The work Clara Barton did in Asia Minor, and which Col. Hinton designated as the Statesmanship of Philanthropy, was similar to the work along this line she did at the Sea Islands flood, in the Carolinas. The Author.
Clara Barton, in Asia Minor, has done a splendid work, sensibly and economically managed. Henry C. Dwight, D.D., American Board of Foreign Missions at Constantinople.
The difficulties of the work in Asia Minor, the perils and discomforts would surely have appalled a less courageous heart than Clara Barton’s. Jos. K. Greene, Resident Missionary in Armenia.
To Turkey and Armenia—a mission so difficult and perilous that all the world wondered, watched, waited, hoped and prayed for her success, and her safe return to her native land. W. H. Sears.

The principal nations of earth are bound together by the bands of the highest international law that must make war in the future less barbarous than it has been in the past. Clara Barton.
Bakashish is the substitute for our “tip” system. To make any headway in Turkey with a hoard of beggars, two words must be mastered: “Yok”—No; and “Hide-git”—Be off with you.
George H. Pullman, Secretary to Clara Barton in Turkey.
