Note 71 — Chapter XI · AMERICANS IN TURKEY, THEIR WORK AND INFLUENCE.
Reading edition
“The creation of churches, strict in their discipline, and protesting against the mass of superstitions which smother all spiritual life in the National Armenian Church, is undoubtedly having a very salutary effect far beyond the limited membership, and is tending to force reform upon an ancient church which contains within herself the elements of resurrection.”—Mrs. Bishop, Journeys in Persia and Kurdistan, vol. ii., p. 336.
