Forsome years the country was devastated by the wars between the | Russians and the Turks, and finally it nian was was divided, a part being absorbed by | Russia; the eastern portion fell to Per. | sia; and the balance became apart of { Asiatic Turkey, and is governed from | Constantinople. : In these three sections, the Armeni. i i | ans predominate largely, and form an { important and valuable part of the popu- { lation. They everywhere retain their | own language, customs and habits, with a special love of country, that isto be | admired and commended, They are | principally merchants and farmers, es- { pecially noted for their industry and { frugality. They at present uumber about twelve millions of souls, the great majority liv- | ing within the boundaries of what once { constituted the kingdom of Armenia. { The part now belonging to Turkey is { mostly inhabited by Armenians, the balance of the popu'ation being Moham- { medans and Jews. | Their early religion was patriarchal, | { but they gradually drifted into idolatry, their religion being a mixture of Greek { mythology and Syriac idolatry. Early | | in the Christian Era they were convert. | | ed to Christianity. It is said their King | | Abgar, being aflicted with leprosy, be. | { sought Jesus by letter to come and heal | him of his fatal malady, and offered him | a refuge, in Edessa, from the Jews who were seeking to destroy him ; that Jesus promised, alter his departure to send one of his disciples, who should heal the king and give life to his people. After { the ascension Thomas sent Thaddeus, | one of the Seventy, to Edessa where he preached with such power, that ‘the King with many others believed and | were baptized.” This narrative is some- | times considered legendary in its char. | deter; yet it is universally believed by | the Armenians, and this belief is great. | ly strengthened by the fact that Fuse bius quotes this letter of the King to Jesus, in his churel history, and refers to the journey by Thaddeus to Edessa. Others of the Early Chureh fathers also refer to this letter, the subsequent jour- s | ries of Luly onee famous country, | ed with Biblical lore, the | Was a con. | extin- | ney of Thaddeus to Armenia, and the conversion of the King and many of his people. Whether this is true or not, ib is a fact, that soon after the oulpouring of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pente. cost, Christian churches took the place of heathen altars in Armenia, and the kingdom received new life, and renew. od energy. Asearly as A. D. 300 Gre. gory the Illuminator, was ordained Bishop of the Armenians by Leounitius, the first nation that unitedly embraced Christianity. Since then they have strenously ad. hered to the Christian faith, amid the most cruel persecutions, and under the most adverse circumstances, they steadfastly remained Christian, and many have suffered death rather than adopt Mobammedanism. The Ar. menians have for more than 500 years withstood all attempts to compel them to reanunounce the religion of Jesus Christ, and as a consequence they incurred the hatred the Turks, and { slightest provocation the Turk has car. of upon { ried fire and sword among the Armenian t settlements, and has mercilessly murder. destroyed their An Armenian’s life 18 never » of the Moslem, his in danger fed these people and d DPeSE nd feild £1} Ary % 5 SHGTen are aiwa ie and ¢ unspeaxabie oulrages, and is prop- | 3 pres % is the commot 1 ‘ R F : n Ff 2) wit OF ue wie su within the riresses of Anxious Oppress | i — what of Herzegovinia in she accom.
