vartabed, tlie interesting bishop of It. I
learnt from this bishop, that there arc within
the walls of Constantinople not far from
1,300,000 souls.
Now, said the bishop, if all these hundreds
of thousands, could bo sent to America or
England, for some ten or twelve years, they
might perhaps learn something good, be delivered
from the power of darkness, and become
fitted to belong to the kingdom oi
Christ.
14. I received a letter this morning
from B. vartabed, the above mentioned bishop,
whose diocese is all Thrace. In this
letter heslvles mc, "The honorable father.'1
t '
?"The illustrious preacher of the gospel,'
etc.; and he begs me to overlook and forgive
a misdemeanor in one of the young men in

striking instance of the confidence and

church towards us and our objects.
Dec. 9. Went with Mr. Dwight and Senakcrim
to Has Kay, one of the suburbs of
Constantinople, and called 0:1 deacon K.,
the learned priest, of whose ordination with
* fourteen orders, and of whose hopeful s'aic
you have already been informed. The evidcnce
be gives of being truly "A man after
God's own heart,'' is becoming more and
more decisive. He was well acquainted
with the hopeful Armenian, mentioned in my
journal under date of September 30th ; and
lie said that the man's conversation, after lie
had visited me, was so very remarkable that
lie had writtten much ot it down; and raising
his hand, he added in a lender and interesting
tone of voice, "Whoever takes the gospel,
and lives according to its hoiv precepts,
becomes a very sweet man."
This priest has the charge of a school,
consisting of 375 boys, with some half a dozen
under teachers, or assistants. A class
of twenty, the finest boys in the school, were
attending, under his more immediate direction#
to the critical study of the New Testament.
MISSIONARIES WELCOMED IN TERSE*.
Extracts from the Journal of Mr. Perkins
at Oomia/t.
Nov. 19. We again rode six fursaks;
crossed the mountain ridge which separates
the province of Salma from Oomiah, aud
reached Galavan, the village ofMarYohanua,
the bishop who resided with me during
the last year at Tabreez. Our attendant,
who is a nephew of the Bishop and belongs
in this village, rode forward to announce our
cowing. A mile and a half before reaching
Galavufi, the bisbop came full gallop to meet
as; and as we approached the village, nearly
all the men in it inarched out in procession
to welcome our arrival. Their repeated assurances
of "welcome, welcome, welcome,'
were long and loud. "Were the the whole
work! given to them," they said, "their jo)
on that accouut could not equal that created
by our coining."
The bishop conducted us to his own house
where a large room was neatly spread witl
' carpets lbr our reception. Every thing apr
pea red very cleanly, and much cnro and labor
had obviously been bestowed, in anticipation
of our arrival. A dinner of bread,
1 butter, cheese, melons, and raisons, was irn.
mediately spread before us. While at dinr
nor, the bishop called his brother, a lad of
fifteen, to entertain us by reading English.
} The boy took an English New Testament
* from his pocket, and read to us the third
3 chapter of Matthew, as accurately as most
r bovs of his age in America could have read
1 it. We were alike surprised and delighted
at the exhibition. The boy had never received
nnv English instruction, save what
? O ^
1 the bishop himself had given him since he
and the priest returned from Tubreoz, four
months ago, afn r residing 8 or 10 months
in my family. IJoth the bishop and priest;
' immediately alter they re-ached home, eoni'
mcnced, each in his native village, giving
English instruct ion; and this hoy's prolicien(
I cy in a (air specimen of the success w.hicli
1 ' has attended their clforts. That the Nes jic
n noonlo lirivp fme talents and an
, ^ ~ , ,
*' unquenchable thirst to learn, we have the
" j fullest demonstration;?. "This boy," said
the bishop, as his brother closed his book,
' i "I shall give to Dr. Gran'. I wish him to
s J complex* his knowledge of Knglish, and
'' study medicine." The boy is very bright,
i amiable lad, and Dr. Grant has since taken
* 1 him into his family.
e ! In the course of the afternoon, my friends
1 called to welcome us to Oormiah, with whom
we Itad friendly conversation. At evening,
I we spread our fare upon our stool, wliicli we
'* I used on the road for a table. The bishop
! had ordered a lamb to Ivc killed and directed
my attendant to cook it lor the occasion.
111 A considerable number of villagers were in*
11 i vjted to partake wi'.h us at our evening
1 i meal. A iul just as we were sitting down, to
' [ crown the feast,our German brethren, Mes.
