One of these young men, named Serope, had the sole charge of about fifty of the most advanced scholars, whom he instructed daily in the Word of God.

The principal men in the Armenian community at Broosa soon decided to place a select class of boys under his instruction, to be trained for the priest's office, and eight were thus set apart.

Before the end of the year both of these teachers gave hopeful evidence of piety.
Very interesting cases of conversion occurred at Nicodemia, at the head of the gulf bearing that name.

Mr.Goodell, when passing through this place in 1832, gave several tracts to some Armenian boys.

One of these, a translation of the "Dairyman's Daughter," came into the hands of a priest, whom Mr.Goodell did not see.
