TURKISH CHRISTIANS.
Discoveries Which Prove the Early
Spread of Christianity in Asia.

At the beginning of this year discov-
cry was made al Semirjetsche. in the dis
trict Of Fergana, west Of the Chinese from.
tier at kuldja and northeast of Kokand,
which is OF great interest to historians
and Orientalsts. 1t was near the ruins
Of a fortress called Burana, built of bricks
and situated on the spurs Of the Alexan-
der mountain chain, that DR.. Porakow
found two old decayed graveyards with
numerous gravestones, many OF which
bore a cross and others chiseled
inscriptions. They could not he decf-
pbered on the spot, both characters and
language appearing to be quite unknown.
The Catholic missionaries IN Kuldia be-
lieYed the characters to be Ngurian
while the Lama OF the Kalmucks believed
he recognized in one of the inscriptions
the Buddhist form OF prayer ON ma hOnl.
II was determined to take several tomb
stones, fourteen photographs and eig ht
rather imperfect copies or the inscriptions
to st. Petersburg, where they were handed
to the Councillor of State Chwolsou, who
soon declared the character to be Syriac-
HISTORIAN.
1t was difficult to decipher, for, be-
sides the age and decay of the stones and
inscriptions, they contained new italics
not usual in Old SyrIac, and also quite
foreign letters, probably taken from the
Arabian alphabet, and, very unexpected
ly, some Turkish words and proper
names. This having been found out, the
deciphering proceeded rapidly, and Prof.
Chwoson' sent a report to the ROYAL
Academy OF Sciences In st. Petersburg.
The inscriptions have primarily paleo-
graphic interest, and are furcher remark
able on account Of their peculiar gram
matical forms and turns of speech. They
also give the animals names Of the
twelve years cycle of the Mongolians,
Chinese and Turks in their original form,
whereas these names were hitherto only
known from an Arabic translation.
But their historical value is still great
er, for they prove the early spread of
Christianity in Eastern Asia by the Mes
torians, which was hitherto only conjec-
tured. 1t IL true that IN the eleventh CEN
tury there was already news OF the con-
version TO Christianity OF a mighty Turk
ish race living northeast OF kuldla, whose
Kings governed large kingdom, anG
whose power probably gave rise to the
legend of the government Of the high
priest Johannes in Asia, and that this as
well as other Turkish tribes were con-
verted by the HISTORIANS is shown by re-
ports of Christian missionaries Of the
thirteenth century, aud BY Marco Polo's
reports; but till now there Was no certain
proof of all these sayings, and the inscrip-
tiOns now deciphered show that indeed
the HISTORIANS succeeded in converting
Turkish populations not later than the
eighth century, for the Oldest inscription
from Semirjetsche belongs 10 the Begin
ming OF The ninth century and the latest
to the middle OF the fourteenth century
probably 1887.

A great deal has been said and written
