CHAPTER XXV
3/33

The stations,--called such because missionaries resided at them,--were fourteen.

Twelve of these were north of the Taurus, and two were south of that range.
Constantinople, Tocat, and Aintab had each a training-school for native preachers and helpers, and there was also a girls' boarding-school at Constantinople; and thirty-eight free schools were scattered over the field.

Nine years after the organization of the first evangelical church, the number of churches was twenty-three.

The church at Aintab was the largest, containing one hundred and forty-one members.

Kessab, a long day's journey south of Antioch, where no missionary had ever resided, had a church of forty-one members.
