plorable than even the wide-spread misery' which

communion sympathise with the 'Russians and up-

that their religion places them in a worse position
than their brethren who. by acknowledgment of the
Papal supremacy obtain the most invidious pri'
vileges—privileges continually turned by the Latin
priests into engines of ,proselytism ? In the pr'