1 'srs. Hoerule and Schneider, rode up to the
' door, on their return from a lour into Kur'
distan. Wo passed the evening delightful*
; iy in conversation with those missionary
1 ( friends and Nestorian guests.
| [On the 20:h they travelled to Oormiah 32
*, miles, where the house provided forthem is
r,.a comfortable one. The Governor sent
j "the chiefoftiie government servants tocongratulate
them.]
Nov. 22. TlicIIoly Sabbath. Tliebisli5;
op and priest who lived with us at Tabrccz
I were with ;is at break fasti After breakfast
' j the bishop inquired if we had attended prayf
| crs this morning. I answered him in the
'' | affirmative, and inquired if he wished to at'
< tend pravcrs with us. "To be sure," said
ne, "i "vvisji un\u> iu uiiuu ?uui wu <i< ^u'ui
] religious devotions."
f f Both the bishop and priest speak English
' j sufficiently to make themselves very well
' j understood. They appear exceedingly at1
i tached to us anil seem to take it for granted
j ' that they are to live in our families. They
! are now of great service to us in assisting us
1 j to get our house repaired and arranged for
' . winter; besides they have become so intel1'
ligent and American in their character, that
j we find in them very agreeable companions,
i We received many visits and prcs.
j cuts, both from the Nestorians of the city,
i and of the neighboring villages. Mooktasi,
I (the pilgrim, i. e. to Jerusalem,) among the
rest, came from Cieog Tappa. the village of
our priest, and brought with him his little
1 son whom he presented to me on my visit to
' I Oormiah last year. "This child," said the
! old man, "is no longer mine; he is yours.
lie is no longer Nestorian; lie is English.
' His name isiio longer Yohannan;it is John."
* J _ w
j The old man then told his son to read to me
in my own language; and the boy took from
i his pocket the English Now Testament and
j read to me a chapter in an admirable man;
j ner. He is one of those wliooi our priests
j has been ins'rue ting in English, since lie
; and the bishop returned from Tabrcez.
!, This boy I have taken into my family. He
i learns lust, and is a very promising lad. I
hope and confidently trust that Providence
designs him as a burning and shining light
. among his benighted fellow countrymen.
| 21. The governor again sent for permisI
sion for tho khan to call on us, and communicate
his congratulations; but we were still
obliged to-defer him until to-morrow, for
i want of a place in which to receive him.
25. The khan called to visit us. He is j
an accomplished Persian, and said ail the |
i fine things of which Persians are so capa- ,
b!e, in praise of his governor, (who belongs
to one of the most renowned lauiilies in the j
kingdom,) and respecting the universal joy !
j which, he said, is spread throughout Oor-j
miali, by our arrival. Respecting us, he i
I said, among other tilings, <#Your eoni1
>*.??? Kuro i<a tlx- ricinir linnn ttip
' ill6 . n
| world, hitherto, darkness has prevailed, but
! now the light has come." The khan doubt!
less alluded in this iigure to the prospect of
i temporal benefit from Dr. Grant's practice
in medicine, and by giving secular instruction
; but we hope his remark will prove
; prophetic in a higher and more glorious 1
j sense.
26. Our large yard was full, as it is ev-;
cry day, fronwtiorq^g tiil night, of the halt ,
la: ue, and blind, and the diseased of every j
description, waiting to be healed. ? May I
these multitudes feel the disease of sin, and

CHARACTER OF THE TIRES.
Extract of a letter from a missionary.
I have been much disappointed in- the j
character of the Turks. When in Ameri-i
ea, my conceptions of it wcho those of the
most cruel barbarity and ferocity. I used
to feel that I should always tremble to
, enter the presence, of one of them. But
; my fears have not been realized. There
are many things in their character that del
servedly call forth admiration. Those in
[ the higher ranks of life have much appar
rent mildness, dignity and ease in their
t manners. And the impression they make
. upon a stranger is quite in their favor. It |
' is true they still love to domineer, and
} have a disposition to oppress. And with
r the scenes of the Greek revolution fresh in
. our minds, we cannot acquit them of the
charge of cruelty. Still, when their rage
, is not particularly excited, as it was then,
i! they are both capable of, and do often ex;
, -- -
hibh feelings of kindness and generosity.
Aod. a? to honesty and integrity in dealing,
I bel&e it is the general opinion, that they
arc father more worthy of trust and-confidence
than the nominal christian.
,
rresejrr state of the american tract
society.
The Executive Committee of the American
Tract Society feci constrained to call
the attention of its friends and supporters
, to its present pecuniary warns.
; At the close of the. Society's year end ng
on the 13;h of April last, the Treasury was
! short of meeting dues in the sum of ?2,303;
03. That sum is now increased to ?12,|
080 77, for. which the Society's responsi.
i bilities have been, for the time being, as'
sumed by individual members of the Coin;
initlee.
