    them had been cut off from the church years ago, for immorality and are now restored. The students, during the past few weeks, have had some delightful experience in street preaching, to young men in the old Armenian church. One of them, at the last Sabbath evening prayer-meeting, reported a congregation of this kind averaging seventy-five souls each Sabbath, which he had been enabled to gather at one of their favorite places of amusement, under a wide-spreading tree in the street. Another reported finding a large company of young men, much heated at playing in the street, upon the Sabbath, and saying to them, 'If yon will listen to me, I will teach you a better play,' he at once began reading from his Testament. All immediately left their play, and after listening respectfully and attentively to his reading and preaching, they thanked him cordially for his words, and dispersed.

Some new stone khans are quite equal to those of Constantinople, and are occupied by many thriving mercantile establishments."The mountains north of the city are full of alum, which furnishes quite a revenue to the government, and adds much to Cheap Beats By Dre the business of the city. There are also near mines of silver, lead, and iron, which are being worked, and others just opening in which gold is said to be mixed with silver. They have been explored lately by Europeans sent out by the government, with favorable reports. All the miners of this country are Greeks, and should be the objects of missionary effort."The morals of the nominal Christians are bad compared with many of our interior cities. Rakee, a distilled liquor, is extensively manufactured and used, being made chiefly there from the mulberry, which is very abundant. Intemperance prevails also at Enderez, and I have no doubt at the other villages of the plain, as they abound in the grape and mulberry.
