In 1905, an 11-year-old prophet warned ‘the Christians in Ar- menia of a forth-coming mass- acre. The prophecy inclided detailed maps and drawings directing the way to Los Angeles, Calif., which was to be the destination of a few hun- dred refugees. Another group of Arme- nians used-an escape route to Siberia and later resettled in China. This group later left China just prior to the Com- munist revolution and migrated to. Australia. ‘Three years ago, the group “which had held together for three generations was prompt- _ ed to move to the Vernon area “of B.C.
