The active piety of the church seemed to be quickened by their trials; and thirty, out of one hundred and one members, were wont to go out two by two, by appointment, to spend Sabbath evenings in religious conversation at different houses.

Miss Maria A.West, of the Western Turkey mission, spent the winter in the family of Mr.Walker, and took a very active interest in the success of the women's weekly prayer-meetings.

The attendance at these meetings sometimes arose to seventy, and the results of labor in this direction can hardly be over-estimated.
Ararkel, a very valuable helper at one of the Bitlis out-stations, died in August, 1865.

He was a most active opposer of the truth when the gospel was first preached in Moosh, but one of the first to accept it, being convinced by reading the Scriptures.

He was persecuted unto imprisonment, but bore all patiently.
