Dr.. ocottt believes that the re-

ion there. The overthrow of the
old Turkish government by the
Young Turks will open the way
for missionary work and the
Christian missionaries can gain
easy access to the country and the
hearts of the people. Dr.. SC tt is
gratifed to know that the princi-
pal leaders of the Young Turk
movement are graduates of Robert
College, a Presbyterian missionary
institution IN Turkey. Dr.. Scott

fitting il that 1t not only encour-
ages the study of the Book Of

but is for the benefit of all insti-
tuition in which DR.. Wood was
greatly interested and for whose
success h.. iabored earnestly. DR..
Woods chlldr II are to ba congrat-
ulated.
