He preached, also, by the wayside, at the same time distributing books and tracts.

Writing in 1843, after stating that fifteen hundred young men, from all parts of Greece and Turkey, were in the schools and university of Athens, Dr.King adds: "And yet God, in his wonderful providence, has permitted me to stand here, and preach in the plainest manner, even to the present hour, without let or hindrance, and that, too, in the midst of a dreadful strife of tongues.

I have heard it remarked by Greeks, how truly wonderful it is that my preaching should never have been attacked.

I see many students and others, and converse with the greatest plainness, and I think some are persuaded of the truth." Mr.Benjamin was also doing much good in the department of Christian literature.

The books prepared by himself and Dr.King were printed at Athens, and were more acceptable and influential for that reason, than if printed elsewhere and by mission presses.
