Another bereavement occurred at Aintab in the death on the 3d of June, 1851, of the Rev.Azariah Smith, M.D.Such was his peculiar adaptation to different fields, that he had labored in many places, but had a special attachment for Aintab.

The uncommonly rapid development of the active Christian graces at that station was largely owing, under God, to his skillful efforts, and he wished there to spend the remainder of his days.

In this he was gratified.
