EUROPEAN TURKEY.

The report of the committee, to whom was
referred the mission in European Turkey, was
presented by Rev. e. FL. Byington of Monson,
Mass. The report states that the work has
been carried forward during the year with
wisdom and success. Refers to the changes
which have taken place since Turco-Russian
war, and the positions the board has taken, re-
moving some of the greatest obstacles to the
development of the Bulgarian people The
Bulgarians are making rapid strides in INTEL
lectual end political progress, second only to
the Japanese. The next ten years will do
much to determine whether this progress is to
be secular or Christian. Our mission has had
foundation for exerting an important infiu-
ence at this crisis in the history of the nation.
1t refers to three points of special interest-the
training school at Samokov, the native Evan.
gelical society, which is of the nature of a
home missionary association, and which works
in entire harmony with the mission, and the
eigious press.
Prince Alexander, the new ruler Of Bulga-
ria, is d Protestant, and is friend of the mis-
sion. His chaplain at Sofia, the capital has
also taken much interest in the work of the
mission. He is to build a Lutheran church
next year, and has already offered the use OF
1t to the Bulgarian Protestants. Altogether
the outlook for this mission is far more hopeful
than ever before. The report was accepted.
Remarks followed by Rev. James F. Clark
of that mission.
Mr.. Robbins of Iowa, read from the ninth
chapter of Luke-The OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
ed by remarks. 1t seemed to him that at the
meetings of the Board, we were lifted more
than at other times to the mount of ttansfig-
uration, and could realize in some measure the
glory of the master. and feel the force of the
great truths in which we have special inter-
est as his followers, and as laborers in the field
| in which we are called by him towork. Here,
as nowhere else, seems the conversion of a
world possible.
Prayer and remarks followed, with great
promptness and earnestness. Among those
voices heard, were Rev. w s. Palmer Of Nor

serfdom among the Bulgarians gave an i'm
