Protestants in the Turkish Empire

James S. Dennis, in the Church at Home and Abroad, says: "There are 70,000 Protestants in the Turkish Empire, including Egypt. Of this number 15,200 are upon the roll as church-members. At the present time the average additions to the mission churches amount to about 1,500 every year, and we have good reason to expect that this will soon run up into the thousands. Our United Presbyterian brethren in Egypt recently admitted to the church 365 converts in a single year—one for every day of the year."
