Turkey, central Turkey and western
Turkey. In European Turkey the chief
missionary stations are at Salonica, the
expected point of attack of the Greek
feet recently; Monastir, which is west
of Salonica, at the base of the Balkan
mountains; Philippopols. which is in
the interior. northeast of Salonica, and
EamoLor, which is just northwest OF
Philippopolis. The two latter places are
reached by railroad connecting di-
rectly with Constantinople, where is
TIE general headquarters of the Ameri-
can board for all literary work. This
pffice is in charge of the venerable DR..

There Is one peculiar thing abou
missionary work IN Asiatic Turke,
which I think most people do not con
slider. The mission in Turkey is not t.
the Turks, but to the Armenians. TIL,
Turks have no objection to the intro
6uction of the Christian religion il
Turkey, though it is not acceptable t.
them; what they object to is the fac
that the missionaries, as they enlighter
the Armenians, stir IN them the spirit
; of instruction II the missionary worl
being done in Turkey had no connec
ton, direct OF indirect, with politics
there would be no difficulties in tha
path of missionaries.
II judge that in Macedonia there
would be no danger threatening the
missionaries or the missionary prop
erty. In Bulgaria the missionaries are
perfectly safe"
The field in which Mr.. Lounsbury la
bored was selall compared with the
Gcld which is covered by the mission
aries sent out by the American board.
The Methodist headquarters are in
Rustchuls, where there is a local preach

Bala, Selvi, Shumla, Silistria, Rahova.

Now Home" on Leave Are Being De-

Copyright, 1871

There isAsome fear on the part of the
American Board of Foreign Missions
inst thereewill be renewal of the mas
sacre OF Christians in various parts of
Turkey asa result of the war between
the Turks and the Greeks, and because
of this fear three missionaries who are
''home" in America, on leave, have been
requested not to return for the present.
Rev. W. A. Farnsworth and his wife
are now visiting relatives in Glen
Ridge, n. j. Mr. and Mrs. Farnsworth
have been engaged in missionary work
In Turkey for As years, and their station
Is at Caesarea. Mr.. Farnsworth, al
though aware of the possibilities in
VOWED in the increased Turkish hatred
Of the "Giaours" at this time, is anxious
TO return to his post. but the board con-
siders it inadvisable for him to do so.
Or. William S. Dodd, also of Caesarea
and absent on leave, is visiting relatives
In New York. Like Mr.. and Mrs. Farms
worth, he is ready TO return. but is be-
ing held TO await developments.
Only one appointment has been made
Tor Asiaac Turkey since the trouble
between Greece and Turkey began to
develop. On the 22d of February Rev.
Egbert s. Ellis, OF the Harpoot mis-
sion, died of a. chill. He had been only
three years in Turkey, but in those
three years heihad passed through the
Harpoot massacre, and its horrors, to-
gether with the increased work which

died the mission had just made requ;-

Heers, and, because of the urgent need

still laboring in Harpoot, Charles r.
Ashdown, of the Congregational COL
tege at Montreal, has been selected to
take Mr.. Ellis place.
It is at the missions in Asiatic Tur-
key that an outbreak is feared. There

The station at Constantinople is pro.
tected by the American legation there.
The missionaries at Philippopolis and
Samollov can escape on short notice by
rail to Corstantinpple. But the mis-
sionaries at Salonica would be under

.bardment; and the missionaries at
Monastir are without means of rapid
flight if flight should seem necessary.
The lives of the missionaries are not
SO much in danger as is the property
of the missions. There are collegiate
and theological institute at Samokov;
also a chapel and girls boarding
school. At Sophia, not far away, there
are church and parsonage. At Philip
popolis there are church and parson-
M4-,nc4,r -
boarding school and mission house.
At Salonica, which is new post, there
is very little property.
But the sum total of the property
owned by the missions in European
Turkey is inconsiderable compared with
the property owned in Asiatic Turkey.
The value of this is estimated at So
100000. Of course all this would be
in danger in case of rising of the
Turks and a massacre of the Ayneui.

such as may be furnished to them by
the Turkish government, urged to &C.

Until the granting of the demands OF
