THE PBOPOS"D MEMORIAL CHURCH
AT CONSTANTINOPLE.

The subjoined document has been recently published
by the lion. Secretaries, who have given their aid to
the proposed scheme :
" During the continuance of the late war the sym-
pathy of the English people fur their gallant country
men in arms was exhibited by the mo,.t genuine and
substantial tokens of liberality and good-will. Toe hearts
of all alike, from the highest to the lowest, were stirred,
and contributions were freely sent to provide for the
wants of the soldier in the field, and for his comfort in
the hospital.
" A tend of unexampled a-runlet was gathered from
the whole British empire, fur the solace and support of
those whom war might leave widows and orphans.
" That war is now, by God's blessing, at an end ; but
one duty remains Ltd! to be performed. It is to erect a
monument to the gallant meu who have fallen in the
service of their country.
That monument, it has been decided, shall be in the
feria of a memorial church, to be erected at Constanti-
nople—a church which, while adapted to the solemn
worship of Almighty God, accorling to the English
ritual, shall, by its architectural style and character, be
worthy of the people who have raised it, and of the
dead whose memory it is designed to perpetuate.
"A site of ample extent has already been granted by
the liberality of the Sultan.

"It remains for a grateful people to do their part,
and the appeal may be confidently made to all in the
name of our common country. It will make its way,
however, more directly to the hearts of some than of
others. '

"1. It will be felt and acknowledged at once by the
compauioes•in-arms of those who have fallen, whether
in the field or on the deck. No sAdier or seaman
will refuse to raise the rac)rding stone' to a fallen
comrade. •

"2. The many, alas ! who have lost dear friends or
kinsmen in the war, will readily and thankfully avail
themselves of the opportunity to honour their memory
by a fitting expression of sorrow and affection.
" 3. A still larger class, learning that the memorial is
not to be a mere monumental structure, but a Christian
Church, will regard it as the worthiest thank offering to
Almighty God for the preservation of a father, husband,
son, or brother • from the sword or the pestilence, and
for the restoration cf peace to the world.
" 4. All Christians alike may fairly be called upon to
lend a hand in the erection and endowment of a church
which, if God favour the design, may be the means of
bringing under pastoral care and superintendence a con-
siderable number of our countrymen, for whom at pre-
,arit there is no available house of prayer, and who,
reckoning the crews of the ships lying in the harbour,
and the traders awl agents on shore, are, to the extent
of many hundreds,* practically without the ministration
of religion.
"For this large and increasing class it is intended to
maintain two chaplains, who wilt be selected by a board of
examiners nominated by the Archbishops of Canterbury
and York and the Bishop of ',Oudot! (according to Bye-
Law Pi of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel),
and licensed by the Bishop of Gibraltar. One clergyman
so selected and licensed (the 11,.v. Chas. G. Curtis, late As-
sistant-Master of the Charterhouse) has already commences
his labours at the port of Constantinople:
" EDMUND LYONS, Admiral, G.C.B.
" F. E. CHAPMAN, Colonel, C.B. Hon,
" G. It. GLEIG, Chaplain-General. Sees.
" ER:TEST HAWKINS, B. D., Sec., S. P. G.

* The Bishop of Gibraltar estimates the number of En-
glish residents at Constantinople, previous to the war, at
500 or GOO, and the number of seamen visiting it during
the year at 2,000 ; but a large increase in the number of
both classes may now be expected.
