Fisk, Lewis of the Jews' Society, Wolff, Jowett and King, all met at Aintura, for the friendly discussion of some practical questions relating to missions, which were soon arranged to mutual satisfaction.

How many dark and troubled ages had passed, since there was such a company of Christian ministers assembled on that goodly mountain! The journals of Mr.King, here and elsewhere, have a singularly dramatic interest, and were eagerly read, as they appeared in the "Missionary Herald." Those of Mr.Fisk are also rich in the information they contain.

He was able to preach in both the Italian and Modern Greek.

Mr.King's labors were chiefly in the Arabic language, in which he preached the Gospel with the utmost plainness.

Yet he appears to have secured in a remarkable degree the good-will of the people.
