"To the Greek"

By R. S. Greaves

At the beginning of the present year a new Greek mission was organized, which includes also Macedonia and Albania. Janina, our present headquarters, is in Albania, just north of the Greek border. It is a city of 30,000, with a large Turkish garrison. Nearly all speak Greek, including the Moslem people.

The general formalism among the Greek Orthodox is fairly illustrated by the remark of a young business man the other day. "I don't care much for religious reading," he said; "that isn't in my line." Then, not to be misunderstood, he added, "But I'm a good Christian; I belong to the Orthodox Church." Tho this people seem among the last to be quickened by the message for these times, I am persuaded a great work will yet be done in these regions from which the Macedonian call sounded in apostolic days.

Janina, Albania.
