Walker has been absent, the church has increased, the congregation has increased; and that it is not an idle increase is shown by the fact, that this one congregation has, in the year of the missionary's absence, contributed four hundred dollars for the support and spread of the Gospel; for schools, two hundred and forty; for the poor (a year of high prices and great want), two hundred and seventy-five; and for the national head at Constantinople, forty." The year 1865 was signalized by the death of two very useful missionaries,--Rev.Edward Mills Dodd, and Rev.Homer Bartlett Morgan.

Mr.Dodd died of cholera at Marsovan, on the 19th of August.

In 1863, he was transferred from Smyrna to Marsovan.
