Summary

Description
English: The etched image of the church published by the Illustrated London News, May 4, 1867 with the news ‘...Its erection does much credit to the zeal of the English and other Protestants of Smyrna; but they are obliged to appeal to their friends at home for assistance, as there is a debt of £500 still resting on the church; the principal cause of this debt having been the difficulty and delay in procuring workmen during the time the cholera was raging in that country in 1865. As the first Protestant church built in that ancient seat of Christianity where the apostle John resided and preached, and Polycarp suffered martyrdom, there is a peculiar interest attached to this structure, and it is suggested by our correspondent, Mr. J. Crick, the honorary treasurer, that many rich and liberal Christians in England would gladly help to liquidate the amount still due if the case was brought before them. Any subscriptions paid into the London branch of the Imperial Ottoman Bank, to the credit of the Boudjah Church Building Fund, would be thankfully acknowledged’.
