Excerpt from Christian Missions, Vol. 2: Their Agents, and Their ResultsThe Church Missionary Society, in their sixty-third report, 186951: give this quotation from their principal agent in Tur key. Dr. Pfander takes this sober view of the mission at the close of the year 1861 Though there is no particular move ment going on among the Mohammedans, yet there is the fact that they continue to visit the missionaries. Our work is indeed but small as yet still I am thankful that some progress has been made during the year, and, above all, that the trans lation and printing of the Miftah and the Mizan, through God's help, has been accomplished.' Perhaps some may think that the only help in such proceedings came from the money of the Church Missionary Society.The Americans have acquired more notoriety in these regions. Their operations in Turkey commenced in 1826, and by 1844 they had already thirty-one missionaries in that country.§ Not that they have attempted any conversion except oft tians, as Mr. Walpole remarks, the Turks, he adds.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