While such is the deficiency of thesocieiys
means, i's plans were never so en.
large. 1, nor the lields of promise opened
helbro it so extensive. The circulation ??f
^ ' A^?ii/7y?P/7 T?%*n\\ rr,*l%,
i?U" CO- 1<*I\ > CH.UWMII tt JJUUIij'i niufc . < .
wwy* is exciting so deep an interest in our
large cities and towns, and throughout the
colmnuniiy, that the stock in the ^Society's
Depository must be greatly increased, as well
j as new volumes added, to meet the demand.
J And besides supplying families, churches,
; and as-ooia-ions, tiie most urgent appeals,
spread t>elbre the Society and ^nlortaincd
' at its last anniversary, are still pressing lor
t the supply of our shipping, st&wi and canal
j boats on our maratimc and internal waters,
with Libraries, involving a probable expenso
of not far from $30,000 ; and lbr
which the Committee are gradtied to ob[
Serve that ladies have commenced subj
scriptions of ten dollars each, in the hope
I that others will do the same, to the number
of 3,000, and thus complete the amount.
As a commencement of the distribution for
seainen and boatmen, the committee liave
i already granted libraries to the amount of
81,000, lor the ocean, and $1,000 lbr our
I internal waters.
| The claims of the Blind have also born
\ presented: and the Committee have rei
solved :o appropriate 81,000 for printing Pi Ij
giinis Progress in raised letters for their
j use.
i There remains also but nine months of
: the Society's year for obtaining the sum of
835,000, which the Society at its las^ unni*
versarv resolved to attempt to raise the present
year for foreign and pagan lands, a sum
judged the least which it could consistent*
i ly attempt to raise, and which many who
| took part in the meeting, in view of the wide
openings abroad, were anxious to increase
| to 845,000 or 50,000. Of the 35,000, the
committee have already designated 83,000
lor Russia, in answer to the call of the
Rev. Mr. Brown, now in this country,
from St. Petersburg; and the whole
amount received for foreign distribution
since the commencement of the Society's
year is about 6tf,T75 12.
The comnHttce cannot but further invite
the attention of the friends of Zion, of every
name, to the duty of personal nativity in
Tract and volume distribution. These
publications themselves God is greatly
blessing, and the presentation of every copy
gives a happy opportnnity for a word of affectionate
warning, or counsel, by which
individual Christians may do much, through
the divine blessing, tor the eternal welfare
of men. It is to be hoped especially, that
the circulation of volumes, which are furnished
at cost, will be voluntarily undertaken
by Christians in every part of the country,
and prosecuted till all the accessible
population around them shall be supplied.
The Committee would s.'ill further invite
the attention of the friends of the Society
to the last Annual Report, containing a
mass of interesting facts and documents
bearing on each department of its operations,
and evidences of the superadded
blessings of the Holy Spirit, which must
warm ami cliecr every unnstian nearr.
The Committee feel that, to ail who look
for redemption oi' the fallen world through
the instrumentality of God's people, this
Society now presents at once a most encouraging
and^urgent claim for their pray,
crs their personal efforts, and their liberal
contributions, which may be directed in any
channel of the Society's operations, according
to the will of the donors.

I MUST FRAY MORE.
Extracts from Xevins' Practical Thoughts.
1 habitually feel this necessity, but the
other day the conviction came to my mind
with strange power, and 1 said with greater
emphasis than ever, J must pray more.
It struck me with indescribable wonder
that so little time should be employed, and
so little energy expended in prayer, even
by those who are prompt to acknowledge its
dignity as a privilege, and its eflicacy as a
means of obtaining good. It is not now
as it was in practical times. We do not
pray as Jacob did. He wrestled until the
breaking of the day. Yes, his praying was
wresliiug, ana it lasted ali night. THc nut

But prayer is not merely the easiest
n ay of obtaining good. It is the only way
of obtaining the greatest of all good. The
subordinate necessaries of life we get by
labor or purchase; but the things we most
need are given iu answer to prayer. The
one tiling needful is a divine donation.?
We a-skj aud receive it. Now we labor
much. Why do we not pray more ?
Do we seek a profitable employment?
' None is so profitable as prayer. No
labor makes so large a return. If
you have an unoccupied hour?and you
have many* or might have?by redeeming
time you cannot employ it in any way tiiat
shall tell so favorably on your interest as
by tilling it qp with petitions to God. Yet
when we have such an hour, how apt we
are to spend it in unprofitable intercourse
with our fellows, rather than in communion
with God. It is wonderful that we talk
so much, when "the talk of the lips ten- 1
doth only to penury,'" and pray so little,
when prayer "brings a quick return of blessings
in variety."
