fruit of the blood of the martyrs and
of the protracted labors of enlight-

Church, carried away by this mighty
overwhelming torrent. But while

despair, beheld all the forms of earth
ly culture dashed in pieces by the
hands of barbarians, ,devout christians
held fast by the anchor of believing
hope, which raised them above all

firm standing ground In the midst of
the destroying waters. They knew
that though heaven and earth
might pass away, the word of the
Lord could not pass away; and these
words were to them, even when sur
rounded by death. an inexhaustible
source Of life. The existing ecclesi-

Roman Empire, necessarily perished

CoNsTANTINoPLE. The present
population of Constantinople is said
to be about one million, of whom
three hundred thousand are Chris
tians--all the others Mohommedans
of the most bigoted character. The
Moslems generally occupy the old
city-the old Byzantium-while the
Christians occupy the larger part of
Pera, and are scattered throughout
other suburbs of the city There is
no law compelling such separation,
but upon the well understood princi-
pie that birds of feather flock to-
gether," the Moslems keep by them
selves, and the Christians as far off as
circumsta nces will admit.
