TURKEY.
It is almost universally believed that the empire of Turkey is about to be blotted out of the page of modern geography. The great politicians of the day aver that the seeds of annihilation are thickly sown in the Ottoman dominions, and that as a nation, the Turks cannot possibly exist much linger. The religious aspect of Turkey is somewhat encouraging, and calls for gratitude on the part of the Christian public wbo have aided the various missions, with their prayers and their purse. On this important subject the Wesleyan Methodist Magazine says:— 1 " Among the nominal Christians of Turkey included in the general denomination of the Greek Church, and among the Jews also several Societies have been in operation. The American Board of Commissioners has a very extensive and prosperous mission among the Armenian nation in Asiatic and European Turkey, which ha* been in operation for more than twenty years. Its influence has extended to almost every consid erable town in the empire, and there are few large cities into which the light of Divine truth has not found an entrance; and the number of persons who have come out from the corrupt and fallen native churches, and profess themselvesProtestants under the care of the American Missionaries is continually increasing. The Ameri
can Board of Missions and the Free Church of Scotland have Missions to the Jews in Constantinople. The London Society for promoting the Gospel among the Jews has also a Mission in Bucharest, in Wallachia; and together with the Church Missionary Society extends its labours to other parts of the empire, especially Syria and Palestine."
