Mr. Basmajian Rev. Mr. Haamajiau, of Armenia, preached a very interesti ng Herman in the Methodist church Inst .Sun day night, to n large congregation. Ho speaks Knglish plainly and J speaks of his native country in an J interesting manner. He spoke of lh?> sufferings of his people at the hands of the heartless Tuiks, and how the}-, in spite of the obstacle in their path, still retain th<; doc trines. of the Chistinn fnilh He delivered a leeture in tl:e Opera! House last Monday night to a large! audience, who appn oiqlet] very highly Ins talk on the cos lotus, manner and sufferings of the Ar menian people. He has come to our country that he may f>eeome a eitijten of our country and I hut he may return and preach t<? his peo ple, under the protection of the American flag. Ho gave- another lecture Tuesday night. From lite many things he said Sunday night we gathered the fol lowing interesting facts ; Ai meuia is about'as large as l lie two Caro lines, is under control of Russia, Turkey and Persia, and has a pop ulation of three and one-half mil lions. The Armenians however are scattered all over the earth, hence the lecturer termed them J'seoond Jevys.'1 There ore )/), 000 of them in America, and they aro here, as at home, peaceable and law-abiding people. Armenia claiips the honor of having been the site of the Garden of Kden, be ing traversed by the Tigris and Kuph rates rivers. Noah's Aik alighted in Armenia on Mt. Arra rat, of which the Armpnjaug are very proud. As to religious cus toms, the people are great church goers, though there are no seals or windows in the churohes. The peo ple sit^on the church floor, the wo men in the galleries and listen to singing and scripture-reading for five consecutive hours, though they do not understand what iq being read, the IJ.ble toeing in clntsic Ar menian while ihu common people speak modern Armenian. Hals are retained tin the head while shoes are left at the church door, and as there aro thousands of at tendants, exchanged are often made in footwear involuntarily. In the course of his remarks Mr. Hasnaojian took occasion to com pliment the United States, I rig that had his country heen situated near bere the atrocities of the Turks w/?uld have heen slopped. Tbe lecture wae Interspersed with singing in Armenian and English, wblcb revealed the fact that Mr. .Baamajiau baa a voiee <4 great sweetaess abd flexibility. Ife waa OQca a iihoir In Armenia.
