cd, Mr.. p was for several years mis-.
sionary to Bulgaria, 10 Turkey, but has
been stationed in Georgia for five years
past, the NJ. Il. Church having with.
drawn from that field of missionary
labor, very unwisely, in the estimation
OF the speaker. During the 6rst of the
ten years he was in Bulgaria no acquir

translated the Testament aud had thou.
sands Of copies printed, aud distributed
amongthe people, who received it gladly
The Greek Church is the established
Church in Bulgaria, and although they
have proiessed to be Christians for a
thousand years, they had little or no
knowledge Of the Scriptures, for divine
service is conducted altogether in the
Greek language, and il is literally Greek
to the Turks, who do not understand il.
The Bishops of the Greek Church deem
II an offence to the Almighty to address
him in any other than the Greek tongue.
Hence they will use no other. MANY
of the Bishops and Archbishops receive
salaries of slOO, 900 per annum, which
are levied as taxes upon the people.
The Bishops appealed to the Pashas, or
Governors Of the Provinces, to suppress
the books distributed by the two Amer,
lean Missionaries, but they would not
interfere, and the people would not sur.
render their books ut the command Of
the Bishops, but read them and reyer
enced the doctrines inculcated. The
speaker thought that if Turkey in Eu.
rope had not been abandoned, that
Christianity would have spread there
aud dourished as greatly as it has iu
Asiatic Turkey. When DR.. Dwight,
oae OF the pioneers Of missionary labor,
first visited that country, he found not
one Christian, in the whole course Of
his travels. Thirty years later he
Travelled all over that country again, aud
lodged each night in the house Of Il
Christian brother. Indeed the speake
saidthat 10 Asiatic Turkey, Christianity
already had the mastery over Nahome,
tanism, and would ere long push it out
altogether. The Moslem influence is
crumbliug, and the Ottoman Empire is
tottering to decay. Even now it would
fall, were it not upheld by Western
Europe. The father of Mr.. prettyman
was many years ago stationed on Liber.
ty circuit, which embraced this part of
Carroll county, aud ministered in the
old Church which yet stands in the
Westminster Cemetery, then known as
Union Church, and was used by differ
ent denominations.
