raj permitted to pursue appropriate duties in
that humble sphere and quiet manner which be-
como us az followers Of Him who, while He went
about doing good, did not strive, nor cry. neither
did any man hear His voice in the streets. Our
mission in this great city of 100 900 inhabitants is
yet small. We are in the beginning of the work,
and thus far have been principally engaged in ac
curing the language; still our success has been
such as to show that here, elsewhere, the Lord
is faithful to the church in all His promises and
encourage US that, when she shall become duly
awakened to sense Of her duty, and perform it,
He will here pour out abundant blessing. Any
petty persecution to which adherents are liable
arises from the unlawful proceedings Of nominal
christians and the injustice Of arbitrary magis-
trates. The law Of the land tolorates u.s.
Some newspapers making too much OF the
fact that both Jews and Christians permitted to
sit in the city council. II lis great privilege lately
granted, and great advance on former times but
such show the contempt the Mahommedans
have for both. II is only the fear inspired by the
power Of Christian nations in the Old and New
Worlds that renders any safe. With this univer-
sally acknowledged we do not feel in much dan
ger. Wotrust in God that He has some good work
for US in field Of labor. Our citizenship of the
United States is as available here now as was the
Roman citizenship OF Paul in the days of that proud
oity's greatest fame The Turks are, in general
faithful to those citizens Of foreign countries residing
under their protection
We are all safe in the city. The villages all
around sending in their quota OF soldiers to the
government as the conscription goes on. Rumor
may have reached you that we are in greater dan
ger than the facts Of the case will bear out. We,
having by a residence Of several years become ac-
custoIned to such unsettled state of society
lists in this country, lose those feelings of alarm
which it at fret inspired.
"Be assured, sir. we shall ever remember with
grateful emotion the kind expressions ofyour sym.
pathy with US in privatons, in work of faith,
and labors of love in the Lord.
