same year I returned to Constantinople preach
ing by the way. I baptized 6 persons on this trip,
I3 of which were local preachers and one a young
teacher. I baptized was released in Dec. to return
home by President George Teasdale having been
in Turkey 3 years within a few days. Altogether I
injoyed my mission very much and felt I was
very much blessed of the Lord and feel sure that
our united labors in that field will yet result in
much good.

Several elders have been sent to labor in
Turkey since I arrived, but according to the best
of my knowledge most of them are either released
or soon will be, some because of sickness others
because of lack of means and, perhaps, but little
faith in that mission. There has been about 30
baptisms in that mission and we have many warm
freinds.

The difficulties in establishing the Gospel in Turkey
are many. In order to preach the Gospel success-
fully there we should be recognized by the Govern
ment. We have petitioned for recognition but have
obtained none cheifly because no means were
at our command to pay our way.

Printing could not be done to any appriciable
extent because we were not recognized.

While wvisiting Palestine I became convinced
