We are still at war, with Turkey as the peace treaty with that couuntry has not been concluded. And we are bound as Christians to be deeply interested in that trenty. Constantinople is a city whose history is bound up with the history of Christianity. Of the six great councils of the Universal Church no less than three were held in Constantinople. The great Cathedral of St. Sophia was built for Christian worship and its whole structure and ornamentation proclaim that it was never intended for a Mobam medan mosque. And no tresty of peace with Turkey will be satisfactory unless St. Sophia is, restored to the Christian Church, It is not a sacred city for the Mohammedans and their religion is no more bound up with the retention of Constantinople than Christianity is de pendent, on the temporal power of the papacy.