O e
Is there any thing attended by a pun r
pleasure than prayer? One who knew
said, "It \sgood for mo to draw near to God*'
?arid again, 41 It is good to siug praises
unto God: for it is pleasant, and praise is
comely." All the exercises of devotion
are as full of pleasure as they ore abundant I
in profit.
But prayer is not only a means ofgetting (
good. It is such a means of doing good, j
I wonder our benevolence does not lead us i
to pray more. We are commanded, "as j
we have opportunity," to do good unto all I
men. Now prayer affords us the oppor- j
tunity of being vnircrsai bcuefaetors.?
Through God we can reach all men. We
can make ourselves felt by all the world
by moving the hand that moves it. In j
no other way can wo reach all. Prayer j
makes us in a sense, omnipresent and om- j
nipotent. It prevails with Ilim who is ,
both.
The tcorld needs vour intercessions. It
lies in wickedness. Zion needs them.?
Sho languishes because few j)ray for her 1
peace; few come to her solemn assemblies.
Whosefamily needs not the prayers of its j
every member? Who has not kindred that j
are out of Christ? With such a call upon
us for prayer so urgent and from so many
quarters, I wonder we pray uo more.
I must pray more because Christians,
.whose biography I have read, liave prayed
more than I do.
God is disposed to hear more prayers
from
mo than I offer; and Jesus, the Mediator,
stands ready to present more for mc. 1
If I pray more 1 shall sin less.
I v///pray more. Tho Lord me help to
fulfil this resolution.
AS AMIABLE CHARACTER*
Among the papers of President Edwards,
there was found the following beautiful character.
It is that of her who was afterward
his wife:?
They say there is a young lady in NewIIaven
w ho is beloved of thai great Being
that made and rules the world ; and that
there are certain seasons in which this great
Being, in someway or other invisible, comes
' to h<-r, and tills tier mind witn exceeuing j
sweet delight;.and that she hardly cares tor \
any tiling, except to meditate 011 him; that j
she expects, after a while, to be received <
up where he is, to be raised up out of the
world, and caught up info Jieu\ en; being
assured that he loves her too well, to let her
remain at a distance from him always.? f
Here she is to dwell with him, and to be i
ravished with his love and d<-light for ever. j
Therefore, if you present all the world be- j
tore her, with the richest of its treasures, she 1
disregards it and cares not for it, and is unmindful
of any pain or affliction. She has
a strange sweetness in her mind, and singu- j
lar purity in her afiections; is most just and J
conscientious in all her conduct, and you
could not persuade -her to do ativ thing
wrong or sinful, if you would give her all
the world lest she should offend this great
Being. She is of a wonderful sweetness, |
calmness, and universal benevolence of j
mind, especially after this great Clod has
manifested himself to her mind. She will
sometimes go about from place to place,
singing sweetly; and seems to have some
. one invisible always conversing v. ::h her. [
forth no such power in prayer, and we do !
not allow the repose of our nights to be in. |
terrupted by it. It is not because our }
wants are all supplied that we are so fee- i
bio and brief in prayer?nor is it that
God's beauty is exhausted. We are as
poor as creatures ever were, and He as
, rich and munificent as ever. His hand
is not shortened, neither his ear Heavy.
If prayer was nothing but a dufy, we
ought to pray more. We do not prav
enough to discharge the mere obligation j
of praver. We are commanded to pray more ;
than we do, aye, to pray "without coa'sinj." i
But prayer, while it is a duty, is rather to
be viewed by us in the light of upriritegc.
And O it is such a privilege! What a
favor that we may petition God and ask
of him eternal life, with the confidence that
we shall not ask in vain ! How strange it
is that we no more value and exercise this
privilege of prayer! It is astonishing that
the souse of want, or desire of happiness,
does not carry us ottcncr to the throne of
grace, and that we should ever require to
be incited to prayer by the stimulus of conscience.
Oh! I wonder that we do not oftener
go iri unto the King, whose gracious
sceptre is ever extended towards us?I
wonder we have not more frequent and'
longer interviews with our heavenly Father.
it is strange we do not pray more,
when prayer is the easiest way of obtaining
good. What is so easy as to ask for
what we want? How could we receive
! blessings on cncaper terms? Surely it js
j easier than to labor, and less expensive
J than to buy. It may be hard to the spirit
to ask of men. To beg of them you may
