The prayer sanctioned liy lilctlint Moham medan authority and recited every iluy thnuirhout Turkey and Eirypt. while s'tyllnK all those not Mohammedans as'lntldols.

Who ure these American and English and Fcotch missionaries who nre heiu hounded among the niountuius ot Armenia by the .Mohammedans? The noblest men aud wo men this side of heaven. Home of them men who took the highest honors at Yulo ami Princeton aud Harvard and Oxford and Edinburgh. Some of them women, gentle aul most Chnstllke, who, to have people tiny never saw. turned their backs on luxu rious homes to spend their days in idfexpu fruition, saying goodby to father und mother and afterward goodby to tlnur owu children as circumstances compelled Iheui to .eud the little oue to Euglnu I, S rotlaud or Amerieu. 1 have seen these foreign ntisKiouanea in their homes all around the world, und I stamp with iudignutiou upon the literary blackguardism of for eigu correspondents who have deprecated thtwo heroes and heroiues who are wihlug to live and die for Christ' take. Tiiey will have the highest thrones lu luaveu, while tin Ir defamors will not get ncur enougu to the shining gates to e the faintest glint of any oue of the twelve pearls which Ulttko up the twelve Kale. This defamation of missionaries is aug mented by the dissolute Eugllsi', American ud Scotch merchants who gj to torelga elite, leaving their families b'himl them. Those dissolnte merchants lu foreign cities lead a life of such gross numerals tiutt the pure household of the mis.-iouarlus are a perpetual rebuke.
