We give the following abstract Of
DE- Hamliu's address, which was too late
for last week:
"TAe address Of DE-. llamlIu, on
! Wednesday evening OF last week, was
attended by an audience OF over one
/ hundred, called together on few hours
notice. lie spoke Of the Progress OF
/ Education aud Christianity Ia the Turkish
( Empire during the last thrty-siN years
/ When he first went 70 that country be
/ found the people holding on To the ancient
oriental civilization, thinking the same
/ thoughts following the same manners
aud customs, using the same rude plow,
aud willingly subject 20 the same social
and civil bondage as 10 the days OF Abra-
/ ham. They had schools bat the single
master Of two hundred pupils, who were
closely packed ia a small room, sitting
/ upon the floor from early morning till
dark, who had only the apparatus Of a

letters and sentences inscribed upon a
/ large card upon the wall. They were
about as well acquainted with their own
native tongue, the Turkish, at the close
as at the beginning OF their education.
Their religious service consisted largely
of picture worship, and had little in
/ luence on their moral character or con-
duct Now schools Of various grades
abound, teaching in the languages in com
mon use and giving instruction in the
advanced sciences OF the age. About
fifty newspapers are published in Con-
stantinople, thirty or more being issued
daily, aud the press in its defence OF the
popular sentiments and rights is already
power which the government is com
PEELED to respect and eoncliate, These
and other wonderful and beneficial
changes in the heart of the eastern con-
tinent are among the fruits Of the wise
and faithful labor of the missionaries OF
the cross. The speaker made scarcely an
alusion TO own distinguished personal
services in behalf of education, practical
science, humanity and christian ciyili-
zation; but there vas genuine eloquenee
in bis quiet selfpossessed manner of
speaking and in his clear, numerous
statement of the wonderful facts and
noble principles involved in this great
movement. Perhaps no other man living
has worked so intelligently and efficiently
to inspire the great, dead East with the
spirit of the nineteenth century aud with
the light and liberty of the religion of
Christ as has Cyrus lIamlin. Before he
first went to Constantinople Mr. Hamin
came TO Dorset for wife, and married
tho estimable Henrietta A. l.. Jackson,
September Sd, 1888. She died in 1850,
aud her remains were buried on the shore
of the Bosphorus. Her visible monu-
ment in Dorset is her favorite tree,
"lIenrietta's Elm," often inquired for by
visitors and admired by all, and which in
creases in strength and grandeur from
year to year The bereaved mission
airy visited the old parsonage in 1856 and
now once again in just eighteen years
more, Whatever his future, he will not
have lived in vain, and his name viii
long be held in highest esteem.

The present season has been very
healthy in Dorset, except for the past
week or two there have been few cases
OF fever. The ground is becoming very
