I bless God that He brought me here, and I feel almost like saying, 'Now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace.'" It should be said that this visit to Marash was in the midst of a revival.

The resident missionary, Mr.White, describes the work as being chiefly among the Armenians and Roman Catholics.

"Every night they met in the houses of the Protestants and spent hours, sometimes even till near morning, examining the Scriptures and comparing them with the corrupt teachings of their own churches.

Our young men were very active, laboring both day and night, so much so, that the Catholic bishop said he could not understand it; that if the young men were paid for thus laboring, the missionaries had not money enough; and if they were not paid, they had a love which he could not understand.

Many of his people, however, seemed to comprehend it better than he did, and are now regular attendants at our church." The veteran missionary pays a noble tribute to the wives of the missionaries at the several stations of the central mission: "I felt myself rebuked when I saw the earnest, self-devoted spirit of my missionary sisters, who are laboring in Aintab, in Marash, in Antioch, in Aleppo, and in Oorfa, for the salvation of their degraded sex; thinking little of the sacrifices they have made in leaving America, to live in such a country as Turkey.
