His Reign of Twenty-Five Year, Has
Been Marked with Progress.
Abdul Hamid, the Sultan Of Turkey,
who recently celebrated the 18th ami
versary Of his occupation Of the throne.
has had in many respects, a remark
able reign. The sultan found his
realms very uYrui"t and his enemies
so active that the early dissolution OF
Turkey was expected by most dipln-
mats. All this has been changed in
the face of the greatest difficulties
The first serious danger which threat
cned him was a complete destruction
of his empire by its most persistent
enemy, Russia; but the powers stepped
In, and he escaped with the loss Of
Batoum, KGrs and Bulgaria, aud. ~
the latter became Independent, Ru,-
sia's victory was somewhat barren.
The war, nevertheless, left Turkey in
q very exhausted state, and this fact
was taken advantage OF by England
to wrest Cyprus and Egypt from her.
The revolt in Eastern Rumelia. which
was afterward added to Bulgaria.
while the Sultan, under the most try
ing financial difficulties. had modern
lied his army. The Germans were
quick to note the military energy
which still remained in the apparently
decaying empire and some Of the best
Prussian talent, including the celebrat-
Field Marshal Won Moltko, assisted in
forming the Turkish army. Abdul
Hamid managed to obtain the personal
friendship of the present German en-
peror, and the entente thus created
must necessarily be a check to Russian
attacks upon the dOmiu.on5 Of either
sovereign. The attempt OF Greece to
wrest Macedonia from Turkey ended
in the speedy and complete defeat OF
the Greeks. and although the Sultan
was forced to relinquish Crete at the
demand Of all Europe. the prestige Of
Turkey really increased. The lesson
has not been lost upon Abdul Hamid,
and he is now quietly but effectively
building up n navy. The fiscal Sys-
TEN has been much improved, the war
debt paid, ana there is n little money
left for a sudden mobilization. Schools
and colleges have been built in great
numbers, brigandagc has been rig1r-
ously put down, at least in European
Turkey. railroads interscct the country
in all directions, and modern improve
ments have been made use Of to beau
tify the most important cities.

New York, April l7.-Rcccnt
uttcringS by leading clcrgymcu of
several of the strongest of evan
gclical denominations indicate the
purpose to make Il concerted and
vigorous attack upon what they
regard as the growing evils and
the dclusions of Christian Science
doctrines.
Closely following the scoring
which the Christian Science heal
crs and their tcncts received last
week at the hands of prominent
members of the New York East

copal Church, prominent divincs
of this city, as well as in cities all
over the country, have opened
their batteries upon the same OBJ
iective.
Leading New York representa-
tivcs of the Christian Scientists
reply mildly, if at all, to these at
tacks. In fact it is openly assert
ed at their beautiful marble palace
here, that the publication Of such
attacks by the newspapers actually
brings them many new converts.
Indications are not lacking that
the evangelical denominations OF
the Christian church have taken

alarm at the rapid strides the
Christian Scientists appear to have
been making in wealth, power and
numerical membership within the
last few years. Disciples of Fact
assert they have G23 societies with
200, 600 members in this land.
Dispatches received in this city
from prominent ministers turnout
the country, the leaders of the
Methodists, Presbyterians, Bap-
fists aud reformed denomination
well illustrate the feeling against
the society. In these dispatches,
almost without exception, the Sci
entists are assailed as blasphemous.
Their name is declared to be un-
warranted aud hcresy, described as
one of the most mcnacing cncoun-
tered by Christianity.
