Dwight before the ladies of the auxiliary OF

Attendance was small on account of the Sc
we're storm, but all who came felt richly re-
warded in listening to Mr.. Dwight. His
subject, "By-paths of Missionary Life" was
well illustrated with interesting incidents
taken from his experience Of thirty years
work in Turkey Mr.. Dwight spoke of the
suspicious attitude of Il g government, and
the inability Of the Turkish mind to under
stand religion as a matter of the heart and
conduct as two great obstacles to mission
airy work in Turkey. He also showed how
missionary influence had permeated life
and thought in the Orient, and spoke of the
protection of life and the immense relief
work due to the American missionaries at
the time OF the massacres and ever since.
Mr.. Dwight knows the Turkish language
both spoken and written better almost than
any other" foreigner" and better indeed than
many Turks. His study of Turkish law,
and his kno Wedge Of Turkish ways made
him the diplomatic agent in way for the
| mission whenever it was necessary to ask
the government for permission for various
enterprises. Mr.. Dwight's experiences in
this line have been unusual and his presen-
taton Of missionary life is very interesting.
A social hour followed the address. A col
lection of shout S13 was taken up.
