If a church be formed of Jewish converts alone, it should be in full communion with all other Christian churches.
Manual labor schools and hospitals for the Jews, employing converts merely for the sake of giving them employment; boarding-schools to serve as houses of refuge for the children of converts; expenses incurred for shielding converts from persecution or for teaching them trades; were not regarded as within the range of missionary work; but the converts were, in general, to be left, as the Apostles left them, to meet the consequences of their conversion upon their persons, their families, and their business, as God in his providence and by his grace should enable them.
Mr.Maynard was removed by death from his labors within five months after his arrival.

In company with a New England clerical friend, he made a tour into the delightful region of Thessaly for relaxation and health.

Unconsciously they exposed themselves to malaria, and both took the same fever; of which Mr.Maynard died at Salonica, and his friend at Athens.

Mrs.Maynard soon afterwards returned home.
The place thus early vacated was filled, in the following summer, by the Rev.Justin W.Parsons, who was accompanied by his wife.
The Salonica Jews had scarcely more than the shadow of education.
