teacher
