"One of the agencies upon which the Russian Emperor
appears most confidently to rely in carrying out his
schemes against Turkey is the Greek Church In this
there is good reason to hope that he has deceived him
SELF The Greek Church is by means the influential
element in the society Of the Ottoman Empire that many
have imagined. The distinction between the Greek
and the Greek Church in Turkey must be steadily kept
in view. The latter embraces great majority of the
Christian subjects Of the Porte the former ncon

enlightenment and moral elevation of the christian
churches within its domnions and much has been done
of late years by missonare, from Western Europe and
America not to withdraw the Christians Of Turkey from
their respective churches but the seeds OF purer
and more vital christianity in those churches. We're
