Armenian Horrors.
On November 9th at Missis (Mop■uestia), in the province of Adana, tbe commander of the Turkish troop? of the reserves, with a number of hip m«n, entered the Armenian Church dating service, tore the vestment? from the priest's back, desecrated the sanctuary, poured out the holy oil and. the sacred wafers, tore up the Bible and prayer-books, beat thf priest and outraged his wife who lived in rooms adjoining the church. In tha same month in the city of Ceaarea, several hundred Gregorian and Protestant Armenians were massacred. It seems probable that in every case the offer of life on condition of acceptance of Moham medaniam was made. Numbers of women and children of twelve years of age werethns killed, after refusing to deny their Lord. A considerable number of women and children in the city' and surrounding region were carried off ns booty by the Muslims.
