The report of the last meeting was given by Mrs. Walter Potter, and it was stated that the next meeting will be in March Miss Park gave a resume of the third chapter in The Kings Business
 Then the leader gave a most inter esting description of .Constantinople, illustrated by a fine panorama showing old and new Constantinople, the bridge between, the Asiatic and the European shores, the Bosporus, etc. As one rounds the point and views the beauti- ful harbor with it's ships of every na- tion, it is a. scene unequalled in any harbor except possibly Rio Janeiro or San Francisco.
 In Stamboul, the old part of the city, is the Bible house from which evan gelistic work is carried on all over the empire. Walking down to the Galata bridge one pleasant way is through the spice bazar, then over to the new city, where are European shops equal to any in America.
 Miss Hyde described a trip through that region where one soon reaches smyrna, a cosmopolitan city. In the vicinity of SiYas is a population of 100000, and it will probably soon be a railroad center. Marsovan is one of the strongest mission plants of western Turkey. The graduates of SRobert col lege have done 8 wonderful work in Bulgaria.
