out sincularly fresh and notwithstanding the intel
leotual ear, yet never drawing away from the idea
and rich in continual succession Of SMILES and pic
lures. His manner was excellent for such place
for the ost part easy, half coloquial, and and
then rising into strain of eoquence. The great and
marked quality the profound earncstness of the
man. This high tribute from an g." Orthodox source

THY OpIysf.L ARHEyIAs CHuRcH-M. Ubvni,
author Of the Letters on Turkey In recent num-
Der of the French AHeneum gives an account of
tory. traditions and liturgy. The work. it appears,

Count de Lazareff, of AL ancient Armenian family,

strength Of the Protestant body in France does not
exceed two millions, in q population of more than
thirtysx million; the latest reports allow it only one

srds or the Irish, but sufficiently prefer to any
form Of Protestantism They occupy, in this respect
n middle position between the Southern and Northern
nations of Europe.
