# William A. Shedd on the Armenian / Assyrian Genocide

“It lies with us to see that the blood shed and the suffering endured are not in vain. May God grant and may we who know so well the wrongs that have been borne, so labor that the cause of these wrongs be removed. That will be done when Christ rules in the hearts of those who profess His name and is acknowledged by all, not merely as a great prophet but as the Saviour for Whose coming prophecy prepared the way, Who is the fulfillment of revelation, and in Whom human destiny will find its goal.” — Presbyterian missionary [**William A. Shedd**](/authors/william-ambrose-shedd) in [Mary L. Shedd](/authors/mary-lewis-shedd), *The Measure of a Man: The Life of William Ambrose Shedd, Missionary to Persia* (1922), p. 280
