coNsrANTTNoPLE.

TIE following extract of a letter from
Mr.. S. Calhoun, missionary at Constant
1pple, shows the darkness and superstition
which prevail in the Greek church. The
awful apostacy Of the churches where the
gospel was first preached, furnishes a strik,
ing illustration of the tendency of the hu-
man heart to depart from God, as exhihti-
ed by the Apostle Paul, in his first chap
ter to the Romans, in giving an account
of the introduction of idolatry into the
world. The whole is traced to the fact,
that they "did not like to retain the knowl.
edge of God" and therefore he permitted
them to sink into the deplorable darkness:
of heaihenism. What a warning 10 such
nation as this Boston PGd0baptist]
