SHOCKING 0dcURRENc -V Some years since I was traveilihg from the tion of Chnstianity in China, though not m its purest form'. The Syrian monument, alluded to by Mosheim, as found in Se-gaa-foo in the Chi nese Drovince of Shen-se, on the borders ofTartarv". . . . . . a . ' ' contains according to Mr. tjruizlari the lollowmg ' record. Obpwan, the Neslpriin, entered China from Judea A. D. 636, after having escaped great perils by sea and land. . The learned Emperei Tae-tsung, whose royal residence was . fixed at Se-gan-fop, in Shen-se, welcomed his arrival, ex amined his doctrine, acknowledged its truth, and published an edict in its favor.; A ! church was built, and one-and-twentv persons appointed for its service. News of this success being conveyed ' to the Nestorians" in the west, a great number of the brethren entered China! as missionaries. For almost eight years their, churches flourished, but v.their mixture of superstition yell nigh proved their ruin. In the reign of Heuen-tsung, Aj D. 713, they were ;confounded' with the Boodhists, and a 1 severe edict prphibiting the WOrship.of idols, pub X lished against them. The severity of this perse v cution howiever, did not extinguish their zeal ; for "'jCjirisUacity, even r in "its most deformed shape, '. contains withiri it an invigorating and 'eviving energy. Though we know little of their subse- iyegt history, , yet j we are told that the LJhinese vnurcnes Were constantly supplied with missiona- (fties from Syria, doWn'to the time of the ferocious Mohammedan conqueror, Timour or Tamerlane, . ia the 14th century, whbse blppdy . hahkL swept i them utterly away..- The Nestorians have ever been among the purest of the Eastern Patriarchal churches; though for some time! past-they have partially acknowledged tre authority of : the Pope of Rome. W -:Siy-'i- .-. t ' i: III. Papal Missions. .. .. j, ; The Roman Catholics (chiefly: it would seem &om political motives) have laboured in this great Missionary field.

L But Kuhlal was then put 21 years of age ; he had not y et established his ' jower. and his conversion to Catholic Christianity appears to have been; nominal, for whe4 Emperor : Jf China in 1263, he declined submission, to ' the rope. Yet ma nv facts show that this great con- ' queror ever viewed Christianity itsell with a favo J?ble eye. Nayan, his uncle, a professed Chris- . cniei, haa rebelled against . him. ! A great number of Christians! were ia the ranks pf Nayan; a&d the sign ot the crpss was in his banners'; but "a army of 400,000 men was cut' to pieces by the Impetuous valor of Kublai.
