osul. — W. Frederic Williams, wight W. Marsh, Henry Lobdell, M. D., Missionaries; Mrs. Julia Marsh, Mrs. Lucy C. Lobdell.— Two native helpers.
Diarbekir.— Augustus Walker, Missionary; David H. Nutting, Physician; Mrs. Eliza M. Walker, Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Nutting.— One native helper.
Out-Station.— Hainee. — One native helper. Mr. and Mrs. Dunmore, for reasons growing out of the state of her health, have been transferred to Arabkir. Dr. and Mrs. Nutting have joined the mission within the period under review. The death of Mrs. Williams is deeply lamented by her associates at Mosul.
A distinguishing feature of this mission is the greater degree of intercourse, as compared with other missions in Western and Central Asia, which it is enabled to have with Mohammedans, thereby diffusing among them a knowledge of the true doctrines of the gospel. In the midst of alarms at Mosul, and of outrages at Diarbekir, even to incessant stonings in the streets, for which unhappily no real redress has been obtained, and against which no efficient protection is afforded by the local authorities, our brethren have dwelt in safety. Mr. and Mrs. Walker, on their way to Aintab, fell into the hands of Koordish robbers; and Dr. Lobdell, on a tour through southern Koordistan to Oroomiah, was also in danger of his life. But the Angel of the Covenant delivered them from their fears.
The situation of the native Protestants has somewhat improved; but such is the venality of the local magistracy, and such its disregard of imperial orders, that they are called to the endurance of many trials for their attachment to the truth. Still the word of the Lord is preached. A blessed work of divine grace has been commenced; and we cannot doubt that it will be carried forward to a successful issue.
